Why do it this way?

Post by db5 »

I recently viewed on "Chip's Wood Shop" a video on using a shopsmith to tap threads. Great idea. But why, unless I already had it, do I need an adapter for a SS router bit when I already have one of these? And so do you. No set up required.

Sanding disk works fine also. Just remember that you left it up there.

I second a sanding disk. That's what I used when I threaded a bunch of 80/20 aluminum extrusion used in building my first CNC.

Nix on the crescent wrench(if it slips it may mar the shaft). :(

Sanding disk will work fine BTDT. :cool:

Leaving wrench is worse than leaving the chuck key attached!!!! :eek:

Well then, no more bright ideas for you! Unless (until) I get another one. Spanner is out, Disk is in.
