    I have no idea what happened with the video quality on this one. The original file on my computer is 1080p, so I am guessing my internet provider is to blame for a faulty upload. I have had nothing but problems with Centurylink, now Brightspeed. I also have had several audio problems that I have been trying to work through. This I believe is the fault of the GoPro Hero 10 Black. I will be working through these issues, but honestly, it is almost enough problems for me to just give up.

      I only keep it for the simple fact it helps contain coolant. I ran it one time with it off and had coolant all over the walls, ceiling and floor. When it comes to safety appliances, believe me, I remove them as fast as possible. This guard is actually useful.

    Hi Josh. I suffered from tennis elbow in my working years,so my chiropractor told me to go to the drug store and by a forearm strap.

    Great content Mr Topper. I get tennis elbow and I find the best solution is to try and avoid having your forearm in tension. I change my driving position, so I don't grip the steering wheel too tight and other things you do, that involve unconscious tension in your forearm. Even dropping you shoulders when you are using your computer mouse. You said your wife is a nurse so she will know best.

  • @BikerGirlTraveler
    @BikerGirlTraveler Рік тому

    I think that the idea of using a bent tube was a good one, but the vent tuve was almost the thickness of the fitting that screws into the fill hole. That is why the oil went down so slow.
    Two possible solutions, one, use a manual pump with a hose, insert the hose in the hole and pump in the oil.
    The other is more complicated and should had been done by the manufacture. They should had put two holes and two plugs. One to fill in the oil and the other for venting. Or they could had made the fill hole at least three to four times bigger. That way people could use a larger diameter hose.
    🤔 Just had an idea. Is it possible to put oil back in through the same house you installed to drain it? Because if you can, again, with a hand pump (similar to the one you use at the top of barrel) you could connect a hose from the hand pump to the drain hose once you are done draining the oil, and pump new oil in through there. I don’t see why not, unless it’s a pressurized system or there is a one way valve somewhere that would prevent it. The fill hole at the top (the one you used to put the new oil in) would become a vent hole. Get what I mean? To prevent good oil from draining while you install the plug at the end of the drain hose, may be you can find a quick disconnect attachment.

    The only way you can accurately determine whether your lathe is working fine is to clamp a politician's head in the chuck. According to validated statistically results the body will follow the head at 500rpm. At 2000rpm it should come off.
