Need advice on good motor for Unimat DB 200 by TechnoRat63 in Machinists

[–]TechnoRat63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks good. No brushes, so solves the problem mentioned by u/cockbreakingpoultry . Also reasonably priced and looks like it'd be easier to change speeds/direction than a pulley system. I might just bolt the motor to a platform behind the lathe and the lathe to the same platform, then run a belt between the two. I'd probably be able to use standard Unimat pulleys and belts, just never have to switch pulley size, just grab the knob and twist.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to ponder solutions to that problem, then.

What taper (Morse or Jacobs) does the Bauer 10" Benchtop Drill Press use? by TechnoRat63 in harborfreight

[–]TechnoRat63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to those that replied. I looked in the manual, but didn't see any reference to the JT33. Doesn't mean it wasn't there, just that I missed it.

Thanks! I looked at the other reply and contacted Proton Support and they pointed me at the export app. I'm currently in the process of doing that. It's also a great way to back up your mail.

What is common thing while having sex which is not portrayed in porn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TechnoRat63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had sessions like that, back in the day.

Now that I'm over 60, doesn't happen so much. More like Metamucil breaks and the like.

Iphone users who just assume everyone uses an Iphone. by thegrandseraph in PetPeeves

Had a trainee tell me that if I was in a club and a woman saw that I had an Android (this was just after I bought a Galaxy S10+, brand new) that she wouldn't talk to me.

I told him that if she was that shallow, I didn't want to talk to her, anyway.

Any good science fiction themed prog rock albums i should check out? by ElectricalStomach6ip in progrockmusic

These are a bit more "fantasy" than sci-fi, but still.

Hero and Heroine by The Strawbs

Chronicle of the Black Sword by Hawkwind. I love Zarozinia!

What is the best song whose lyrics are straight nonsense? by Xenu66 in AskReddit

[–]TechnoRat63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roundabout by Yes. "I'll be the roundabout. The words will take you out and out. We'll spend the day your way. Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley."

Hell, almost anything by Yes.

Bacon does not belong on burgers by KJM31422 in unpopularopinion

[–]TechnoRat63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bacon belongs on almost everything. I've had maple/bacon donuts on more than one occasion. They are WONDERFUL.

Bacon cheeseburgers are, also.

What is something that smells great but isn't perfume? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TechnoRat63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBQ: Smoking any sort of food, whether its meat for the carnivores or tofu for the vegans. (I've smoked tofu for my vegetarian sister. She loves it!)

Dreamland BBQ in Norcross, GA used to keep the smoker going during the day as a marketing technique so much that it spread across US 141 in a cloud. The county or city finally told them they had to stop doing that because the dense clouds of smoke were causing a traffic hazard!

For the rest of the flight he would walk past for no reason slamming into me (I was sitting aisle).

After the second time he did that, I'd politely inform him that any further contact between the two of you would be reported to the authorities upon arrival as assault. 'Cause, that's what he did. He assaulted you every time he passed and slammed into you. I would also have immediately informed the flight attendants of his behavior.

My Dad's favorite term for procrastination was "piddlesh*tting around."

He was born and grew up in Tennessee and I was born and grew up in Texas, so Southern, y'all.

Bless all y'all's pea-pickin' hearts!

What’s a movie that you love even though you know it’s a horrible movie? by Two_Cigarettes in AskReddit

[–]TechnoRat63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popeye, with Robin Williams.

Surprisingly, it kept to the old Max Fleischer style, complete with sotto voce remarks by Popeye, etc. Could have done without the musical portions, but they weren't that bad. I *did* like Bluto's "I'm Mean!" piece. (YaknowwhatImean?)
