OK, now I'm officially hungry! On topic though, I didn't know they made a serrated utility knife blade. What uses do you find for it? Sometimes, I'll use an electric bread knife to cut styrofoam. But, it would probably tear the foil, too. The basics: observe the cutting of a slice of hard-crusted b...

kForrest I'm thinking I'll tinker with this one to see if I can get it square. How hard could it be.[/quote] Somewhere in recent months one of the home Machinist magazines had an article about improving these squares. A key part was using a hardened screw in the part that tightens against the rule,...

How many of you have been to the Arizona Memorial? I have! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Island steve Funny, I've never been On it, but I've seen it hundreds of times. It is quite visible (and unmistakable!) from many vantage points on that side. If I get it right into my direct range of vision...

My guess is that the back side of the spurs did not 'dig', but cut the gasket material anyway. Then there is the possibility that that they were brad point or auger bits.:rolleyes: I use a punch if holes are small enough. Oops, almost missed this un. 1. Your guess is a good one. 2.

Nothing amazing here, just a comment on a 'new' use (for me) for the PP in drill Press mode and using Reverse rotation. I had to make a gasket for my old motorcycle and it had to be accurate. I decided to use the "Part" as a template and drill the bolt clearance holes on the D-P. First pro...

I think the membership might be very interested in how you made and confirmed quill advance adjustments that accurately. I don't doubt that it can be done but I consider it sorta like using an axe!:rolleyes::):) So, as coincidence has it the next thing I needed to do on the SS involved Quill Feed. ...

I think the membership might be very interested in how you made and confirmed quill advance adjustments that accurately. I don't doubt that it can be done but I consider it sorta like using and axe!:rolleyes::):) I had the same "axe" impression. Then one day I was using the Incra position...

How are they 'disposing' of remains in Liberia???

I heard they are shipping them in large paper bags to some site in Kentucky...
