I do like the Gearwrench stuff, I have three sets of their spanners (ratchet, standard and long reach) and also a couple of the socket sets, 1/4" and 3/8"
really well made and i think good quality hard to get in the UK at a decent price but very reasonable over in the US
its a slippery slope when you get into detailing, a couple of links below to some websites that offer some good products

Also try DW05 for a 5% discount on some of the sites it will work...
I used to design valves for a living only low pressure ones though up to 15000 PSI, boring i know right :D
What sort of pressure are you looking at? What is the medium running through the valve?
Cheap Chinese valves will have Delrin or PTFE sets which is fine for most low pressure...
I have a connect as a second vehicle, and i cant fault it. Its just got another MOT with nothing needed and its got 188K miles on the clock. they do rot though and i have welded several patches into the sills over the years.
It says your in Manchester as am i and and the green zone comes into...
You can actually get specific drill that will cut through rebar if you google it, they are not cheap though and im not sure if they will do the size you need either looking at that hole

When I was at Uni this is how we were taught technical drawing, We actually used the purple pencil lead as this was better when scanning and copying the drawings and making the blue prints apparently
I cant for the life of me think what the pencil lead was called but we didn't use drawing pens...
you could do it the old fashioned way and pick out the bricks that you need to take out and just split them and put back into place to square up the opening, No need to buy a 9" grinder then (which are bloody awful and dangerous if you ask me). This would obviously take you a little longer to...
I'm a subscriber to the Christmas tree method, I've just finished my level 2 C&G and found that with the small weave I wasn't pausing enough at the edge of the weld.
Once you have the xmass tree technique down it really is therapeutic, I would also say that before we did each of the welds our...
Most cheap ball valves have soft seals, in something like that they will be PTFE or some sort of Nylon. the spindle seal wont necessarily be a soft seal its likely to be a graphite seal so that static cant build up on the ball itself.
I used to design valves so in my opinion if you've had to...
Another vote for Gearwrench from me the prices in the USA are much cheaper than the UK I brought back a set of 4 120XP flexible head ratchets and in the UK retail is about £140 but in the USA on sale I think I paid about £80 for the same thing,
I travel to Detroit and then over the bridge into...
You wont be able to do all of that in one feature.
You will have to break it down, first as suggested above you need to do a revolution to give you the tapered section of your main part. But as you want to halves that are then secured together you only need to do the revolution through 180...
Try TFC, call them up explain its for an R&D project and see if they can send you something through the post.
I use them all the time for R&D projects at work and they are normally really helpful.
if you have a look through the website, select the correct spring and give them the part number...
I agree it would need to be empty to be able to do it hence my comment about feasible :laughing:.
As its your own shop it only has to work for you as well so as long as your happy with it that's all that matters
This is just a suggestion and I don't know how feasible this is with your workshop space.
However when I have ran Kaizen events to improve workflow through production lines and had to plan new cells I have found that carboard templates are a massive help. We would always start with a plan like...
another product type is Bondloc, cheaper than Loctite I have just switched over our company to Bondloc products purely down to price because of the amount of Loctite we go through.
