Radii Cutting Tool For Lathe, Radius Cutting Jig
Designed and made this radii cutting tool (radius cutting tool) for my small Crafstman/Atlas lathe. It cuts up to a .875" radius or 1.750" ball (22.22mm radius or 44.4mm ball) using a 1/4" cobalt steel cutting tool on a swiveling arm. The rotational axis of the swing arm is offset from the quick change tool post mounting arm so that a notch in the tool frame is not necessary for clearing the back end of the cutting tool. Lathe, machining, metal lathe, welding, drilling, reaming, DIY, hobby, metalworking, ball, curve, spherical, radius, radii.

Garmin Mini 2 Dash Cam Sample Video in Various Lighting Conditions.
Переглядів 5032 роки тому
I really like this little Garmin Mini 2 dashcam I bought a while back. Works great. Just a few minutes of sample videos I took in mostly bad lighting conditions so you could get an idea what to expect from one. It records in 1080P, which is fine to see what's going on in traffic, but maybe tough to make out most license plates unless they're right in front of you. I like the smaller file size o...

Homemade Plasma Circle Cutter Guide
Переглядів 24 тис.3 роки тому
Showing how I made a custom plasma circle cutter guide. It has ball bearing rollers, adjustable torch height above the workpiece, and works with both magnetic and non-magnetic metals. The torch I'm using is an ICE 27 plasma torch for my 10 year old Miller 375 Cut Mate. But the design should be able to be modified to work with many other popular plasma torch heads.

    Dagur Barkarson asked why does the footswitch take over when it's plugged in. The phone jack I used is similar to a microphone jack or a jack on the input of a guitar amp, where when you unplug the plug, a little switch contact in the jack grounds the hot lead of the jack to ground. If you buy a phone jack from a place that sells them for electric guitars, or to repair guitar amps, that's most likely the type you'll get. They do that so when you yank the cord out of a guitar amp, there won't be any hum from having an "open" connection. Within the motor speed controller there is a relay that turns the power on and off and controls the direction depending on which wire you connect to ground. The center (common) lead of the toggle switch needs to go to ground for the directional switch to work. I took that lead that came from the center common terminal of that switch and ran it to the hot terminal of the phone jack. When there is nothing plugged into that phone jack, that lead gets grounded by little switch contacts in the jack, so you can turn the motor on and off on the box. But when the phone plug is plugged into that jack, it opens up the "hot" contact that would be going to ground, and connects it to the foot switch. When you step on the footswitch, it connects it to ground. The pin at the tip of the plug is the "hot" side of the plug, and the barrel of the plug is what connects to ground. Hope that helps you out.

    • @tomsgarage6264

      I got it on Ebay, luckily for only $54.00. It's a Bodine NPM-13D3 DC Gear Motor, 24V, 2.6A, 42W, 4.5 torque, 60:1 ratio, and 42RPM. But anything in that same range of torque and RPM would work probably. It was weird that it came with a shaft that had been turned down to 7/16" diameter though from its original 1/2" diameter. So I had to make a sheet metal shim to get it to work with a 1/2" ID sprocket.

The only thing weird about it was that the shaft was turned down to 7/16" diameter from the usual 1/2" diameter. Probably any gear motor with a similar RPM would do the trick. With 24V, it's easier to control the speed with a cheap DC Motor speed control, but you need a 24V power supply. Good luck.

    This seems unnecessary to people who've never dealt with racoons, skunks and rats. Always over engineer when dealing with pest control. I replaced all vents, and the vermin made holes around the outside of those screens. Currently replacing everything. Vermin (rats, racoons, skunks) will chew through concrete and wood. They will physically pull the shingles off your roof near attic vents. I had no idea they would manage to tear up a wire screen! They are relentless, and take days to make the access hole. I'm going to look into your method of attaching to concrete. Any exposed wood near vents, not covered by metal WILL eventually be compromised. If you live near a storm drain, and have heavy rainfall, your home foundation vents are going to constantly be visited by rats escaping the high waters within the storm drain system.
