Cool little staple gun project

2008-11-21T03:44:38Z

I need an air staple gun to shoot an 18ga., 1/4" crown, by 1/2" length.
But, the driver has to protrude 1/2" past the end of the nose. Of course,
there's nothing like that available, nor is there a long nose gun that I
could just shorten the nose by 1/2" available. I need at least 1-3/8"
finished nose length to get clearance.

OT: Makin' Money?

First, I apologize for another OT post. I did put "OT: " in the subject for all who do
not wish to read OT posts.
Some time back I stated that I expected the Dow to reach about $7500. Today it dropped
$444.99 (5.56%) on top of its previous losses - to $7552.29, just $52.29 above that
expected point. Of course, some nay sayer came right back and told everyone how stupid I

Sleeves for putting hydraulic cylinders together.

I know this is a great metal working project and I've made couple of these things at work
to get me by.
When trying to put a shaft, as in hydraulic cylinder shaft, though a loaded oring lip
seal, having either a nice bit of same diameter rod inserted from the easy side holding
things open, or a hollow sleeve that will allow the externally threaded part to pass

Chuck Safety

One our customers recently had an operator that left the chuck key in
the chuck and started the spindle.
They asked us to provide a solution and here is what it looks like.
We have installed 20 of them in the last few weeks.
Will not allow the spindle to start without the key in place and if
removed of course the spindle stops.

"Enco" brand chuck arbor vs. Jacobs

2008-11-20T12:29:33Z

Enco has their own brand (Chiwandian, I'm sure) drill chuck arbor for
$4.22 & a Jacobs brand one for $17.75. I'm assuming that there is a
difference in quality, specifically runout, but is the Jacobs one 4x
better? For use in a drill press (not lathe tailstock), do you think
the "Enco" one would be acceptable?

a little OT - anyone want some automotive repair books

2008-11-20T05:56:40Z

these don't have ebay value, but I think there are enough folks here that
could use them that I'll rile up the trolls and offer them - four books,
soft cover, as follows:
Petersen's Basic Chassis, Suspension&brakes no 2,
Petersen's Basic carburetion and fuel systems no 3
the above two both say "hot rod magazine technical library" on the cover
