You could say that I have an attraction to Neodymi You could say that I have an attraction to Neodymium magnets. #seewhatididthere Always finding new ways to overcome challenges with them. The flat on the end of this part is very thin. I could hold a gauge block against it while probing it, but this seemed so much easier and simple. 😎 #neomags #attracted #magneticpersonality #setupdevil

Initial batch run of Churchkey PLUS, Churchkey MIN Initial batch run of Churchkey PLUS, Churchkey MINI PLUS, & Churchkey MICRO PLUS blades are completed and I could not be happier with the results. Not only do they EASILY cut through Nylon, Dacron and other control lines without even the slightest concern, but they also seem to be perfectly capable of cutting right through the actual steel braided cable and Nolon sheathing of Cutaway cables! And even after having cut some of those, they still continue the cut suspension lines with ease and aplomb. What a blade!! 💪 Beginning to think there may not even be a better one out there. It’s pretty damn good. But then, we’ve done a fair amount of research on what people wanted and a massive amount of design work, process control, and even more testing. You guys are going to love them. Best bottle opener ever designed. 😎 They also cut fabrics, Cordura, nylon tapes, seat belts, harnesses, rope, and much more! Also suitable as gut hooks, if you’re a fisherman or hunter. Blades are shipping to those who have been testing and we expect to be making another 500 or more over the next few weeks. The like in the store will go live later this week. #churchkey #plus #mini #micro #bottleopener #hookknife #cutthecrap #lifeat13500 #readyonbelay

Freshening up the table relieving angle blocks of Freshening up the table relieving angle blocks of the Fellows Gear Shaper today. When disassembled, we found a little more wear than I was happy with here. Nothing that affected accuracy or function, but I want to nip this in the bud now before it becomes an issue. Part of the problem was the oil passageway had become contaminated. That was thoroughly flushed out and verified and a fresh grind was done to both blocks. All that’s left is to Flake the Bronze block for oil retention. 💪⚙️ #handscraping #rebuilding #Fellows #biax #dowork #taftpeirce
Some times you have to perform maintenance. Becaus Some times you have to perform maintenance. Because there’s not a “department” for that. On a side note, I had completely forgotten about the fact that I had to make the bearings for the work spindle back when we bought (and rebuilt) this machine. I was very pleased to be reminded and discover that they look great and are doing their job perfectly. That’s the third set of bearings I’ve made now that is still in service and performing as good as (or better than) OEM. All of my hand scraping is still present and doing well. Technically, I’d love to do a few touch ups, but we are too busy right right now and it’s not actually necessary. But we are scheduling some more maintenance for this old girl in the coming months and I will probably do some of it at that time. #Fellows #7125  #handscraping #scraping #bearings

Some years ago I started doing this and it has pai Some years ago I started doing this and it has paid off dividends ever since. I’ve always wondered why manufacturers never did it, or at least engineered better systems to avoid the need. But if it helps someone else, here you go. I place a bag of strong neodymium magnets in the DI fluid tank, before and after the filters. The systems are supposed to catch everything, but we all know that they do not. Does it work? You tell me. Pictures don’t lie. That’s all sub micron metal particals from the Wire EDM process. 😳😲 I’m pretty happy with the results and our filter life. I clean the magnet bags about every six months.
