Thanks for the responses all,

Well Barry it does look like I am going to do something, probably just on-line at first, then maybe a storefront. My original storefront plan fell through as the...

Many a moon ago I had a 1982 RX-7... as Javadog claimed right at 98,000 miles the engine would overheat. The problem was that the inner seals that divide the combustions chamber slowly wear away at...

Thanks for the reply bcromwell. I think the plan is to go out a little past Lawrenceville on 316 (maybe by the Lawrencewille airport?). It will definitely be somewhere on the NE side of the city,...

That is a good idea, however I am not looking to unload my extras... I may NEED them (ok... I am a packrat)! I actually have an opportunity to sell surplus to the public from broken down large lots...

I have been hobbying with electronics for some time now and mostly I buy my components off of the 'net. In the Atlanta metro area, I only know of 2 decent places to by components. Neither are open...

I have been wondering what to do about the spindle... I am just delaying the inevitable decision that must be made. You are absolutely right though, there are no real good options out there unless...

Could be heat, could be over current. Without the schematic, it is hard to tell what really happened. Here are some questions troubleshooting ideas that I would start with:

Did it ever work...

That is some nice work Eric. Thanks for the replies and the pictures. Was the 10-1/2 tap very expensive? Just curious, as I said, I already got the delrin nuts from you, so I don't particularly...

I assume that you are talking about a delrin slide for the rails here. If so, how is that mounted in the aluminum blocks? The aluminum blocks look solid from the underside. Is it hogged out on...

Actually WidgitMaster has a pretty darn good idea. There are many new and old sewing machine tables that have an elevator that drops the machine down into the cabinet when not in use. The older...

Well said. There was no hesitation in ditching the fact that a smaller machine would works too. :cheers:

Both Willy and Nilly resent that statement.



I agree here, but no book can cover every caveat of every discipline within electronics. My original post said that you need supplimental...

That particular book has most of the stuff you will need for DIY electronics PERIOD. It is however a little hard to swallow without supplimentary material as it gets into the thick of things pretty...

I would wait to get a reply. I contacted him with a few noob questions to start and he was always very nice and respnded promptly... more than I can say for other vendors with similar products.

I...

I assume the you ordered these from eBay? If so, they are probably Widgitmaster's from here on the forum. I just ordered some Delrin nuts from him yesterday, and they shipped today. I think that...

That is why I like reading NCCams posts... cuts straight to the chase.

After working my whole career in the tech sectors, I have come to realize that something either is gonna work or it ain't. ...

I didn't mean to scare anyone away with the warnings, but safety it pretty important when dealing with larger supplies.



I agree with this statement under normal conditions, but there can be...

I agree with NC Cams. Get at least a little knowledge first, especially before messing with 10A supplies. It won't take long to learn what you need to know, and it is pretty fun to learn,...

Well I thought the mission with 1018 was pretty much over for now, but nope... I got some ACME 1/2 10 screws from Enco and they are C1018. (chair) BAH! Oh well, if DIY was easy, it probably...

I just got the screws in this afternoon. Finish on them looks fine, no burrs, dings, etc... very smooth. There is fome "flex" to them at 6 foot lenghts though, so maybe the others are more stiff? ...

Ooops, Al is right. I deleted my original post as I didn't read the whole post closely and thought you were just trying to get 1.2V from 12V @15ma. My bad.

mjarus.

Deleted.

I linked to some here... no pictures though (except on the site).

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I was just checking the order status and rembered... they also have Acetel (Delrin) for $4.32 1" round/1 foot. Onlinemetals.com for comparison runs $10.43

But... I must...

I dunno, they have not arrived yet, but I will report about quality when they do. One thing about McMaster... they will rip you a new one on price! I live near a distro center from them and still...

Sorry about that Tek, I misunderstood as well... (chair) .

I just noticed that you said 39.95 for the rod... that is pretty high! I got 4 pcs of 24" for 24 bucks. What I got is listed as 1045 ground shafting. I cannot gurantee it is the EXACT same thing,...

Joe,

Never saw that thread as I am trying to do this "from scratch" so to speak... not copy any existing design in whole. I take some of the mechanical ideas from things I see, but I don't look...
