Re: What Are Your Thoughts On This.

To all the skeptics above ...I agree!... Plus we have all seen what acetone can do to plastics and rubber so I would not use it regularly in the fuel tank, in fact even a one use to "clean" the system is risky. If you have ever dipped a disassembled carb in acetone to clean it, as I have b...

Re: Extending shaft on an electric motor

1 you're mig welding in a VERY small area 2 I think migging it in place will result in the new shaft having a lot of runout If I needed to do it, I think I'd put a few flats on the shaft and try JBWelding your drilled extension on it. Stuff's pretty good if you don't expose it to heat. or in this ca...

Re: Which asian lathe???

Take an online look at "Sumore Tools" in Shanghi. If you're willing to work at it, you can import one yourself for way less $ than you would believe any way else. Get into the online text/email with a rep named "Kelly" and explain you're an individual, not a company, and ask abou...

Re: frozen fittings/shafts/bolts

I had the opportunity to test the heat-water-heat-water process again today. An allen head stainless steel bolt in an alloy casting, was corroded internally and clearly was not going to turn. The heat-water process had it turning well in a few minutes. The bolt was in a thru hole so the water got to...

Re: Can Capped Jugs of Acid Cause Rust?

I too live in S Florida, and I have to run a dehumidifier in the garage/shop EVERY night. If I don,t, the very next day everything is rusted...machines and hand tools as well. Muriatic is stored in the open, maybe 5 feet away, but I have seen no more rust near that spot. Didn't know there were diffe...

Re: Float charger for winter

I have used that? HF battery float charger for some time. The HF one, as I remember, had a warning about not using it on a battery that was nearly discharged??. When I tested it, it would not light even a small 12 v bulb. I found it did not deliver enough current to maintain the battery on a 1965 tr...

Re: Don't know how to thread on this lathe
