For any standard English (US, not Whitworth) or metric vee thread the tool's angle should be 60 degrees as viewed from the top AND it should have a radius or flat at the tip that is determined by the...

I suspect the radio stations pay a fee to be included. Then they up-link their audio to a satellite which sends it to a central location where it is converted to streaming audio and sent to the...

I have done 0-80 with no problems. I did it by hand, using a pin vise for a tap handle. I don't think power tapping that size is a good idea unless you have a head that was specifically made for such...

Thank you for that explanation. I had not dug into the subject that deeply, but what you say makes a lot of sense in the light of my personal observation. I never imagined that there was that much...

Well, in the face of all that, all I can say is

GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE STUPID SPLIT SLEEVE.

And I, for one, will say no more on this. It has been talked to death.

Well, the Suncos that I bought are rated at 2000 L per tube. They replaced a mixture of T12s that probably ranged from 1400 L to 2000 L when new but were at various ages. And the fluorescents did...

A dovetail cutter? A DOVETAIL CUTTER! He wants to use a dovetail cutter.

A 6mm, 60 degree dovetail cutter.

So you are cutting a dovetail? Or some other 60 degree feature. I could be wrong and...

Show you? Well, come on over and I will. Actually, if you look at the photo I posted above, there they are. The sun glasses may have been a joke, but those 12, 4' LED tubes went into the same sockets...

I am using the 4 foot, LED tubes, Sunco brand from the web. I have 5000K on all new bulbs in the shop because I want to take photos and videos there and don't want a mixture of color temperatures....

I can see you will get along just great here.

Welcome to the nut house!

OK, you DO know that they make metric sized end mills with English sized shanks, don't you?

Here is just SOME of what's available from only ONE supplier.

Your post and drawing both show a gear with an 18mm outer diameter and 40 teeth. If (and I did say IF) your gear has standard form teeth and not stub sized teeth, which are smaller, then we can add 2...

Any chance he meant "you are" or "you're" instead of "your" which is the possessive of the word "you" and not a contraction. If you are going to dispense legal advise you really should get the...

A contract between you and a customer is fine, but there are billions of THIRD PARTIES out there in the world and they have no part in that contract.

If you really believe that some Chinese company is going to honor that, I have some swamp land down in Florida .........

I also assumed you were trying to produce a PROFESSIONAL product. But I guess not.

He wants water tight. So how do you know when you reach that point? And how do you keep from going too far and weakening the cable?

This is supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL BB. We are not supposed...

Make a handle with a nice ball end and turn the other end down until it goes in. Then J-B Weld it in place.

It probably isn't worth the time to do more than that with it. Plan on getting a better...

I have screwdrivers that are over 50 years old and still going strong. Are present day ones as good? I don't know. Some screwdrivers are prone to wear. Phillips tip ones are one example, probably due...

I had a rather large $ value sale on E-bay this past week. I am in Beaumont, TX, in spitting distance from the Golf of Mexico. But the winter storm reached all the way down here and Beaumont was...

I am not going to comment on the safety glasses issue. They are eye savers. Period!

But I have to say something about wearing gloves: to me, gloves anywhere near a machine with a rotating spindle...

I could be wrong, but I suspect the OP has SQUARE tubing so a vee block may be unnecessary.

That one looks like the same general design as their 30", 3-in-1 sheet metal machine, which I have used. The 30" one was OK for light gauge work and the fingers were all pretty much the same size and...

"Circle division" does not necessarily mean the Euclidean method using compass and a straight edge. Another more practical method involves cutting a number of disks from a round rod of uniform...

OK, so I do not have a surface grinder and have not had the privilege and joy of ever having used one. But I have observed that many of the times that they are used, a fairly coarse wheel is used;...
