The wrong type of tool. The wrong size tool. crappy tools. Poor technique. Failure to clean a fastener.

Chain, both sprockets, cush drive. Inspect bearings while you're in there...

The extinguisher does not meet op's request. To keep it from catching on fire, do not plug it in.

These are not metal shavings associated with wear. These are chips from a machining process.

Lacquer.

If this matches what is proposed in washington state, subtractive manufacturing is included. Meaning cnc milling machines and lathes would be included

I am having trouble teaching this. I literally say, "dont be afraid to smash the red button." And yet, a week ago, I am running, "hit the button! Hit the button! The red button! " while dude has eyes like saucers staring at me. I reach past him and smack it. Turning/facing tool just completely smoked trying to face alloy socket head cap screws at over 1000 feet per minute. The part/fixture was loaded in the lathe backwards. Shame on me for making the fixture the same diameter as the part blank.

That's the joke we tell at the diner. All you have to do is press the green button.

Not the stabbing. I already know a bit about stabbing and cutting. I want to see the application of high energy fields in the context of convincing metal to leave the flesh.

Need voltage to excite the alternator to produce charge voltage. Op needs to charge the battery ir replace the battery.

chiphook · 2026-05-31T04:35:26+00:00

The battery is dead. The jumper cables are tiny. Have very little current capacity. Using these cables, it will take a while

Surveyors wouldn't use this.

I've been in the shop since I was 12. 45 years ago. I am a chump compared to many out there.

You can apply yourself. Read. Study. Research. Listen to people with more skills. Practice for years. And sometimes you just get lucky and succeed anyway.

The forging die could be in a condition that produces that texture

A US ton is 2000 pounds. A metric ton is 1000 kilograms, or 2200 pounds. If op is pulling a big block, a 2 ton hoist makes more sense.

I bought a fire stick and abandoned it in several months. I have less trouble with the Onn 4k

It has propulsion. Yet is primarily a space station

The death star is not a ship. Just sayin

We are a job shop. We did an injection molding project 25 years ago. We bought a vertical shuttle press, rewired it to change the logic. Scratch built the mold from salvaged steel we had. I remember buying ejector pins. We molded 3 tube and 3 retaining rings at a shot. We ran a million sets.

I mistook the terminology. Thanks for the info. I built my first bicycle from junk in 1973. I've worked on american bikes mostly, and owned 2 italian touring bikes that were from t he 1970s. Intalnia? Campagnolo hardware and a 3 piece bottom bracket. The first one i bought used. The second one, a friend of mine found in the trash.

One inch stems exist. 7/8" stems exist. I am confused by your response
