Anal/OCD and neurotic. Has its benefits.

I want to build a proper tool post grinder. Good idea.

I did order two new pins when I did the center O ring they’re only 0.70 cents a piece. Just in case. The original pins in there were not hard. I found that weird also.

Yea, for a center. They make a spring loaded centering tool for those pointed ends, I've seen one used somewhere on KZfaq by someone, can't remember which channel. I need to get one or more.

@@MotoRestoFL Your channel is very interesting. I trust only myself to maintain my bikes so as to avoid what your customers have to go through. I believe people overlook the lower torque specs for those end bolts. And the factory torque specs for the cam caps is wrong.

funny story, I saw the Roto-Dial on Abom79's channel recently, indicating in a Fireball vice he was machining. I ordered one like right away. The guy from Roto-Dial emails me couple days later, asking where I'd seen the device, because he's seen a recent spike in sales. I told him, of course, didn't hear anything back, but it appears others saw the same video and had the same idea to buy one.

Hey Tom, regarding your mill in your garage, do you have to constantly monitor your mill for oxidation/rusting due to it being in your Florida garage or do you have an air conditioned/ heated garage? I’m wanting to get a mill and a lathe as well, but I have an uninsulated/ unconditioned garage in Central Florida. It gets very humid in the county I live in which is Lake County.

@@lickitysplit2413 only this time of year. In the winter, with cold snaps, the mass of the machines stays cold, then we get these warm and humid days - you know what I mean. Then the condensation hits. Last week I almost had a heart attack, it was soaking wet out there and everything started to rust. It happened to @hapticgarage and he put up a short about it. He’s in central Florida also. I have a portable AC and some insulation, that day I closed up and put the unit on nuclear dry, then cleaned the equipment with WD40 and green scrubby pad. Summertime it’s more humid as you know but the temp is stable (always hot) so it’s not an issue so much.

@@MotoRestoFL yeah, I was doing the same thing on my bandsaw table a week or so ago as you. I forgot to apply wax to it and that day was when the warm front moved in after a couple days of cold weather. So out came the WD-40, green scrub pad and then coat of wax. I have pretty much decided I’m going to build a small wood framed room in one corner of my 30’x24’ shop with bat insulation in the ceiling and in the walls and put a little 6000btu mini-split heat pump in that room where the mill and lathe live.

No pins aren’t that snug. Best to indicate on the bore itself.
