Re: Remover for LMS MT2 QCTP holder 250-005
Tried that... they seemed a bit? flimsy for some of the mt2 arbors I had. I even mod'ed them to get rid of the thin section.

Another way is to use a faucet handle puller, which saves having another single use tool.

Re: "Jupiter 1" Cutting wheel in a pencil sharpener
Cerrosafe should be strong enough though I have never tried it like that. I
have used it making chamber casts in firearms. Depending on the

Re: "Jupiter 1" Cutting wheel in a pencil sharpener
Have you thought of using something like Cerrosafe to take a casting of the

Re: "Jupiter 1" Cutting wheel in a pencil sharpener
Hi Paul and other for feedback.
My Jupiter 1 pencil sharpener has only a cut edge on one side. I think another model has on both sides.

Re: "Jupiter 1" Cutting wheel in a pencil sharpener
