Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I have had good luck with that method using the impact wrench.

By hand I break them to easy. If the small induction heaters were around years ago many fires might have been avoided .

 

Just got a call from the CMP verifying my card number. Looks like ill have some M1 Garands headed my way shortly!

 

My Own Damn Fault!!!!!
I have two separate 1/4" endmills setup and was being lazy. Instead of creating another tool in my machine I was just changing the offsets when needed. Welp, forgot to change them this time!!!!! 1/4" 4 flute coated carbide with less then an hour of machine time on it!

 

Was …

 

Oops...

On the bright side, you've invented a new tool... the four-flute tapered end-mill! (It's all in how you sell it, right? Just like getting Tacoma upgrades approved by SWMBO).

 

Right!!! LOL

 

Have that same end mill in 3/16”

 

I wonder who ya'll could get carbide end mills from that's cheaper than MSC...

 

I’m not sure how the prices compare with MCS, but I just placed an order with Onlinecarbide.com per recommendations from some people in my Tormach Facebook group. Cheap threadmills. I can report back later to how they hold up. If I don’t destroy them all. Lol.

 

I know you work for Fastenal but we don't order anything from MSC. We get most of our end mills from Southeastern Tool in Thomasville, N.C.

 

Double like






Who the heck scraps a compact backhoe/loader??? As a broken project that is $1500+ here...

BTW, I'm .

 

M7

Spoiler: Who has an M7 tap?

 

I tried that too, more so I was thinking "Well shit, maybe I'm going the wrong way" When it didn't budge still, I traced the threads with my calibrated eyeball and verified I had indeed been trying the right direction, so I avoided any further tightening.

 

Who is the manufacturer on those EMs?

MSC is quite popular up here for EMs.

 

We used to use MSC for a lot of stuff then their shipping got too high.

 

You been diggin' in the scrap pile at my work? Might even be the same company as they have a hub near you. We have a local company make new shafts if the ones from the OE company is too much money. They also rebuild our 480V motors.

 

This is for a large shipping company nearby

 

I have a smaller air 1/2" stubby impact from Harbor Freight. It gets 95% of all my stuff loose. If not, I have a Snap-On that can quickly make it a snap off!

Its saved my butt several times...





Only paid $100 for it. Little rough shape, but it works great!

 

Bwahahah, yup, pretty sure that's it.

 

Not sure. I'll let you know when I get them in!. But for the price I was about to pay for single form thread mills from Harvey or Lakeshore, this is a steal!!!
