It looks very like a well thought out design with a very reasonable price. When will the copies show up here?

I'm confused as to how Mike could cause it to rust only on the outside and not on the beveled edges. Selective rusting??????? It appears that there wasn't a truing cut made on the outside thereby trusting that the OD is perfectly round and expecting the internal boring to be aligned correctly...

Hey, you need to organize and clean your shop!!! I see a few pieces of sawdust on the lathe bed just behind the tailstock.

I'd be concerned with the heat since you are cooking them and they could become brittle and crack over time. When I wanted them really hard I used milk and a little elmers white glue and let the soak a few days, then pressed and let them dry slowly and tightened the clamp several times the...

Great Idea. I had no idea they even existed. Thanks, Ray

I like LePro's better than the Elkmasters

If you think about how many tips you can press with John's tool it will literally cost you nothing and give you consistent product that your customer can depend on at a resonable cost.

Greg, I came up with the bolt and fender washers because I didn't have a vise capable of pressing more than a few tips at a time and I wanted to do more. Since a vise is bolt with a set of jaws i.e. "fender washers" I thought that by stacking I could get the volume and whether it be one layer...

Greg, there are rod couplers for joining 2 pieces of threaded rod. With the washers you can see and measure the tips thickness

Good idea!! I kinda thought about the rubber and it could be stacked in just like a layer of tips. .

A spring might be a good idea but it would have to be pretty strong like maybe an engine valve spring. Easy enough to try though and see what the outcome is.

I use 1/2" X 3" or 3 1/2" fine thread bolts with heavy fender washers. I set the bolt up on it's end and place 4 washers on then 4 or 6 tips evenly spaced around the washer , then add 1 washer and more tips and so on until I get 4 layers. I cap those with 4 washers, the nut and torque it to...

Capacitor or contacts in the drum switch. Also check all the connections on the motor.

And with the truck and trailer you could say it's portable!!!!!!!
