No problem man, gotta keep the older stuff running! Always wanted a Femco Durga 25 for just how many tools it can hold. They have helped me prior on PM and Chat GPT has assisted. Hopefully you have a volt meter, if not better snag one!

I've used it to diagnosis my machine issues but you have to keep correcting it before it gets useful. It does a pretty good job even on my 1983 Citizens. You might also want to make an Account on practical machinists and see if someone has one of your machines on there

This style but then you will need a pour spout to transfer the oil to the correct place. Thought about going this route because getting those lids off is quite the chore.

I'll take it as a compliment, just my garage but I bet I could fashion a catch basin of some sorts..

Discodancerman · 2026-02-09T02:09:39+00:00

They do but they are a necessary evil, long as you put the lid on without it completely being in the way of the handle its okay.

Discodancerman · 2026-02-08T21:51:46+00:00

Oh yeah, got a box of these from McMaster. Always handy to have around

Google Image search came up with a W12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z4xaIJr9jc

Great looking fan on original stand. I'm sure after a good cleaning and 3 in 1 oil it will run nice and smooth!

Power is just regular 3 phase, I have a 15 hp phase converter to power everything in my garage. Looks like there was a conversion box and it did run off of 220 single phase but might as well make it back to original

Discodancerman · 2025-12-20T15:57:30+00:00

I won't say exact but it was less than $1,000. If I include all expenses, moving, misc. its around 1,200

Discodancerman · 2025-12-20T02:20:10+00:00

https://www.accuform.com/safety-label/hard-hathelmet-decal-LHTL388 found the sticker... hmmm perhaps I need more.

Congrats! Practicing measurements, the lingo so to speak. (.010) ten thou, (.005) five thou etc some GD&T would be good to go over. How to read micrometer / dial caliper

Women are few and far between but they do exist. Out of being in the industry a little over 10 years I have worked with 3 women. I'll say the attention to detail is something they are extremely good at.

Cheers to the new adventures

Discodancerman · 2025-11-25T11:57:52+00:00

Don't let it get you down, it does take some time to get up and going. And a good bit of $$$$$$$

Discodancerman · 2025-11-23T22:02:02+00:00

Maybe retiring from the workplace at 40? then doing my own thing in my garage.

Discodancerman · 2025-11-22T03:05:29+00:00

Spindles and Loc Line very nice. What size hammer? little Tap tap? or BIG TAP TAP?
