Get a Tenryu brand saw blade made for aluminum and cut the stock standing on edge. Saw will bog down if you try to cut it flat. Their blades are fairly thin and use less power to cut.

Switzerland is one of our favorite countries to visit. We flew into Frankfurt, 2 hours to a hotel for a nap and left the next morning for Lauterbrunnen in the Alps for 4 nights, Italy 4 nights, back...

I don't know that GoPro model. But after having several of them I switched to a Garmin Virb Ultra 30. Very easy to learn and has touch screen, understands verbal commands, pretty sure you can control...

Vac lifter lifting from cart. That cart can easily hold 60 sheets of 4x10 by 16 gauge, and more.

Total PITA but working for now. Next few months the lifter will be done over to work from the...

Persistence is your friend here. Or as my FIL used to say "even a blind pig occasionally finds an acorn". At some point you will find something. While waiting you can look around some scrap yards for...

Nicely done. Prob makes the sound more uniform too.

Paint Ball gun in a shop is only good for discipline. Give an employee a serious warning? Paint ball shot. Later that day if they do it again you can easily see the paint splat that you warned them...

Are you really that cheap? Buy an aluminum body venturi from McMaster and mill the top half off. You will be able to see exactly what the inside looks like. There are a whole lot of things that make...

You are in a different world. Shipping a "lot"? 2 parcels is twice as many as 1 parcel? Define a "lot". Some days we load the truck. We prefer shipping volume on pallets but sometimes gotta go brown....

Fiber laser wavelength is supposed to be fully absorbed by metal. That is why it works well on the mirror finish sheets they were cutting. I have easily cut mirror finished copper with my 1000 watt...

Each pod has its own vacuum generator and all are connected to a single valve. It does consume air continuously. This is important as ALL vacuum cups leak, more so with age. Other thing is that they...

Somehow I think that is a bad habit to get into. Like both hands reaching through to adjust a back gauge with power on.

I need to find that on my Worldship screen. Now they can bust up my stuff at a cheaper price.

Were those vids shot before the show opened? I wanted to go, but the interest was not strong enough.

Many "pre owned" to choose from if you are hitting a marked line to bottom bend. Punches and die selection will be a big $ factor. Dies more so. Employees and employee protection need to be factored...

I'm with the people who suggest several helpers. If the space is very tight there could be a possibility of a hand crunch happening. It would be a bitch to get your hand crunched against a door frame...

Running any plastic with coolant on a machine where I also ran metal was just a PITA. All plastic has been run dry for the last 18 years. But I have machines for plastic only, and metal only. So no...

Phenolic sheet is not to hard to find. Just drop a chunk on your CNC router and have at it. OK, may not have a CNC router. Get thinner phenolic sheet and do it. I need to make a small router table...

I made a small air flat coil of .125 ID plastic hose and zip tied it to a metal frame. Coil had pin holes in it. Sunk in the bottom of a open barrel of old coolant to evaporate the water content....

Blaser coolant in my VMC is 17 years old? Machine gets used maybe once a month. Sometimes it gets a tiny smell that goes away after a few hours. I add water and fresh coolant with every use. Lathe 16...

Yup, not a job for an automatic transfer switch. Unless it is mandatory for all employees to drive a Tesla and all have their own charging setup at the plant and all are wired to backfeed the...

Maybe that answer applies to the OP? People who make parts need to keep spindles running. I make PRODUCTS, big difference. I made some parts for a customer a very long time ago. Once. It was like...

I have a lot of their tools. Joker wrenches are no joke and some of their socket sets have a ball detent to hold onto a nut or bolt (metric only). Yeah, stainless holds too.
KC Tool has many sets on...

Sigh. I have tons of excess machine time. Do not care. Trying to use it up would give me a PITA. But I feel so much better ignoring it. I don't call it excess. I call it redundancy.
