Used this one, thanks!

A little late to the party here but I have a grinder very similar to this that came as part of a Belsaw model 1055 saw blade sharpener: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=20462 The grinder on mine looks almost the same as yours for the center section and tag, but doesn't have the...

Thank you @wyliesdiesels for the additional input, I appreciate it! That all makes sense and I think I understand what needs to be done now. The house has a GE panel and another subpanel right next to it...though now that I look at them closer I'm not positive how they're wired as I don't see...

Thanks for the detailed reply, I appreciate it. It is EMT. If I upgrade to a 4 wire feed what do I do about the EMT creating an alternative ground path (bad as that ground may be)? I suppose I could cut it off at ground level in the shop and stick on a piece of PVC conduit to break the ground...

I have a detached pole building built in 1975, and the current sub-panel is too small and is definitely not code compliant (to any year of code...) I'm looking to add a few circuits in the shop but have no room in the current panel to do so, so I'd like to replace the current panel and address...

It's not fun, but you can open one of the print files that prints well in Notepad as well as one from Cura that prints badly and compare the starting G code commands to see what the difference is. Google search will tell you what each command is doing. Once you see the difference you can...

Bit out of date, but I got ticked off by my toilet chain constantly causing issues and stumbled upon a solution from a plumbing forum - throw the chain in the trash and replace it with fishing line. I used 20lb test, tied it to the flap, looped it through the lever and back to the flap 2-3...

Those extended tap handles look very handy...never seen that before. And of course, you ****! :lol_hitti

Sign turned out great!

Great progress! That shaper is cool. Never seen one in person, but they look like a neat machine.

That Pacemaker is just too cool...it's got style. Nice work on the shop cleanup. Should pay back quickly in efficiency and reduced frustration. I've been doing a bit of that myself. I have to run a dehumidifier to keep my tools from turning to rust. Otherwise it hits 75%+ humidity and stays...

I gotta wait for the season to come out on video so I can binge watch it :thumbup:

It's been about 6 months so I figured I'd better pop my head in and see how many fingers and toes you currently possess :giggle: - looks like you're doing pretty well! Nice progress on the house! Looks like your machining skills have grown exponentially. That sword is way cool, and quite a...

Nice progress on the shop! I've been using a shop vac on the hornets around here. No toxic chemicals and it works really well if done in the early morning or late evening. I was surprised to see a couple of them still crawling around after a couple weeks when I opened up the vacuum though...

Good idea to knock out the punchlist before starting on other projects...I should try that sometime lol

I wonder on your forklift steering issue what would happen if you put it together as-is and try to forget about the tight gearing...not ideal, but it is a forklift, and if the steering works, it will probably keep on working and wear in a bit over time. Assuming this doesn't put excessive strain...

Happy new year Vlad! Enjoyed your ice driving video - nice job keeping control of the car despite the sliding. It's rare around here to see anyone who knows how to handle a slide without ending up crashing.

That's sig-line worthy material there 🤣 If you get stuck and need help with the programming let me know. I can't help with programming a pic, but I know a guy that likes this sort of project and used to program them for our assembly tooling. As an alternative, rubber cuts pretty well if you...

Nice progress on your machining journey! Being able to run the toolpaths on the Hurco should certainly help catch any issues with the post processor - glad you got that figured out. On your 1/4" end mill woes - agree you should NOT be breaking them when doing a 0.5mm finish pass. How much...

Wow, that *****. Sorry to see more destruction, but glad you got it figured out. Our last mill had something wonky in the post processor and I killed a part when I used a particular op for the first time. For our new mill, FeatureCAM didn't have a post, so I had to build one. It was supposed to...
