Ageee Blondiehacks and Mrpete222 have some of the best intro to machining videos on YouTube. I'd also recommend finding a copy of either South Bend's How to run a lathe or Atlas / Craftsman Manual of

I have made my own soft face hammer faces to fit my “Dead Blow” hammers and they work great. When I was in Trade School back in the sixties I built an injection mold to produce these soft face

I think Fed ex is the worse of the carriers in the US.? They will never pay a claim, they will always blame the seller. They busted some really expensive marble veneer that I ordered for a miniature

The plant where I work has been using 3D printed parts as replacements for OEM parts that were unobtainium.? The parts were printed in carbon fiber filled nylon and the machine runs 24/7, 5 days a

Amazon lists the basic 2-3/4" table for $44.95, but with $29.89 shipping and delivery June 5-13. I could not find this rotary table on Harbor Freight.

Hello Andrei: I wouldn't rely on the foam. The motor and body are quite heavy and the motor mount is quite thin. It isn't hard to free the motor. Just take the motor pulley off, one screw, and then

Hi: I have one like this from Harbor Freight for $20: It looks fine, I think I used it once. This one on Amazon is $60. This one looks a bit more versatile at $40: The Velmex models are more for

That is great information. I was relying on FedEx to do their magic foam-in-place packaging which is great. When I purchased a telescope, the seller had FedEx package it and I could not believe how
