    b&d grinder parts

    My local Ace hardware has a divided drawer of brushes, find something the next size up and grind down. Since there are two wires, maybe increased current carrying capacity, or worried one brush may fail in the engineers mind.

    W. MFG. CO. N.Y. Buggy Wrench? ID

    I’ve always thought of those wrenches working on these types of hoses, and treated them the same way a parochial grade school handled you when you mis-behaved, by the ears.

    Pin fitment gages

    No concerns, I didn't take it wrong. I too have lots of tools, but I have no concerns about using an inappropriate tool, if it safe to me and the tool.

    Yup, I can agree with that. Put a miter slot bar on that, push it onto my SWAG mounted Portaband, one less fear in my life.

    Pin fitment gages

    I didn't say it was the right tool for the job, but it seems to be what the guy in the video used. They may sell something else that looks like that tool, but I figured once he was on their site, he could poke around further. Do you always use the "right" tool for the job, or one that gets it...

    Thinking outside the Machinist box, and into my photography days of yore, I had a tripod where the attaching bolt was turned down below the threads. Your screwed thru the base, then it hit the open threads, and could thread into the camera base, and tighten down. Of course, you need to have...

    Case for CDI 401SM / Snap-On Qdriver torque screwdriver

    I bought the Vessel USB-C screwdriver set, and didn’t want to pay to import a case from Japan. Looked on Etsy, and a lot of 3D printed stuff popping up there. Find one you like, see if they will adapt for you. https://www.etsy.com/market/vessel_screwdriver_case

    Pin fitment gages

    At your insistence, I watched the video. Only part of any value was when he dropped them on the bench / rag. I screen shot the image, zoomed in to read the tag, looked. It up online, and here you go. https://www.asttools.co.uk/pin-set-automatic-tensionersast4593?search=Pin

    Pin fitment gages

    I have no time or energy to watch internet videos that don’t involve dogs or people faceplanting, but here’s what I know based on your description. We have McMaster-Carr pin gage sets at work. Definitely don’t fit on a keychain. We have a 0.06 to 1.29 mm, and 1.3 to 5.0 mm maybe...

    beware, those are generally awful planes. Friends have had very bad things to say about them, hard to adjust, crappy ergonomics.

    I’m in the camp of “if it looks like a woodworking tool, but is way overbuilt, it might be a printers tool”. I’ve seen planes, miter gages, and something else that is escaping me right now, that looked like it’s WW counterpart, but stupid stout. Looked up the patents, and all three were...
