    Looking for help finding Burtwell Oxy-Acetylene welding goggles from the past

    Hello MilGunsmith, Thank you for your suggestion. I am familiar with Kent White's products and he does sell a green rectangular lens for Oxy-Acetylene gas welding. I have a set of his. His lens tint blocks out the yellow flare from the flux you use, when welding aluminum. I am hoping to find...

    Looking for help finding Burtwell Oxy-Acetylene welding goggles from the past

    So I am looking for some welding lenses made by Burtwell that were popular in the 1940-50's. I do not seem to be able to find anything on Google? So, maybe someone here knows older welding equipment? Thank you. Cismontguy

    Need smallish quantity of Solventless Polyester Resin for coil winding impregnation

    Wow, did not even think if McMaster Carr? I order from them daily. Do not know whether I could empty the can into a container and submerge the winding, pull a vacuum and then after all the bubbles are gone, apply pressure? Cismontguy

    Need smallish quantity of Solventless Polyester Resin for coil winding impregnation

    Thanks for all these details. They are great. This is not a Space-X part but it has to be reliable as possible including some heat exposure of the internal combustion engine it will be sitting on. I tried searching for a smaller quantity of CC-1305 with 0 results. I like your idea of Epoxyseal...

    Need smallish quantity of Solventless Polyester Resin for coil winding impregnation

    Hello Tom, Thank you for that information. It is very helpful. I did not know that. I do know the Dolph resin is supper low viscosity, so it easily flows into the coil under pressure. I expect I would have to find an equally low viscosity resin for this to work. I did try calling 3M and the...

    Need smallish quantity of Solventless Polyester Resin for coil winding impregnation

    Hello Forum, I need to make some custom magneto coils for a job. I have been trying to find a source for solventless Polyester Resin that you use to impregnate the coils after winding. Dolph CC-1305 is often used because it does not require a catalyst and you can dip your coil in a container...

    Can not figure out the thread size on a H.F. Spray gun connector?

    Hello Forum, I have a perfectly fine Harbor Freight 4001 paint spray gun. I want to make an adapter for the connection between the paint cup/pot and the gun. The male threads on the gun that screw into the pot's swivel nut are not standard as far as I can see? They measure 16.5mm and have...

    Any TM-1 or 2 owners/operators in Central Virginia?

    Thanks Kingbob. Appreciate your input. I have been contacting a few owners who have used TMs for sale on eBay to get their feedback. Nothing I do is heavy but some of the parts I want to do are large in the Y direction like engine crank cases. Cismontguy

    Any TM-1 or 2 owners/operators in Central Virginia?

    Thanks klemchuk for your reply. This is helpful information. My Tormach is great but suffers from long operation times for small steel parts, so I am kind of use to that. I never am doing production work, just ones and twos, and I really need the large size of the TM series of machines. Cismontguy

    Can you use Fusion 360 CAM on a Prototrak CNC Mill or Lathe?

    Thanks for the reply and helpful information. I hope others will find it useful too. Unfortunately for me, I think this project has gone to someone else as I have not heard back from the company that I was trying to work with. Cismontguy.

    Can you use Fusion 360 CAM on a Prototrak CNC Mill or Lathe?

    Ok, Thank you for the link. I should have thought about looking at Fusion 360 rather than ProtoTrak? Cismontguy

    Can you use Fusion 360 CAM on a Prototrak CNC Mill or Lathe?

    Hello Forum, I am wondering whether you can use Fusion 360 generated G-code on a ProtoTrak CNC Mill or Lathe. I went to the ProtoTrak web site could not not easily find any idea as to whether there is a way to load G-code or is it all conversational? Thank you, Cismontguy

    Unusual thread/bolt on 1918 US built engine. Need help find out about.

    OK, Thank you everyone. #14-24 sound right. Guess I know how my morning will be spent tomorrow on the lathe. Crazy that it is one thread on one engine and another thread on another engine of the same type and manufacture. Regards, Cismontguy.

    Unusual thread/bolt on 1918 US built engine. Need help find out about.

    I am rebuilding a 1918 antique motor. I have three bolt holes for the front cam shaft bearing that I need bolts for. I have some bolts that came, loose with the engine, that fit the threaded holes in the case but they are too long and the wrong type of head (Fillister head rather than hex bolt...

    Heat treating aluminum sheet metal part? Salt bath?

    Thanks fro the link. I found these fine people in my earlier search. They do not offer small quantities of their nitrate salts, unfortunately. I only need 2-3 lbs worth. They sell in the 100s lf lbs volume. Nice web site, though. Cismontguy

    Heat treating aluminum sheet metal part? Salt bath?

    Yes, we both agree. I am not sure it is truly necessary? Its up to my client. I was kind of interested in the process. I am sure its impossible to buy a small quantity of the Nitrate salts, but who knows? Maybe someone sells it on eBay? Thanks for the links, they are awesome books! I was using...
