    Here is a bolt circle calculator that you can use to figure out the diameter. https://a2zcalculators.com/construction-calculators/bolt-circle-diameter-calculator

    I’m just “Skating through life”……………..

    Your tig welds show much progress, grasshopper! Now I’m wondering how many of you are old enough to get the ‘grasshopper’ thing?

    What is the proper loading sequence for the “Parts Cannon” ?

    Parts cost versus having a hvac technician theoretically diagnose it correctly and hand you the bill. You might still be ahead.

    You can’t "drink all day” unless you start early!

    When you are ready to establish the depth of your cutter, use the strip of paper trick. That is, with the cutter rotating, slowly advance it until it grabs the slip of paper that you have on the surface you are trying to mill to. Just hold it lightly and let the cutter pull it out of your...

    Time for a compressor.

    I have never heard anybody say I bought too much compressor. However, I hear ‘I wish I had a bigger compressor’ from just about everyone I know that has one. That includes me!

    Welding in the work shop

    In my many years of welding, I never started a fire by welding. Grinding was a different story. That is where I had a few adventures. The concentrated hot sparks plus the wind created from the wheel to feed oxygen to the flammable material is what sets it apart.

    Tools you want to brag about?

    Just like the story behind this screwdriver. Was working for my dad at his gas station when I was 11 years old. Got paid 10 cents an hour. I was in a store that had a rack of Globemaster tools and I spotted this giant screwdriver with a price of 1 dollar so I bought it. I thought it was cool...

    Limbinator

    I like your concept so far! Use caution when welding the emt tube. The fumes from the coating is nasty!

    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    Yes, I have the exact same machine. I run it full rpm but I do have it set to ramp up over a couple of seconds. Same with the shut down. I finally bought a balancer to true up the wheels and it made a big difference in grind quality. I have to admit I am anything but an expert on surface grinding.

    Putting the cart before the horse…..Three Phase power question???????

    I have used every type of phase converter there is over the years. Started with the cheap ones to run on two legs and then the rotary but once I discovered vfd's I didn't look back! On my mill, this vfd didn't have reverse so I did the no no and ran it through the switch. But I don't do...

    VFD with variable speed and don’t look back! Also make sure it has reversing capabilities for tapping. When purchasing, double the size of the VFD when using it for phase converting. IOW, if your mill has a 1-1/2 hp motor you need a VFD rated for 3 hp.

    Good luck to all the “deer hunters” out there……Caution lots of "gruesome carnage" pics...

    As less people hunt now, this is how the herd gets culled!
