I did this a few years ago (Ram 2500) but I was not building a spec unit. I had good luck as follows:
1. I emailed my approx. specs to 5 dealers telling each I was reaching out to others. (2 never...
All, we talked about some investing earlier this year. I'm pulling back from tech stocks now and I plan to review this decision early next year. I think we are going to have some chaos in the USA...
I was in SLV an ETF. I planned to sell at 15.80 but reading the tea leaves (stronger dollar, sluggish metals in general) I got out "early". I don't know about 174 - I would be having someone post...
If anyone followed me into Silver I am getting out now; offered as a PSA. I think the strength of the USD is going to curb the silver climb. There may be some more money in silver but for now, I'm...
Samin is a delight to watch - I like her positive attitude. Attitude is not everything but an "I will get this done" mindset goes a long way with me in any sphere of endeavor.
I have been cooking...
Ron,
Stunning.
I was ogling these for some time before I realized that they were yours. I should have known right away - they have your "no excuses" style about them. I bet the ironwood...
Dennis,
I think you are right on the nose. No one KNOWS what is going to happen in the long or short term (no one who on earth anyway). I will confess that investing gives me some illusion of...
Bonds are EXACTLY what I was taught to use in deflation - you are spot on. But I simply don't (or almost never do) use them. I got my eyebrows burned on bonds many years ago and I diverged from the...
I don't have a quick answer.
Deflation in a laboratory would hurt gold and silver where there is an infinite supply of money. In the real world, at least in my investing lifetime periods of...
I picked Silver because the ETFs are more accessible than gold (SLV for example) and the silver to gold ratio is out of historical norm hugely in favor of a silver increase.
Precious metals are no...
I take Julian's advice in the best possible way - it's what my friends often say to me. I think investing, like any aspect of our daily lives, has a strong case to be made for outsourcing to experts...
I use Brownells Acraglas epoxy dyes for this kind of thing.
I have herd stories about people "picking" fine steel wool to collect iron pigment, but do-it-yourself has limits for me.
Alternative: I buy and use food grade diatomaceous earth. Its not an internal toxin for insects it destroys their exoskeleton. When I was a boy they added this powder to milled flour - they may...
Nope, its a boring old barb to 1/4" NPT - you would then need the Milting fittings after that.
I don't think you can do it all with one fitting - at least I have never seen one.

OH! You are plotting to retro fit a fixed hose without threaded ends at all?
I would start with Zoro PN: G1502916 for that.
But, yes the small ID of that coupler and the smaller hose are going...
I found the PNs (above) for the 1/4" Milton parts for you if that helps. I gave away all of my 1/4" after I ran my first grinder on Hi-flow fittings with a larger hose.
I have had some success...
Derek,
I think the part numbers for a 1/4" FNPT V Style High Flow Coupler is #764. The Plug end would be 1/4" FNPT Female V-Style High Flow Plug, (Brass) part #761...
I just ran and took a picture for this (I hope this pic blows up enough to be of use).

In my example picture I have a 1/2" Flexzilla hose (Note this hose has 3/8" ends). I have tried to...
I can tell you what I do. I buy hoses with no fittings (just 3/8" NPT Male treads mostly) and then buy Milton V Style fittings in boxes of 10.
I buy 1/4" NPT to V Style-male for my air tools. I...

Here is a better shot of the top of my top guide holder. Note that V grove that the back of a blade has cut - I guess that is why old machinists tell you to always stone the back corners of...
No, I didn't spot the LH orientation at all. I never know when pictures might be flipped, etc.
I have been considering making some guides up. David Charleworth made some brass ones (if you...
Brian,
Are your blocks made from wood, steel or sintered bronze? I can't tell form the pictures.
My tires were held on with wire (its complicated and terrible) when i got the saw. I think the...
I had a Delta 14" with a riser for many years and it was a great saw. This all started when I found that 36" in the back of a "room" with only part of a roof over it. I was not looking for it - but...
David, That looks just like what I need! Thanks.
