Well sirs I was cutting threads in 316 stainless like nobodies business. 20RPM is too low for the MicroMark. I had to cut at 100 RPM more or less. Used the...
Enco has good descriptions with illustrations. What you want are ER for normal threading or EL for left hand threading. The straight "E" cutter is only good...

Hi Guys, I have been away for a while as I have been busy framing our new home. Now that the roof is on I have come to the point were I must decide on a...
John I will put it this way, the lower the "C" number the softer and tougher the carbide is. The higher the "C" number is, the harder and more brittle the...
In my experience, radiant heat only works well when you can block off all but the gentlest of breezes. In an enclosed and insulated structure, they work very...
I discovered that it was worth paying the extra dollar or two and getting coated carbide. The TiN or TiAlN coating not only makes the tool last longer but...
JWE....I'm going to order some of each (C2 and C5 from ENCO. I just bought a Delta 6" grinder from Lowes and a green wheel (100 grit) from Victor tool. It...
Be careful here......an open loop system or closed? - For open loop, what about stirring up dirt and filling in the well? - For closed loop you can drop a...
I like the idea of multi-fuel. I also like the idea of the Tarm, but have some reservations for home use, only due to the water thermal storage, it eats up...

I would never use bentonite to "grout" casing in a well. The stuff is actually drilling mud (same thing that is in most kitty litter). I would properly...

I do not know much about the groundwater geology in your area, but that 3 gpm well at 500 feet worries me. Will it sustain 3 gpm indefinitely, or was that...

Have you thought about some hot water radiant in the slab? I intend to run 1 coil (circa 300 feet) of some PEX in my slab and stub up for future solar...
I have yet to get the hang of parting off. Because steel is cheap (for now), and aluminum and brass are not, I have been working mostly with steel. I use a...
