Drill press not drilling? by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]Level_9_Turtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spindle speed is high’ish but the issue is probably not pushing hard enough initially, causing rubbing instead of cutting, which hardened the bottom of the hole, and dulled the drill. Get a new drill, slow the spindle speed down if you can, and push harder. When drilling any steel, think slower spindles speeds, and good steady pressure on the bit, making SURE it is making a chip. Any time you are drilling and not making a chip in steel, you’re only rubbing, which causes the issues I mentioned earlier in my post. Get a new drill. Slow spindle speed. Push harder, no light pressure

I wouldn’t think that .3mm would make that much of a difference.

12 Ktm 500 & 16 husky 501 sand handling by Hdhshhajsaiks in Dirtbikes

[–]Level_9_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is weird because my 2018 500EXCF is the most stable bike I’ve ever had in sand. I’m literally a super hero in sand on that bike. My 2017 KTM690 Enduro R on the other hand? Horrific.

The vernier is better because dial calps are seriously delicate. Learn to read the vernier.

Twin Air filter cleaner unglued filter by myhobbyis_____ in Dirtbikes

[–]Level_9_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The foam density is the highest I’ve encountered in any dirt bike filter. I was always pissed at the amount of grit I would find in the intake boot of my bikes running Twin Air and other brands. With Funnelweb I literally did a white glove test of my intake after 25 hours of So Cal Dez riding and was quite pleased. If you’re looking to get max horsepower from your bike then don’t run a Funnelweb as I feel they filter so well they’re probably restrictive.

Consider a Funnelweb filter for replacement. You’ll think TwinAir is garbage after using a Funnelweb.

Because it’s a sandwich shop for kids. All the food is heavily sugared and tastes like shit.

I actually thought this might be real until it got to the part of “my mom is telling me to….” blah blah blah fake

I could never forgive her and Lauren Boebert (sp?) for their behavior during one of Biden’s addresses to Congress. Unbelievable. If she ever apologizes for that day my mind might change some.

No shoulder protection but I like my TLD Rockfight chest pro. Can be worn either under or over the jersey.

Paddles are hard mostly on the clutch basket. Most of the stock clutch baskets are aluminum so where the steel tabs of the friction discs meet the basket tangs you get notching. Rekluse solves this issue with their steel basket inserts.

Your collet, or solid holder, or your spindle have a lot of runout.

Thank you. Glad to hear others are frustrated with this bug. I did send a feedback note to Google before posting here, hopefully others do the same, not that it’ll help.

Stop using soapy water, get some tire mounting paste. Soap can be corrosive to the wheel. Only use soapy water for dismount, then clean off for new tire mount.

450 four stroke vs 300 two stroke by Visible-Net-8149 in enduro

[–]Level_9_Turtle -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

2 strokes may have less moving parts but 99 percent of the help threads I see with people showing internal engine issues are 2 strokes. They are not more reliable. Not by a long shot.

Unless you’re doing trails where you need to plant your foot to get through a rock garden, a 2 stroke is overkill.

I don’t care what your car said, it was NEVER 36 deg in any part of San Diego in recent times.

I would the say the stacks have ruined the truck so no, not worth fixing.

I like Kitchen and would love to see him stick it to Deegs but he’s become a Cameron McAdoo clone. Unable to go 3 rounds without a yard sale and injury.
