The CDCs allegation that the vaccine is "marginally" effective is just nonsense. The "seasonal" vaccine that is typically sold is statistically worthless. As I said previously there are MILLIONS of...

Flu shots are worthless and the whole flu shot industry is just a scam to make money off the ignorance and fear of the population.

The great varieties of flu viruses...

A lot of the photographs in older posts are not showing for me, there is just a generic Photobucket image of a fuzzy picture of a lathe.

Does that mean the pictures were hosted on Photobucket...

I want to wind a 3/8" coil which is 8 threads per 3 inches or 2-2/3 TPI. My blacksmith has a Clausing 4902 which, like most lathes in that class, only goes down to 4 TPI. Is it possible to use change...

"Lard oil (or machine oil) should be used when cutting screw threads in steel in order to produce a smooth thread."

Don't advertise. If you are a one man show, you don't have time to deal with customers off the street.

Go to whatever local shops match the kind of work you do and ask them for the work they don't...

I have a clamp that holds two pins as follows:

Material is 642 bronze. The planned clamping action is by putting screws through the flat part of the clamp to tighten it up.

The secret to getting a clean chamfer is to drill the countersink profile FIRST, then drill the holes after.

If there is a discontinuity in the surface, then it violates the surface finish requirement. The fact that the finish is damaged in only one place is irrelevant. The surface finish must be consistent...

Trying to turn the faces at the same time using a collet is not a stable solution.

The right approach is to (1) face one side, (2) turn the taper, (3) face the other side.

Doing things in this...

I have an automatic answering system that says "Press 1 to talk to jsc, Press 2 to leave a message, Press nothing if you a robocaller."

That is the wrong metaphor, :dopeslap: but anyway, the plastic will probably not last long. The reason is that when a shaft rotates it presses unequally on the wall...

I probably have THC "in my system" from college 30 years ago.

I wish more of my employees were potheads. Potheads are relaxed. In my experience it is the souped up job hoppers that rush things and...

Sounds like more of rant than a question...:nopity: but anyway

There are two kinds of safety: (1) crazy, time-wasting shit that OSHA makes you do, and (2) actual practices that are useful to do...

Some additional research revealed that the screw is called a "Delta PT" screw.

Nothing worse than these obscure fasteners that are impractical to duplicate locally.

People who complain about how they are "running out of sand" are pretty much the same people who complain that we are "running out of machinists."

When you get somebody like this that is slipshod, it means they are thinking about something other than their work. Their guitar band, their hot rod, their video game strategies, their plans with the...

Thank you for providing a complete drawing. :Ithankyou:

What is the material?

In general, when making thin wall tubes like this, the usual approach is swaging, so you might want to contact a...

I am trying to replace some rusted out security screws that are designed to go into a plastic housing. The screws are about 12 TPI #10, but the shaft is canted. The profile of the screw looks...

Just for the record, I am copying the comments to text because web links always go bad eventually (aka please don't post links, post the data):
