    How to measure a small groove.

    Guys I could use a little help. I got a .375 shaft with a c-clip grove in it that measures .042 wide (See where pencil is pointed). I got to get in there to measure the diameter. Does anyone make a so-called knife blade set that would go on my caliper or do you maybe have a better way of...

All the smaller ones we have, we just weld a m4 adaptor to the tail to mount it in the tail stock of the lathe. My question here is what did...

    Slitting blade question.

    Boy’s I need your help. I have to cut a ¼” slot in a 1” X 1/8” wall chrome-moly tube. The cut passes through a 1” long fine thread. Unfortunately, I know nothing about cutting blades. I mean they got inline ones and off set ones. The little guy on my shoulder tells me I would want a large...

    Waste oil

    We had a fire and got a small amount of water in the coolant pump wells. I don't want to use oil milk in my machines. I just got to get rid of the stuff and compared to used motor oil this stuff would be sweet crude in that furnace. It's getting mixed into a 250 gallon holding tank, so I don't...

    Degreaser recommendations

    Thanks, guys, for your input. Didn't want to start WWIII. I ordered a gallon of Super Clean. If that don't work off to the ZEP we go but at least I know I'm in the right direction. Thanks again, Bob L

    Degreaser recommendations

    No fire damage, just light surface rust that emery cloth and 30wt will solve. No lighting. A bunch of third worlds had a vape distributing in the building with 50-gallon drums of shit that didn't belong in the building. Two girls that were living there illegally were killed instantly. I used to...

    Degreaser recommendations

    Let me explain the fire. We didn't burn. There was an explosion in the building behind us which blew out our windows and set off the sprinklers. The sprinklers ran for three weeks because of two uncharted water mains. All our cnc's total loss. Were just talking plain dirt and grease here. I...
