This is exactly what I am thinking. If you say its really a grand overall than I accept that. Maybe I should get 1 kit and branch off as needed in the future.

I am a snowboarder and naturally I looked into snowmaking. One of the big issues with the compressed air lines is condensation. They use much bigger lines to prevent them from freezing.

The thing about Copper is it still gets stolen quite often. As a low wage manufacturer in a small town we happen to have quite a few junkies around. Also the most bars/liquor stores per capita in the...

Great idea! I will look into this.

Most of my bad experiences are from the construction trades. Flimsy hoses, always breaking. I know its not the same situation I am in at the moment but some things just leave a bad taste in your...

I guess I never looked at the air driers by themselves. I think I have always seen them with the full compressor setup and were expensive. The ones I just looked at on ebay are like 500-800 bucks....

I am doing some much needed maintenance on the shop and one of the things I want to do is get the shop air lines replaced. The cold has been making the spooled up lines brittle and just twisting them...

I did not know about the slot at first. This probably is already work hardened on the head. Tool wear will be significant. All it takes is 1 cut with a dull drill to ruin things.

A lot of good responses here. I like the idea of putting a nut over the threads to prevent them from bulging out.

The problem with previously worked stainless parts is you wont know where it was...

I never liked using cards for anything. Always cash. Its easier to remember what I bought and how much I have, when I can just reach in my pocket and count my money.

I have been slowly getting...

I got into roll threading last year on a 316 job. 5-40 TiCN form taps from OSG or Ghuring. Go for the expensive ones, they are worth it.

Niagara Lassalle (NL).

I made a mistake on the location. it is Hammond, Indiana. I know its in the rust belt / I80 corridor. Ive driven through before and stopped at Krazy Kaplan's Fireworks in...

I had a talk with Niagara Lassalle last year about ordering minimums on Stressproof and some 1215. I was givin a run around a few times but was quoted 3000Lb minimums. They made a mistake and it was...

If the threads were something more standard this would be a good part for my machines.

How did the pandemic change anything at all? I have been in business for 30 years and I can still get any tools or any materials I need. Always have been and always will be able to.

I have a sales rep in Waterbury and he knows almost all the manufacturers in the state. Aerospace gets high dollar work so they avoid the lower cost products and stick to high dollar only. This sucks...
