I'm running a round 80mm 110V 1.5kW spindle on mine, and, while I'm still trying to finalize the mounting, I love what I've seen of it working so...
Taps are useful, but not freezing to death is, generally speaking, more useful. Good luck with both. (fun fact: kerosene is also a recommended...
My feeling was that 3-4 separate .5" mounts would tend to offer more of an advantage than two bolted up 1" mounts. That feeling has absolutely no...
One out of two Rob-thumbs up! (Fun fact: Last night was my third attempt at writing up feedback on the video, and, while longer & more rambling...
Wow, Rob, are you as pleasant to talk to as you are to read? -Bats ( being succinct )
Yes. Absolutely. (note: this should not be taken to imply that Absolut is recommended for use in Tip #4) First, there are some tools &...

That's two pieces of glorified cardboard, thank you very much. But, yeah, the fact that it all rides on those four long screws worries me almost...
Thank you again, Gary, you're a genius. Have I mentioned that I want to incorporate your genetic material when I clone my army of genetically...
Tune in next Saturday, kids, for more exciting adventures with the fearless Openbuilds team as they battle to save the world from their renegade...
I considered it when I ordered the spindle, but, aside from seeing generally poor reviews for the things, they're about twice as wide as the...
