Can all mitre saws take abrasive metal cut off blades? I have only really seen them on the drop saw type, as in the ones you cant adjust for angle. On that note, can your average hand held circular saw take metal cut offs?

They're also known as 'Floggers' in Australia and the UK anyway. Really common in the marine world, ships and platforms. That said, I have never really seen many that small nor have I ever seen them double-hex.

oxbrain posted:Speed chart. Good starting point for speeds, I'd run even slower than what they recommend. Another quick way to determine an appropriate drill speed is the '100/100 Rule', which basically breaks down to: A 100mm bit should be spun at 100 rpm. So if you half the drill size double the speed etc. So a 10mm drill is ~1000rpm. This is for steel. Obviously its for those of us who stick to metric only, but it was always used as a guideline when we were taught fitting/machining in Australia.

Raw_Beef posted:Any opinions on 3/4dr impact guns? I need a high torque pro one but dont want to owe snap on my soul. Hoping to find that pawn shop gold but i need to know what models are cool. Our Bahco ones have proved reliable, which is a big statement on a ship. They cop a lot of abuse and wet air and need nothing but a squirt of oil before use.

thebigcow posted:Any suggestions on battery operated grease guns? I'm looking to get something fairly heavy duty for my dad to use on the farm. We have a hand pump John Deere gun that's nice but he's getting old and I think its too much work for him when he needs to do an entire machine at once (or anything at all considering the number of bearings I've had to replace this past year). Alemite is the only real answer, most of the other brands are copies/clones anyway so get the original.

Canadian Tire, but if the price is right I'd consider ordering online. I don't plan on doing any huge project - just a motorcycle fairing or three.

Krakkles posted:Are there good covering sleeves for huge breaker bars? I'd go to a fishing shop and get a rod cover, one that suits a small two piece or telescopic rod will probably fit. Or go to a canvas sewing place they could probably knock something up for a six-pack.

EKDS5k posted:Does anyone know of a good tool for removing insulation from multiple wire cables, without damaging the insulation on the individual wires inside? I fix a lot of extension cords and charging cables (and the occasional 7-wire trailer harness), and my current strategy of being reeeeaally careful with a utility knife just isn't doing it for me anymore. Wouldn't basically any wire stripper do this? i.e The 'T-Rex' style ones.

MRC48B posted:- Don't put anti-seize on your lug threads. Torque ratings are for clean, dry threads. The product literature will generally mention how much to modify your torque figures for equivalent stretch. 20% less torque is pretty common.

Powershift posted:Well, it didn't fuckin work. Yeah that's gently caress all air, even at 14bar. Hence why they charge those things to 300ish bar. You could try making a little venturi tip to get a little more volume.

literally a fish posted:I'm a big fan of Iroda's Solderpro series of butane powered soldering irons. I'm yet to have it gum up from butane impurities (which is disappointingly common with the Wellers) and it works pretty well. I have the 120, but I don't see why the lower models wouldn't be just as good for occasional use. I've had the little Solderpro 50 for about 10 years and it's always worked fine. Probably worthwhile buying decent gas instead of shoestring market lighter refills.

Kafouille posted:I'm wondering about getting a cordless grinder and rigging up a 18v corded power supply, so I can choose, but I'm concerned about the duty cycle on the motor/electronics. You could probably buy twenty corded grinders for the cost of a power supply that'll much the current handling of a modern battery pack.

OSU_Matthew posted:Just had some fun with a stuck fastener that I eventually drilled out. It was a pan head hex, but it was too big for my Alden Grabits to get purchase and turned into a huge pain in the butt to try and drill and dremel out. At one point I got the bright idea I’d try a oscillating multi tool, and popped in a brand new $20 titanium bi metal cutting bit to shear off the head, but only chowdered the drat thing instead, so that really sucked. Combination of Kroil to loosen and tap magic to help cut the fastener didn’t seem to do much either. Some left hand drills in sensible sizes are always good to have on hand.
