You have to be persistant with these guys. Are you calling the 800 number? It is 1-800-653-1930. They keep it hooked up to a fax machine and don't always answer. The most recent time,...

Two simple solutions:
Build a stand that is lower than a standard work bench or buy something like a bar stool so you can sit higher.
I do a little of each. My bench is an old desk i...
I just looked at that same manual and it says the HF thread is 3/4"x 10tpi. I have never seen a lathe that has a 3/4x12 thread. You can buy an adaptet and a screwon mandel from PSI to solve your...
Sorry to disappoint; but there isn't a lot to tell. I'm a science junkie by pre-disposition and education.....BA Geology. I have a modest little telescope that I purchased used on eBay a couple of...
ASTRONOMERS ASK FOR PUBLIC HELP WITH PROJECT
Classify galaxies as being CW spiral, CCW spiral, or no spiral pattern at all. There are millions of galaxies to classify and the public (world wide)...
Jason: I gave that alternative some serious thought; but ultimately decided it was not the best solution for an 82 year old great grandmother.
My thanks to everyone for their comments and...
My next door neighbor is an 82 year old widow who still likes to do her own yard work. Recently her edger quit and a daughter bought her a new one. It has a larger engine than the old one and the...
I duct tape a piece of plastic soda straw to the side of the can. Fold it in half, first, and cut it to an appropriate length. Pull the duct tape tight enough so the straw is slightly collapsed. ...
Here is a followup to the original post for any who may be interested.
The original order was placed in the middle of March and I got involved in the middle of April. Steebar said the ordered...
Yeah. I forgot about that option. Would you be talking about jcollazo out of California?? I purchased a mandrel from him and it was just fine. Only problem is that he is making standard size...
It appears that the Lee Valley mandrel referred to, is just a standard "7mm" mandrel that is just under a 1/4" in diameter.
Not sure I understand why you need to do this; but the simplest...
I purchased a dust collector from them. It arrived very quickly and was in perfect condition.
One thing you should consider is that the compressor may be just fine and the problem is a defective fuse/breaker which might be only a $10 item. If they are still available, you might consider...
Nigel: I didn't realize you were in NZ when I wrote my response. I doubt that our free 800 numbers will work for international calls. If you would like me too, I can act as an intermediary for you...
I undertsand that part; but there was also the matter of the repair of the stripped threads and that was what I was inquiring about.
I am familiar with Fred's clamp nut. In fact, I was the one who...
The stuff is called Never-Seez and it is terrific product!!
You can learn a little about it here:

You should reasonably expect something around 0.003". If you can see it, it is too much. Set up a dial gauge on the OD of the spindle and check it first, then check the faceplate next. Checking...
What did they charge you to make that repair??
Hi Nigel:
I am just at the end of a month long struggle to get a problem resolved with an order I placed with them. I had a similar experience in that they never responded to any of my half...
HF has some great prices on digital calipers; but to the best of my knowledge, the don't have one that measurers in fractional inches.
I believe it was just for the caliper with no drawing.
I got a mailer for this tool.....a caliper that will measure in fractional inches to 1/64". Not sure I have ever seen one advertised before and thought some might be interested.
...
You can probably get a ballpark figure from this type of poll; but ceiling color, wall color, ceiling height and bulb type will affect the final result. Also existing windows will make a difference....
Does this sound weird to anyone?? Those staples...at least the ones I've seen...are very tiny and shouldn't do much if any damage to a saw tooth??
If you have been holding off on the Beall buffing system because of cost, there are several DIY alternatives that are very inexpensive.
The one I use is based on a standard 9" paint roller....
