Are you thinking hollow chisel?

Dont know about a Cincinnati, but the quill feed on a Bridgeport isn't anywhere near as tough as a good drill press.

I had a 5/16" endmill new from its tube. Part didn't come out quite right. Turned out to be ground to 11/32".

Dont forget to break the edges. I peeled back a good sized chunk of meat on a knuckle some years back.

And there's a vague memory of something similar with a freshly jointed piece of hardwood.

'Something' I worked on some years back... steppers.... 'stall torque' ... ???

Open loop ... missed steps from overloading the system ... ugly parts ..

'Book Search' system was open loop....

Finally watched the videos. I was pretty confused over climb cut vs conventional, and rotating into or with the spiral of the flutes, and what might be the best approach. But I was thinking you were...

I'd probably try making some wood wedges to fit in the flutes so I could clamp it up in a vise without damaging it.

And then try prying the collet open with a screwdriver in one of the slots, at...

Lack of appropriate shop space, and plans to move, led us to assemble a 2nd CNC router in a shipping container. Router was 4x16 ft travel.

We got a shipping container with double, double doors on...

I used the blade from a combo' square, on edge. Lay it across the cutter and the outfeed table. Rotate the cutter by hand. If the outfeed is too low, it will lift the rule and drag it forward. Tweak...

Another good point.

Even with 2 flute I prefer to ramp in if possible. Old habit ... hard to break ... but seems like there's less crud burned onto the tip. But 90% of the 'wood' I was routing was...

Forgot, slotting with a 4 flute puts a flute on centerline, which is trying to deflect ... 'things' ... while the trailing flute is generating one of the walls.

A climb cut might need a finish...

Chipload is the same, SFM is less.

Vertical needs to be secured? Even tipped back 15 to 30 deg? Gravity is your friend here. Small'ish pieces probably need some kind of restraint even horizontal. Anything substantial you can probably...

'Spectrum Supply' pop's in my head ...

If that doesn't come up ...bury me in 'abuse' until I dig thru 10 or 15 yo email to figure out where I sourced them, and what I got for ????

I've got a...

'Long blades' ...at some point equals how much of 'that' do we have in stock.

It's sold, at least in reasonable sizes, in 100 foot spools.

A couple of sizes ... whatever's left, 1/4 to 1/2" ......

I have a power feeder that's free, and requires no adjustments.

My right thumb. Yeah, it gets tired... but it's free and so far hasn't complained enough that I'm inclined to toss it out the door.

Euro machines...

It's not a 'jointer', it's a 'surface planer'.

And then you move it to the 'thickness planer'.

My ... uh ... 741 ... has a lever adjustment. I make light passes jointing, using a thumb as a guide based on roughly half the twist. Yes, so far at least, I've raised it above the table before...

Always helpful. Thanking you in advance.

Where did I see 'freeze/thaw' cycles pushing posts out of the ground?

Mount it to a sled, with 1/4" clearance to the blade. Add hardwood jaws for 'zero clearance'.

Seems I've seen a parallel clamp mounted to a sled. Adding a hold down clamp of some sort wouldn't be...

A friend had several Amada cutoff saws. Went in there one day and he was cutting 8 inch plus stainless. Not a problem ... get the feed pressure right ... and ...

He'd 'dress' the blade every few...

Long glass fiber seems to do well to keep concrete together. Can get a bit 'fuzzy' at places its not well compacted in to.

I looked at a dome house for sale. Ridge top, southern'ish views, beautiful.

Early spring, Santa Cruz mountains. Already too hot inside for my tastes.

Dont know if its still there after the...

I worked out how to do this on 'something' some years back. Lever switches with a cam plate running past them, or a momentary pushbutton ... which I think was near impossible to find?

Wiring is...

A rack and pinion vise. Don't think I've seen that before. Looks like a weight and pulley for clamping force?

And that cabinet is amazing.
