Bruce, a good air line design also has a slope to it that can be used to purge moisture post-compressor, but close to the compressor. "Ideally...

Part of this is due to marketing. A vendor can call a stone whatever they want. Two of my Washita stone were purchased more than 50 years ago. ...

Well, I just went and caught up a bit on the Centroid forum, and you first posted on the 11th and here you have it running on the 18th, that's...

Agenda direction is sounding great, Mr. McGrew! I gotta clear a few bills (roof and tuition) and will get my payment out as soon as practical. You...

I'm no fan of tool sets. You'll end up using about 3 of the 8. Call Thompson Tools and talk to them about what you want to do. They'll send you some...

I don't know, Brian...that carpet you have now is pretty nice... :) :D

This thread inspired me to make one of my own. The Cedar wasn’t ideal, but it was in the scrap hopper. The hinges are really too big, but they were...

I did the bread trick with rye bread when I was soldering copper pipes and couldn't get rid of the moisture from inside. That was the only kind of...

One of the repair posts uses a piece of brass tubing similar to what Tom suggests. Many ways to repair without having to replace. jtk

Howdy Tim and welcome to the Creek. Don't feel bad, some of my hand sharpened tools have developed similar skews even after years of free hand...

As Steven posted, turning the adjusting wheel upside down may be all that is needed. The wooden base will be kinder to your work in soft woods...

Thanks Brian. I think you are right about the Z height. I haven't figured out what to use to make it move to the rack without the G54Z0. I will...

Having the machine is particularly helpful if you are already making things to sell if crafting is your thing...it can speed up production, add the...

Yeah, build a 6 ton aquarium, and incidentally built a house around it. And you haven’t lived until you do a 300 gal water change. Always think...

I don't have any advice other but I think you've already let the bullet out of the barrel and there's no putting it back in. That chair is gorgeous. ...

Steve, LOL. You are correct, you are buying the label not so much the stone and you could misidentify a few and still save some money. ken

I thought of this but was worried the bread would not come out. But hey its fixed I just want to make sure it stays fixed with out taking it apart...

I'm all out of tampons:eek: LOL good idea tho

Nicely done, most rack tool changers move terribly slow, which I don't understand. I have Centroid on my CNC mill and it has no tool changer and it...
