Re: Surface Plate Decision

Two years ago I bought a Grizzly branded 18" X 24" from Amazon for $54.95 and free shipping.
They have since grown wise of their mistake and now list it for $208.41 with free shipping.

Re: Q: What chemical bonds rubber to metal the strongest?

Have you ever used Shoe Goo?
It pretty much glues anything to anything.

Re: I'm done with Harbor Freight

As a matter of fact it was clearly marked "glass bead" and the difference was only discernible with the microscope, trust me. I would never have bought crushed glass on purpose. I have been in this business for monetary gain nearly as long as you and i would not have made this mistake. Har...

Re: I'm done with Harbor Freight

The last time I bought glass bead blast media from HF I looked at it under the microscope and discovered it was really not beads at all but tiny glass shards. The surface finish it leaves is not a nice smooth "bead blast" finish at all. Previous purchases of glass bead from them were truly...

Re: I've got a math problem

If you look very carefully, you will see that the cartridge body taper is .0165"
per inch (the "one" is very faint but it is there). Easy to make that mistake
with a fuzzy scan like that.
You're absolutely right and after I posted that I realized my mistake.

Re: LED Ring Light for your milling machine.

If it is the power supplies, can you change the power supplies for the faded LED's and have them return to their original strength?
After they went dim they were lost forever..

Re: LED Ring Light for your milling machine.

My first attempt (this is my second) had the fading problem. I attributed it to a series of under rated power supplies that I went through. These have been up for over a year and don't appear to be fading. The power supply I am using now came from an LCD monitor and appears to work pretty well. This...

Re: LED Ring Light for your milling machine.

The same method I used to make under cabinet lighting for my kitchen.
I used a 600 led strip from eBay, at a dollar a foot it is fairly reasonable.

Re: Finding the Right Carbide Insert

If it were me looking for inserts I would check eBay for insert #TPU321.
The "1" denotes a 1/64 end radius and the "U" denotes a utility grind.
I just found them there for $17.20 for ten pieces with free shipping.
