  3: Chip catcher for band saw -
• 
  4: New bench frame welded up
• 
  5: I welded part of the plate back on - mistake - impossible to prevent warping. Should have just made the edge super straight and mounted side-by-side.

  7: This is a plumers compression ring cutter that is no longer available - Lots of machining steps.

• 
  9: Cheap mag base drill overhaul - the counter sinks dimpled the ways - caused it to bind. Ground out the dimples and stoned the ways flat. Chinese equipment should be thought of as a DIY kit.
• 
  10: Angle grinder - Changed grease - got noisy.
• 
  11: Sold this - worked well but requires a cell phone that will become obsolete. Will replace with a stand alone unit.

  30: Replacement of the pnematic drain valve - GSP threads made this a pain - probably should have re-threaded it.. Here you can see all the fittings - needs to have a prefilter with settling or it won't last long at all.

  31: Replacement of the pnematic drain valve - GSP threads made this a pain - probably should have re-threaded it.. BSP needs a gasket to seal -

  32: Replacement of the pnematic drain valve This is the old one - worked for years, but impossible to maintain.
• 
  33: Replacement of the pnematic drain valve - Intalled - The settling bowl and filter keeps the valve working.
• 
  34: I think I like this Chamfering tool - fine adjustment in mm- replaceable carbide cutter.
• 
  35: Updated - had to sew more accordian on the right side - chips can fall on a prox-detector and cause a crash on homing. Will add an elastic bit to help retract so it dosen't get bunched up. Not easy to clean- - but keeps the ways clean.
• 
  36: Example of HDR messing up - double image.
