Collars save $100 for those without machinery.

Threads save hours of headaches fiddling with misbehaving toys. No?

Every other one was a waste of perfectly good steel, his slightly less.

Threaded shaft added $100 to the machine.

I didn't put the 1/4-20 female on the end for the polisher.

Making a flat lap for that. Using carpet and cerium oxide like bobby1

If you can. Ace hardware carries odd size items, are they in California?

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
