Re: VFD recommendations

Ugh, i just ran across this thread and realized that I forgot to get some 5/16" tool bits when I made a tool order the other day. Oh well, looks like I'll have to make another order? ;) Anyhow, I was doing some facing operations on the mill today that would have warranted the use of the fly cut...

Re: Belt material

There was an automotive serpantine v belt on the lathe when i got it, only had 3 ribs, hence 3 clips and the thing failed pretty quickly. I tried like hell to find another ribbed flat serpantine belt but couldn't find a full 1" or anything with more than like 4 or 5 ribs i think?

Re: Belt material

My freaking leather belt broke! lol I ended up putting the rubber belt back onto the lathe. I got the belt to a good tension and everything is working fine so far. However, I went out and did a quick lathe project today and noticed that all the honey i had used to dress the belt had turned to oil! I...

Re: .22LR Suppressor build

chrismum, Go Texas! I have a brother who lives there and I've been to Houston to visit as well. I cleaned up my comments as they weren't contributing to your original post and I didn't want it to turn into a useless bunch of garbage. I'm a shooter, have my CCW, love the 2nd amendment but see no poi...

Re: Belt material

Used to make drive belts for 12 years in another career. Made up a synthetic belt and it lasted until just recently sold only after 22 years with no adjustments. Turned lots of commercial conveyor pulleys 48-56" long, got lots of use out of it. Can you recommend a belt? I have an under cab mot...

Re: .22LR Suppressor build

Ah man, did I miss a spirited debate? You didn't have to delete anything, I enjoy reading a good and heavily spirited debate! I will say this, growing up in the state of CA and listening to the everyday goings on of armchair law regarding firearms, you'd think it a certainty to end up in prison if y...

Re: .22LR Suppressor build

I know there was a recent law change but I'm not worried about it. A few more hoops to jump thru but whatever. An individual building a form1 suppressor isn't the same as an FFL manufacturing machine guns. Anyways, if something happens and there's some mix up on my part regarding the law it's only F...

Re: .22LR Suppressor build

And I now realize that the title is very deceptive and looks like you're going to open the thread to see an awesome suppressor build. Sorry about that, I promise I'll post pics of the build when it happens! (In like 10 months after I turn in my paperwork and the ATF gets thru with it)
