On the topic of shop stands, I thought using one of these adjustable work benches from home depot. Only issue is the base height is a bit too high. I don't know if it can be lowered in anyway but it could be a great base for a stand...

Single carbs don't have the problem because the ski either runs or it doesn't. You tune the single carb to the cylinder that needs the most fuel and leave the other cylinder a bit rich. The problem with the twin carbs is that one cylinder can drag the other and destroy it. Don't leave one carb...

I am no motor expert, but none of the high end motors experts run single carbs. There is clearly a reason for that. There are always slight variations in cylinders, porting, engine temps, etc. With dual carbs, you can make sure each cylinder gets exactly what it needs. With a single carb, you...

I can't count the number of houses I've made entry with my $1 knife from WalMart. I recently got past a commercial door lock with tamper plate with only a piece of etco2 tubing to access the fire alarm control panel. I did it in under a minute with no damage and locked up when we were done. I...

I use masterlock pythons to lock my superjet. They work like zip ties so they fit through the bow eye. They also fit through the pin holes in my bigfoot beach cart. You can also connect 2 of them together to make one big loop and they fit very nice in my camel bak for mountain biking. There are...

The stock cylinders have a very nice smooth powerband but lack a lot of the power that ported motors do, but ported motors lose the linear band and sacrifice something somewhere. Are there any options for powervalve top end kits that are a direct replacement for the OEM cylinders? Something that...

Light bulb moment. I get it now. Ya'll the bestest.

Currently I am not wearing any mask or using any fluid. I spray a little WD40 on the part sometimes but mostly just blow the chips off the part with plain air.

I was adjusting for backlash by using a dial gauge and using g0 x0.05 and g0 x0 to move that 50 thousands. Every time I move it using both moves, it lands on 0. That is why I think I have the backlash adjusted correctly. I can change the steps per to basically any number and if I make a + and -...

@OCD Solutions The enclosure I built has worked great for setup and practice but I think I am ready to start designing my permanent CNC enclosure. I think I would prefer a flood coolant system over a mist system. Have any recommendations on that? I'd also like to add spindle control to the...

They look good but I’m waiting patiently for the X2 post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure where it is coming from. I think the gauge I am using might be wrong. I was setting up my gauge and manually adjusting my steps per until the accuracy was down to .005 or less. I had done this before, after I got the machine, and my coin was coming out to 46mm on the X and 46.9mm on...

Well, as you can see by the date on the coin (4/6/21), I’m out of time. It was my goal to give Scott the first coin I ever made and I gave it my all. I tried really really hard to get tighter results. I spent a lot of time trying to get it dialed in but i haven’t been able to yet. It’s...

Upping my mounting game today. Using tabs and made my first set of soft jaws. Found 2 nice matching pieces of bar in the scrap pile so my soft jaws are about $3 (not including machine time, but that’s all practice anyway. First time using the drill operation.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If that's not enough of an excuse, then how about this... If you set up a 4th axis, I will bug you about how you did it until mine has one too. Motivated now?

Can you post information about the urathane molds, the process and the best application for the parts.

I have spoke about this a lot and I believe some others have too. Well Easy Composites made a really good video explaining the process. So you can either 3d print a plug, and work it to lift a production mold. Or in the case of this video, you can 3d print a mold to use just once or twice and...
