Lol I'm messing with you man, yes I've had to do a few, and helped on other ones. If they didn't use heat to break the locktite it'll rip the threads out. The fact that they had to use roughly 10' of leverage to get it off really makes me think that's what they did.
I'm sorry, it's simply a figure of speech with roughly the same meaning as suck it up, and is very common in the Midwest. He was explaining the desire to have stuff you can't afford, and i thought it was a fitting use at the time since everyone has that problem always.
Well you'll make a phase converter with an extra 3 phase motor and some spare parts, and in time you'll slowly collect enough stuff to slowly detach from paying others to do what others deem impossible. I've worked all sorts of different jobs, some loaded to the gills with cash and some limping...
Well, if nothing else you learned that the tools to fix this are cheaper than the cost of hiring others. Those lathes are gonna start to look cheap soon enough.
Didn't think so, cool. Stainless doesn't like having a crack or gap that doesn't get air, causes crevice corrosion, so it is very seldom used as a pin.
Odd place for stainless with the crevice corrosion, might be worth looking up the spec, especially since it's a lift. Can you cut it with a torch or no?
You can use a die on the lathe, but 1" isn't that bad if you had to. On the lathe you can use the tailstock to help start it and keep it square, and run it in under power or by hand. We cut pipe threads all day everyday on pipe up to 4", no big deal at all, and i won't hesitate to cut up to 1"...
You can do it by hand with a die, you don't even need a lathe. That's how rudimentary cutting a thread is. Give a hand any lathe with a leadscrew and he can single point it to almost any threads per inch you want, you just have to set the gear train for the particular thread. I get that it's...
If you are sticking rods you're probably too cold. I have mine pinned on high because i still have the old vacuum system and it won't fire up for the grinders, so i just leave it on high idle. With 5p you can just stick the rod to idle up, then just wiggle free and you're off to the races.
I built it because I'm lazy and i love pirates, so both the chipper and the trailer have homemade cranes on them :lol: They're built to be used as yarders too, so they are how i could turn free scrap pipe and welding rod into a tree service. Kyle's redneck builds in the gear section, all that...
