Like I say, once I get to where I know how I am going with it, I will be able to decide on modded parts.
Looks like I will have the job, by next week. Went for the interview and went to get my DOT certificate, (DOT - Department of Transportation- It's basically a physical, eye test and drug test, to clear a person for driving commercial vehicles in the USA), so next week should be orientation time. I will be a driver until I get certification as an armed guard and till I get my weapons permits. One permit for guard work and another for personal carry. Time to start thinking about a pistol. Hey, I can make my own, with the lathe and drill press, LOL. No, don't get me started down that path!!
Around here, unless you are going to fill a minimum 20 yard dumpster, they will not collect. You can take it to them and get a few cents, but other than that, they don’t mess with it here. I will be saving the stuff in cardboard boxes and just drop it off every so often. Hopefully, only once or twice a year. When Carrier left, they were filling huge dump truck sized dumpsters and the scrap yard was only paying a few dollars, for those full dumpsters.
speed changes are a bigger issue when you change work diameters or materials alot, otherwise you can get a good finish by playing with depth of cut and feed rate. Using thick wall tubing is a great way to go, it just depends if whatever design you have allows it. You can get import S&D sets for not alot of money or used ones off eBay - a touch up on the grinder and stone and they'll work just as well as the fancy ones.
I agree completely. I’ve never been part of such a helpful and generous “online” group of people. This was a great demonstration of why this community is such an honor to be a part of… a community that Old Lumens contributed greatly in building. Love it!
Thanks, knowing it was there somewhere made me actually read all the replies. Again, a non-video person here (no, not video problems. Work machine, no speakers)
There’s a great set of stills in post# 135 for us motion-picture-impaired, though.
Sweet. Its good to hear that when your machining its talking to you. Now to interpret what its saying.
My gears stick themselves together from the oil and grease between them and if I do have to remove them use a screw driver either side to carefully lever them of the shaft, keep in mind mine isn't a Grizzly.
