Do they get anodized? Or do you leave 'em bare?

My hats off to you Ken, good luck with the new gear!

There used to be a TON of Saturn windshield wiper motors on the surplus market. My students used two of them to drive a 50lb nuclear waste recovery robot they built for a design contest. These motors...

Welcome MoparCar!
Enjoy the ride!

So far every Iphone user that has touched my Thunderbolt has told me they had buyers remorse. Why should I have to add a viewer for Flash? When it should be supported natively? Just because Steve...

You are right Mikey,
There may be a shorter, faster, cheaper path to victory but when you value the journey as much or more than the destination you are on the TRUE path to happiness. I will...

One of the challenges with operating a high torque dc motor off of a dc power supply is that the current demands can be very dynamic and many supplies that are designed to run electronics or...

WOW! What an awesome beast! I'd love to see a video of that thing running again! Hell, I'll throw the camera in the bike, ride up and shoot the video for you.

I usually only worry about the weld area and clean that with a blending disk or hard wheel, whichever is closer. Then let the powder coater sand blast it when he does his thing.

;)Tie a piece of clothesline to that door handle and you've got "keyless entry" as well....All the modern conveniences...;)

Yes, that part makes perfect sense, its the "rod type detect" that I think is unlikely. Especially when the system is dynamically balancing the other parameters. The most simplistic solution would be...

Here are some pictures from a seat restoration I did recently. The seat pan was cracked in several places. MIG welded the tears, had the pan sandblasted and powder coated, then reupholstered the seat...

Hi Mark, At my "normal" job we have developed one of the most sophisticated aircraft power systems ever made, commercial or military. I agree that certain characteristics can be determined in a live...

Mark, not trying to be a PITA but I really do not think the machine can detect what kind of rod its got. Perhaps they just split the difference on the voltage and called it good enough? Or they used...

Should they stumble unannounced into my shop they might just find themselves sporting a few extra holes. Now if I know they are coming, ill just chain the bottles to the wall and use the cart as a...

Thanks Haywire, after I built it I bought a better bender as the bow and arrow type leave small dents on the tubing. I think if I did it over again I would have used some bicycle wheels instead. the...

Joe, Quality out of the box is awesome. Yes, many of their plasma cutters will adapt to CNC control. You've got some work ahead of you is you're serious about the contest, check the rules.

It was my understanding that wear facing rods work as a function of the flux environment created by the arc consuming the flux itself. I could be wrong but I don't think I've ever seen a wear facing...

And by Space shuttle you mean based on 60's era Apollo program technology?

Well I can attest to the quality of the product out of the box, I just got my Power Pro 205 and it appears very well made. Rest easy that you made a good choice. Welcome and enjoy your time here. Now...

I was a Blackberry user for years and got fed up with the lack of Flash support. I wanted an Iphone but again no flash. I ended up with a droid and I LOVE it. My Thunderbolt does everything I ask it...

Why are you selling it Oleg? Upgrading? Or just not what you thought it would be?

Nice job! Are those regular interior door hinges? We use a product called bitter apple to train our dogs where NOT to put their mouth. *MOST* dogs get the message the first time or two, but we have...

I could not agree more, I've had as much Motorcycle chatter as hardcore welding stuff and it's all been pretty good.

Welcome Haywire! Enjoy!
