      I thought of that, but a secondary reaction with the NaOH is with cobalt forming: Co(OH)2 which is a really nasty substance, especially in solution. It is exceptionally problematic to dispose of as it is toxic to aquatic life and has a long half life. For humans it is toxic in almost every way - Class 4.

      That is true. My T handle ones all live in a custom shelf. Somehow I live with the plastic cases for the L wrenches - maybe because they are compact - but they do slightly annoy me every time I use them. But in all their years of use I’ve never wrecked one. Can’t say the same for the one Snap On set I wasted money on. Alas.

    Isn't the process for cyanoacrylates a hardening process started at a nucleation site rather than a drying process? Once it gets started, it just continues, albeit a bit slow in the absence of more nuceation sites. Hmm, feels like I'll be going down a rabbit hole on wikipedia one of these days...

    • @DudleyToolwright
      @DudleyToolwright 17 днів тому

      I was not aware that it was a nucleation mediated reaction. If so that is really interesting and the repercussions are significant.

  • @johnmatthewson6733
    @johnmatthewson6733 18 днів тому

    Moisture diffuses through ~0.1mm of polymer on the time scale of a few hours. In addition, when flexible polymers are stretched they do not stretch uniformly - microscopic channels open up between the polymer chains further increasing the rate of moisture diffusion. So stretching electrical tape will not be very effective as you find. Aluminum foil would help, but putting the glue in the freezer, as suggested in another comment, should be much better solution.

    • @DudleyToolwright
      @DudleyToolwright 17 днів тому

      Thanks for the technical perspective. I was not aware that water diffusion could happen so easily in stretchy polymers.

  • @johnmatthewson6733
    @johnmatthewson6733 18 днів тому

    Holes get bigger when a material is heated. Simple conceptual proof. Draw a circle on a plate of material. Does the circle get bigger or smaller? Bigger of course because the whole plate is expanding. Now remove the material inside the circle. The hole expands when heated. Further generalizing this idea, the holes inside a porous material have an effective expansion coefficient equal to that of the surrounding solid material.

    • @DudleyToolwright
      @DudleyToolwright 17 днів тому

      Thanks for the clarification. I was aware of the expansion caused shrinkage, but the real killer here is that with some plastics like PLA, the distortion is semi-permanent.

    In steels.. You can't get high hardness and still get good toughness. You can only get one or the other or somewhere in the middle/ a compromise of each. That's just how it is; they are a direct trade off. If the hardness was up in the 60's.. it would be brittle and snap off the tips easier. If you make them tough and flexible, then they can bend out of shape easier. It's just like a Katana, where you want the edge or tip to be hard, but the rest of the shank to be flexible. It's not an easy balance to get right. I bet your other Allens were on the harder side, which is why they twisted off the ball ends.. but if they make them too soft, then it will just round over and strip..

    Very nice to see the dogs. I used to make Martingale collars for my greyhounds using a heavy duty sewing machine on nylon webbing about 1-1/2 to 2” wide. Cutting the ends with a hot knife was enough to prevent fraying. I would think you might be able to do similarly with narrower material for leads to avoid having to double it back. BTW the hardware for leads (and sight hound collars) is readily available online.

    Use heat shrink on it

      Heat shrink is a great idea, especially the stuff with the adhesive that melts when you heat it inside.

    I wonder if you could get some strips of kevlar? That would slow the dogs down chewing leads in half.

      Not a bad idea, if I could find some Kevlar that was wide enough.

    Its a copy after a Hitachi jack hammer but the chinese made it even more powerful. Lately even Bosch got to steal the design for their newest, brushless jack hammers. Its extremely cheap but it worth every penny. A friend has one for about 10 years or so and used it to rral barbarian work and borrowed to all his friends. Only had to replace the brushes. Its a professional tool except it lacks the name brand.

    👍use a precision square off the table to the quill to get tram close then indicate. Saves a lot of time 🙂

    If the fixture needs to be trammed in, then maybe it is simpler to just tram the part. On most builds there is only one base plate but many plates can be trammed in the time it takes to remove / replace and retram the vise. I never remove my vise. In rare situations where I need to machine a long edge of a plate. I clamp a long piece of hollow section in my vise and G clamp the plate to it. This seems the quickest way, I don't have to remove the vise then put it back and re tram it in. I don't have to fish around for clamps and parallels, just put my trusty old piece of RHS in the vise and clamp the plate to it. If I need a backstop I clamp a couple of blocks between the fixed jaw and the RHS. For an endstop I may ream a hole in the RHS and fit a dowel. The RHS is sacrificial but lasts for years. On the odd occasion I may take a light skim off the top of the sacrificial box section but very rarely.

      Your idea is a fine one, but I often need to square up half a dozen pieces of tooling plate and indicating each one in would be a pain.

    Instead of lising the tram on the mill, you could use a sine plate or angle blocks on the vise.....

    I scratched my head about the T slot layout on my Taiwanese mill until I realized it was made for 12mm studs & metric T nuts. If you chk your layout w/ 12mm studs, not 12.7mm, (½ = 12.7), & 16mm for nut width, instead of 15.9mm, (0.625 = 15.9 mm), you might discover it's more symmetric than thought. I can't remember the dimension of metric T-nuts; I've got 2 metric T-bolts which came w/ the mill & a mixed Te-Co/? ½" (eBay) used set. I've been thinking about a fence as well, but I was considering a semi-perm mount on the back flange of the table; something I can placed a rotary table against, to the R of the vise. Still figurin', tho.

    • @DudleyToolwright

      I look forward to hearing about your approach. The Tee-Slots on this mill are all different, which makes it weird in any system of measurement. Hear about other's experiences, this seems to be a lot more common than one might think.

    Awesome work. This is one of those projects that I find it hard to believe more people haven't done. I made a simpler version, using a piece of 1" wide, 1/4" thick precision ground bar stock. Drilled 3 clearance holes for 3/8-16 fasteners... The outer 2 are for bolting it to the table, the middle for the clamp for the vise. I made 2 clamps, one 1/4" shorter than the other, which rests on top of the fence, and is held down with the 3rd bolt. The fence is trammed parallel with the Y-axis of my mill. I use a "CNC-style" vise, which is flat on all sides. It has clamping slots along the long sides, and I machined additional clamping slots along the short sides, as well. This way, I can orient the vise in whatever direction I need, and know it's square without having to indicate it every time. I also machined clamping "ledges" on the base of my rotary table, so I can set that up in a similar fashion, again without having to indicate it in. The only issue is that the crank handle sticks out past the bottom and side faces, so it can only be oriented with the handle off the table. I plan on building a telescoping extension for the crank handle, so I can position the rotary table however I want, and just place the handle in a convenient spot. This setup, combined with my universal-head mill, allows an incredible amount of flexibility in setups.

      Thanks. Simpler is often better and often a more elegant solution.
