Is there anybody that can lead me to getting 101 custom flasks made in this style. This is huge project I’m working on and I need these by march. Please Dm me , thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm doing my major in Automotive Engineering. The prof asked us to make the process of a steering knuckle made of aluminum.

We can only make it by forging, high pressure die casting or gravity casting. I'm thinking the last bc the cost of the forge is too high and the porosity of the hpdc seems too bad for an estructual part. We have to think that we are doing 200k pieces a year. Is it too much for gravity casting? If any of you have some knowledge or can reference me some website it would be very useful. Thanks!!!

Hi, I’m looking for a precise bench top drill press. Around 3/4hp-1hp, 12-16 speed, 16mm drill chuck. I’m currently looking at a:

Renegade Industrial 3/4HP 16 Speed Bench Drill Press - RI1316

My budget is up to $800 for the drill press, I mainly do knife/tool making but I also do some woodworking and other stuff.

If anyone has any experience with this drill press, any similar one’s or has a drill press recommendation feel free to share. Thanks.

all suggestions to fixing/replacing it are welcome

I'm making wind chimes out of 1/4" grade 2 titanium rod. I need to drill a small hole at a measured point. I've been using a v-block, but it's difficult to get things positioned properly.

Can someone please tell me even what I'm looking for? I've been searching for jigs or fixtures, but I'm not sure I'm looking for the right thing.

I thought maybe something like BlondieHacks' cross drilling fixture, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pOMMTSu9_Lk or speedway motors https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Safety-Wire-Drill-Fixture,2927.html wire drill fixture. I can't tell if speedway's will drill in the center of the rod (but I'll ask)

I'd prefer 1/64" holes, as the 1/16" supplied by speedway would really remove a significant amount of material and I'm not sure it would work so well trying to use a smaller diameter drill bit in a 1/16" hole. I guess I could buy another hardened bolt with a different size hole.

Am I thinking about this right?

Any leads on a gate lock system that allows us to open or close with a key when we step out?

NB: when I step out I need to call someone to lock it from behind.

So I just recently moved into an apartment complex as I can’t afford housing in my area. I have my own personal garage that I would like to make into a workshop of sorts so I may do my blacksmithing, work on my bike, car, small projects, ect ect. The only issue is, this bad boy doesn’t have an outlet. I only have a dome light that is timed and has a movement sensor that is attached to the garage door mechanism. On the rules of my agreement you cannot work in these garages as they don’t want oil spills on the pavement. (That is the written agreement) however I spoke with one of the property managers and they said they really don’t care if I do and to “go for it🤷‍♂️” I really want to practice welding as I’m very much a beginner. Do you think I could tap the power from the garage door?? (Definitely a bad idea I know) or should I just get a generator. what kind of generator would I need? I have a very small arc welding rig. Just looking for some advice. Let me know! Cheers.

Went to a pretty cool place that guides you through turning a horseshoe into a knife. They have steel stock and literally tons of scrap metal and very few rules, so you could make just about anything. After 7 hours I came home tired, smelling like fired coal, and happy as could be. Best birthday present ever.
