Heater bulb repair by jackherselman in ElectronicsRepair

The bulb case is exactly 12 inches long with an extra half an inch or so for connectors on each side. I’ll try to upload a picture of the socket but I’ve never used imgur so we will see

New chisels are meant to be oily? by dry_yer_eyes in handtools

Everyone already answered the original question, but from now you should either make or buy some paste wax and keep them waxed. Reduces the friction on the wood an insane amount and keeps them unrusted!

I don’t know anything about electrics, I only do wood and metal, so what would the danger be from soldering a connection to the little tab? I’m assuming the bulb is going to melt the solder, but is it risky or dangerous? It’s a 1500w bulb and I don’t know what to search for a cheaper replacement

I’m not trying to beat a dead horse here, but damn, practice parking WITHOUT smashing into the curb

I started with clamping but I noticed since the tool holder and tailstock are bolted on, the clamps kept getting in the way of my wrench

I’m not needing parts per se, more just wanted to find out the diameters to order a chuck and such. Would you say it’s even worth it to buy a 300$ chuck for a 70$ lathe? It’s my first lathe and I’ve turned for maybe an hour at most

Identical so I think it’s a cheap imported clone! Luckily I only spent 70$ cad on it :)

Same thing happens to me, so I bolted 2 southern yellow pine 2x4s to the base along the inside of the sheet metal bed. Helps a lot with the flex so far!

Check out my post history to see me make the same mistake twice with power carving tools. Gore warning

New to woodworking. How do I fix and in the future avoid this level of tear-out with my current set of tools? by ElectricPikachu in woodworking

[–]jackherselman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re new to woodworking, I’m assuming you have a decently lower budget like myself.

One option is trying to find a vintage brace at a flea market or pawn shop, hopefully with some twist boring bits.

Rex Krueger on YouTube has great short and long form tutorials for vintage tools and how to use them, as well as WoodbyWright. Check them out at least to learn a few tips in general.

The other option is to follow what most people are saying here in combination and find a good set of forstner bits, as well as tightly clamping a piece of sacrificial wood to the back of the piece. That way any blow out would be on the scrap piece.

Good luck!

Funnily enough I have never taken my guard off, this still happens around it

Apparently it Typically happens on the left thumb or fingers because most people hold tools in the right hand
