    Recommendations for spray-on corrosion inhibitor

    The CRC products are good (note the MIL spec ratings) Also, if permissible in your specific case, a good quality cold galvanizing paint is excellent too, but more "permanent" than the waxy stuff.

    Favorite budget light 2020

    Well, I haven't posted here for the better part of a decade I think... I was researching rechargeable D cells, for my Sony D5M cassette player/recorder, and wound up here again. Some great battery reviews in here guys! Anyway, to the topic: On page 2 (I think) the Husky light shown (2-AAA...

    Hello! I'm back

    Hey guys! I've been off line for a while, but I'm back.:whistle: Nothing new going on in the flashlight front, but I may be around more often again.:thumbsup: So, I just wanted to say "hi!":welcome:

    Any Info on Grizzly G0602 10"x22" Lathe

    The Hardinge does have this feature; however all the tool room guys here just turn it back by hand, and re-set for each pass. Lately they have been using threading inserts to cut threads. Even on stainless, they hold up fine. The new insert technology seems to prevent the dreaded tool break...

    Any Info on Grizzly G0602 10"x22" Lathe

    Glad I could help! One note on Kerosene lubricant: The new 'low sulphur' fuels may become less and less effective as a cuting lubricant. The sulphur is a big part of the lubricant, and a similar problem for my Diesel truck- I use addatives to replace the lost sulphur so my injector pump...

    Any Scotch Whisky drinkers out there?

    I also enjoy a good bourbon- my current favorite being Woodford Reserve. Quite a bit less complex than any decent single malt Scotch Whisky; however quite nice, and far less expensive.

    Any Scotch Whisky drinkers out there?

    Currently, I'm working on a bottle of Lagavulin 16 year. The best I've yet had, regardless of price (and you can pay more), is the Balvenie Port Wood 21 year. I drink these at bottle strength; possibly a drop or two (literally administered with an eye dropper) of water. I agree 100% on water...

    Official mag drop-in focussing problem

    Well, I'll check mine today, but I'm reasonably certain the bulb is fully seated...:shrug:

    Possible causes of general weakness, lack of energy?

    :caution: Have a Lyme Disease test done. :caution: My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with no recollection of exposure to a tick at all. Weird, to say the least, (particularly in winter) but after a few weeks of "Horse pills" (her words) she will be fine. I think it's worth a check! If you...

    Official mag drop-in focussing problem

    I have 2 3-d lights with the Mag LED drop-in and they both suffer from this same problem. The reflector is made for an incan bulb, not an LED. The Official kit should come with a new reflector, but I think the whole head would have to change if they did this (notice length difference on the AA...

    Any Info on Grizzly G0602 10"x22" Lathe

    Not bad! 304 is not particularly pleasant to work with either... Keep it wet with oil and play with your in feed speeds to get a mirror finish. Tool angle may need to be adjusted as well- I can't tell well from your photo... You may want to consider a few ideas as a 'new' lathe operator: get...

    Steels??

    I have a Benchmade in D2 and I am quite happy with it. it was also quite sharp when I purchased it, but the selling point for me (I wasn't even looking for a knife at the time) was the blade material. After running it through a ceramic hone, the edge was, quite simply, wicked. I had (still...

    Recommendations for a good axe ?

    I have one of these as well. I carry it in my truck on expedition. I got it along with a matching Fiskars hatchet for like $40.00 at Homo-depot or someplace like that a few years ago. The steel is not all that great, as it doesn't hold an edge well. But, it also is easy to sharpen because it...

    My G2 died today...

    See post #10... The new batteries worked fine. Only 6% below rated voltage, so that is a bit weird; I'm sure those cells will work for a while longer in another light...
