Who would buy an aftermarket Titanium revolver cylinder for CCW?
Doing a 180 on this subject I have a S&W 986 9mm revolver with factory titanium cylinder. The titanium requires special maintenance/care and has cylinder bores at .358. For regular competition revolver I would prefer a steel cylinder with cylinder bore closer to .355 to match my custom 6"...- Zip

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
Hey guys...I need to order some bits that will dig in and start drilling. Right now all of bits won't start any cutting at all, Would like to bore out (grind?) the center hoping that it will allow the cobalt and titanium bits to dig in on their sides. What do I need to order? Thanks -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
I used that drilling kit mentioned above to repair the rear glow plug on the passenger side. When that specific glow plug head broke off the center electrode came out with it. So center drilling was easy. The problem with this one is getting the drill bit started, as per the link below I picked... -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
The tools will prevent this anything entering the cylinder. "Two links below" https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=455762 https://www.instructables.com/How-to-remove-Broken-Glow-Plugs/ Notice how much clearance on this Duramax vs mine. -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
We have the air tool to remove them, this one was already broke as is when we got the truck. On this specific Duramax engine there is no way to weld a nut on it, even if we could there is no way to get a socket on it, just too far in with no side clearance. I'm considering softening it up with... -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
The way the plugs and removal tool works chips aren't a concern. You'd have to see the process in action to understand. Space is very limited and for some reason I can't get a drill bit to start cutting (left or right bits). Had to make a drill bit extension to reach the stub. The stub must... -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
There is absolutely no side clearance, a welded nut won't clear the side. Tried making some slip on nuts (via lathe) but can't get a TIG or MIG "deep" connection with the existing stub. The way the tool system works - metal in the cylinder is not a big concern, Thanks for the thought. -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
Thanks for the response...just took one apart, the core that I need to drill is not tungsten..the portion that is in the combustion chamber is. I just need to pick up a couple split point bits. -

What drill bit to drill glow plugs (tungsten) Duramax?
Have a Duramax engine with broken glow plug, have a repair kit but need to drill a guide hole. Problem is the center, I assume is tungsten? The glow plug body is not. I understand that a #7 or 13/64 drill hole diameter is required. What type of drill is required. -

Would stainless heli-coils strengthen aluminum bonding?
Thanks all...had to use one to repair a tread and thought why not for all of the screws! -

Would stainless heli-coils strengthen aluminum bonding?
More of a curious question, let's say you are screwing (2) pieces - of lets say 3/8" aluminum flat stock together with 10-32 screws. Do you think inserting a stainless heli-coil would strengthen the bond...or at least enhance the strength from repeated screw removal? -

Suggestion need to control control arm bushing
This mounting pilot shaft is welded into an automobile cross member. It is 1-1/4" OD and has a 5/8" bore. As is it is about 3/16" too long, how would someone reduce the length and at the same time keep the face reasonable square? This will allow me to install the current control arm. Might be...
