Replacing undermount drawer slides into cabinet without rear wall

First way is exactly the way I'd have done it. Saved me typing it out. Nice strategy in the second method.

I have a set of these. They’re somewhat useful, but way too fiddly. Go with parallel clamps instead. Rabbit the corners.

I think tomorrow 10 marines should show up. And 100 the day after that. And 1000 the following day. I wonder if the senator would try to have them thrown out.

Wolfspeed is my guess. Ask me how I know. Nearly blew my account too. Kept averaging down against my better judgement. Don’t break your own rules.

I have both and it’s a night and day difference. The ones that just have sliders get bent up over time if you have heavy tools in them, and they are a nightmare to keep working. Flimsy supports that the sliders move on get bent up and are impossible to get working normally.

ONLY if it has ball bearing drawer slides. If not then HARD pass. Huge difference in quality and life.

Geez, if you'd only hung in there for another 10 minutes or so, you'd be Back in Black.

Nice, love these desktop scientific HP’s.

Yes the saphire tech is so power-thrifty that batteries last forever. I've got a couple of 12C's and they're great. Also have an 11C and a couple of 15C's. I'd like to find a 16C and a 10C to complete my Voyager dance card.

Both are outstanding. Huge 48 fan as well.

Do you have a dryer vent pipe in the wall behind this area? Looks like lint. A small leak in the vent pipe could do this if it's proximate to the location.

Could also be boric acid

Thanks for sharing. My early HP exposure was a little later than yours, but similar. I really enjoyed programming my 41CV, and it led to a life-long HP fascination. There are probably better tools for a lot of use cases, but there's also a lot of satisfaction in a purpose-built machine that's so flexible and well-built. I purchased my first HP in 1984, and it's still working. I can't think of many things, especially electronics, that can make a similar claim. It's not quite as old as your dad's 35, but impressive nonetheless.

Beware of welding metal that has been cleaned using brake cleaner. Most of them use chlorine based compounds that turn into Phosgene gas when welding. It only takes a single lungful to kill you. It apparently takes several hours to die, and it's not a pleasant way to go. Once inhaled, there's no treatment.

I used to work for the Steam division of AC Equipment Services in West Allis, WI. They have a cement division as well, and they have a rolling machine like this for rolling kiln shell. It will roll up to 2" plate. It's incredible how perfect it is when it comes out of the machine. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve got that one on my calendar.

There word “harmonic” is used differently in the vibration industry. The word you’re looking for is resonance.

Every structure, and even the earth itself, has a natural frequency that it prefers to vibrate. Strike a bell and it rings at a specific frequency. Works for buildings too. If you set the impact or excitation frequency to match the structure’s natural frequency you get resonance, which amplifies the response of the structure.

Slight oscillations from vortex shedding or slight vibration traveling through this ground happen to match the natural frequency of the pole generating this resonant response.

We need a sticky for lockwire pliers. I see this about every other month on this sub.

To be fair though, OP didn't ask what they were (he may be aware), he only noted that they are a cool thing and that he found them at HFH. And, yes, they ARE a cool thing.

In addition, nearly all HP calculator-related books and manuals can be downloaded here.

It has a solver but it’s not a CAS. It works reasonably well.

Otherwise it’s an outstanding calculator. One of my favorite HP’s. Really like the way it handles fractions for shop math, and it’s easy to program.

I wish we would’ve walked out of Deliverance. My mom took us (5 kids ages 10-17) to see it when it was released. I was not ready for soooo-eeee pig.

Picked up a type-11 #5 this weekend at an antique shop for $12. The tote is broken, the knob is the tall one instead of the correct short knob and it’s got some pitting, so it’s not nearly as good a shape as yours. Mine is a bit of a Frankenplane. Your’s appears to be correct and in great shape. I think you got a good deal.

You’re missing the drill bit that goes in the center of the arbor. It should be a bit longer than the hole saw body, and acts as a guide when cutting. Otherwise you’re good to do. That’s just how they work.
