    Needle file question

    Needle file question

    I just recently purchased a set of 12 #3 cut friedrich dick needle files. Needless to say they are fantastic when compared to cheap sets from harbor freight which i am used to. The question i have is, how much thinner and smaller are escapement files when compared to standard needle files...

    Question: Design translation.

    I want to give your trick a try, that video looks like you got amazing detail with your transfer. Where do you tape the 2 sheets together before feeding into the printer? the corners? along the whole edge? double sided tape? Thanks!

    Fogging scope

    Hope it helps! If possible maybe bring your scope inside with you at the end of the session. Keeps it out of the cold and next time you go to use it there isnt a major difference between your eye temp and the scope temp. Not sure if your scope is hard to remove. Mine is an a60 on a stand that...

    Fogging scope

    I had this same issue and also had slight moisture build up on my ball vise from the change in temperature. My setup is in a 12x16 shed. I ended up insulating the whole shed to r13 and running a dehumidifier that keeps it below 55%. I also run an electric heater which keeps it above 50 at all...

    The jacket will be going on has an internal flap which helps keep the wind out and is made from a smooth material. This pull tab will be resting either against that, a brass zipper surface or the face of the design on the inside face of the jackets external flap. I dont think snagging will be a...

    Critique Request Gift for my wife

    I had thought of this but inexperience with silver led me to believe these points would be sufficient, ill pay more attention to this on the rework. Thanks for the advice!

    I was thinking of heat hardening the silver, would this solve the issue or not be sufficient?

    Help me please

    This is what i use with my lindsay system. one on the compressor side. You match the barb end to the hose size you want to use. Doesnt matter the hose size since the lindsay system uses so little air almost any hose can flow enough. i would just say get one rated for at least 85 psi because you...

    Help me please

    looks to me like a 1/4 to 1/8 npt (national pipe thread) on the compressor side and 1/4 npt on the switch side but im not 100% sure. The tiny white connector is standard medical IV tube connectors.
