Rcull, sir Look up "coil rod" ( Coil Rod - SureBuilt Concrete Forms & Accessories ). It's used in concrete form work. Hope this answers your question. Stay safe Calvin B

B&C, Sir Ahh cut off tools... You should be able to part stuff off at the same speed you turn it ( for the diameter). Cutting oil is your friend, get some. Sharp tool is a must. Don't be gentle on the feed.. The chatter is to to A: to light of feed B: wrong tool height C:tool dull or wrong...

Dope Sir, Here's a few things that may be of use to you. Always consider the 'direction of force' when milling. If your 'up milling' ( feeding the work piece into the work whilst cutter is exiting the top ) the part is going to want to kick forward. Put a kicker or a stop to keep it from moving...

Hey Ya'll, Many years ago when I was doing concrete day in and day out.. We had a rather large job where we used coil rods for our form work.. LOt's of nut turning there as the wall was 'battered' ( think pyramid shaped) and we only had one length of rod. Boss wouldn't let us cut the rods down...

Bikesandcars, I think your just fine with what you have.. Get your motor mounted and quit over thinking things. Make chips ! Stay safe Calvin B

Hey Ya'll, Awhile back I had a rash of bad bits.. Just couldn't seem to find any that didn't immediately need sharpening. ( I have an Oliver 21 and a Oliver 600 ) Lately I've had good results with "cle-forge" brand from MSC. Just an observation from a small job shop owner who has no skills...

To the OP, Just fill the hole up with 57's ( that's Maryland quarry/mdot speak for 1/2 blue stone/lime stone gravel ) That would be the industry standard solution. Stone can be 'settled' but not compacted. Pour what ever thickness of concrete you wish. Pin into existing slab if you wish.. If...

tdmidget, sir If not a designated shotgun, maybe "smooth bore musket" or just "musket" would be a more correct in the way of terminology ? Stay safe Calvin B

Bart, I have seen a similar gun of that type.. It was known as a 'ships gun'.. It could be used as a harpoon gun or as a line thrower. Also had the ability to be used as a forage gun for a shore party. Think more along the lines of a shotgun for the shore party work so no need for sights...

Mark P, sir I recently ( last year ) bought 150 lbs of exactly that type of "mixed bits" for 100.00. I use mostly HSS in my shop and I have the tools to grind what I want/need for jobs so those bits would have value to some one like me.. ( I'm good probably for the next ten years with what I...

Hacken, sir Some of the above listed p-series oil are wrong. I would suggest calling the Mobil industrial support line and have a list of what you want cross referenced and go with their recommendations. Last number I have for them is 1-800-662-4525. If this is no longer a valid number I...

To the OP, Have you considered a bead roller ? Not to put to fine a point on things but it's a basic tool that anyone who messes with sheet metal should have.. Here's a little video that may ( or not ) inspire you. Metal Shaping with Lazze: Rolling a Bead with a Wire Edge - YouTube Hope...

teemfan93, Always go with what the soils engineer says to a point... 6 inches would be fine with a suitable subgrade to park equipment on.. Grade beams for the lift would probably be OK to.. As fur the anchor bolts.. well is a spread footing and a column called for ? Spread footing would be...

Zimbo Sir, The resolution of the pictures is not great enough for me to identify what you have. More detailed photos would be a help. I suspect what you have has been modified.. Til you can post better pictures you could browse these good folks web site and try and identify what you have...

Zimbo Sir, Can you post a picture of just one of the chasers and a corresponding empty slot in the die head ? I think you may have "k" style head. But then again I could be wrong. The chasers you show have been heavily modified. Stay safe Calvin B

TG Sir Actually it's a relativity simple nomenclature that Mobil devised for it's oils.. Named oil ( for example)DTE medium is a 'circulating oil'. Just plain old oil. The numbered series have EP ( extreme pressure ) additives in them. So named is plain and numbered has additives. If there is...

Hey Dope, Sir My experience is with a '2L' which is all mechanical ( no hydraulics ).. Anyhow DTE medium would be an ISO 46 oil..( cinci oil P-55) My manual calls for way oil (P-53) which is ISO 32 or vactra #1. Interesting. The plunger/pump in mine had leather seals and after a bit they...
