Re: Batteries what kind do you use?
If you are open to the use of rechargeable for AA or AAA Eneloops are fantastic. I have some that are 6-7 years old and still perform flawlessly. I use these, but I am sometimes disappointed in the performance of the battery-powered device due to the 20% voltage drop (1.2v vs. 1.5v per cell). Howev...

Pop-ups are worse than Spam

I am disappointed that the site management has chosen to revive this practice, which has been unanimously disliked by forum users in the past.

Shopsmith abrasives at Lowes
Maybe this is already a common sight for some of you, but I was surprised to see that familiar logo on a whole section of sanding materials — disks, belts, and flap wheels — at my local Lowe’s yesterday. All were marked ‘Made in USA’, or ‘Assembled in USA, Made in South Korea’. Prices were reasonabl...

Re: Your circadian accent at MMOGO
Just FYI. The links in this type of post are often used to direct visitors to sites that infect visitors with malware, ransomware, etc., so it's a bit more insidious than simple search engine optimization.

Re: Moving Lathe work.
You could shift the work a few inches with a 2MT extension like this in your tailstock: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2MT-TO-2-MT-EXT ... xyzi9SgUBC

Re: Keyless drill chuck on Ebay
Shopsmith chuck is 5/8 in. capacity; eBay chuck looks to be 1/2 in. max. May be a good deal, just not equivalent.

Re: Robert Sorby Micro Sandmaster, opinions?????
I made my own based on Eddie Castelin's video. Simple and much less than $80. The video shows a fixed handle version, but an adjustable handle is a simple mod. Good for those who want to try out the self-powered sander method inexpensively.
