    Model Hex Head screws

    You could fill it with solder, or even turn it down to the bottom of the hole if the the head does't get to thin. Kel P.S. I like the idea Chuck, sure beats making one out of small hex stock.

    How do i know its bronze..

    Check it with a magnet. A while back I received a 14" round x 2.25" thick gear from a large motor grader. My friend said it was brass, and it sure does look like it. I got it home, cut a chunk off and machined it. It machined ok but much tougher than brass and bronze. later I...

    3/32" Copper Sheet

    We order OFHC copper quite often at work from McMaster Carr. It's shocking how expensive that stuff is. That piece could cost around $100 or more. Kel

    Hello Edi, Great work on those parts! I am glad to hear you were able to follow my instructions in regards to the spark plug hole. I was looking at the bevel gears you made, something seems a little off. The sides of the gear teeth should be parallel and the valley should be triangular...

    How to cut aluminium plates

    This may seem crazy, but we do it all the time at work. We use either a worm drive circular saw or a 10 inch chop saw with normal carbide tipped wood blades. It can get pretty loud so wear ear protection and dont forget the saftey glasses, but it will make a nice cut. we have cut a 3"...

The other type of "Philips" is called a Reed & Prince, which has a sharp pointed tip, and is not actually a...

    Material questions?

    Chris, The link that Tin gave you is great. If all you need is a small piece, I would suggest clisking on the "Odds & Ends" link. They have a large variety of cutoffs to choose from in some large sizes for about $3-$3.75 a lb depending on the piece. Kel
