    Looking for CPF member?

    If anyone was looking for me, I spent years trapped in a toxic relationship, and then had a kid while in a different toxic relationship. Trying to put my life back together these days.

    Turning Ti not as bad as I feared

    I work with a lot of specialty metals at work, and Ti is a joy to work with in comparison. Like others have said, it's a lot like working with regular 316. Flood coolant makes a big difference, as does a heavy enough feed to keep the chips short, especially for drilling and boring. If you can...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    Got through all the posts, and added a little to Post 1. I'm in the process of researching some that weren't on the list before, and I'll try to get them properly listed within the week.

    Sorry for the long absence, I've been having a crazy year. I'm currently reading through the 600-odd posts I'm behind on in this thread, and I'll be making updates to the OP in the near future.

    Shop Nerd tricks, tips and tools

    It's been a while since I checked in, but here are some words of wisdom gleaned from my seasoned coworkers, and a few of my own. -Shop the scrapyards and scrap bins of local CNC shops for material. The cost is usually the going rate for scrap. -Ask around at your local CNC shops and see if you...

    Post your Pelican case setup!

    This isn't a flashlight setup, but I thought the divider system would interest a few. It's called TrekPak, and it's really handy. The dividers are semi-rigid corrugated plastic with foam padding. The system uses nylon coated pins to hold the dividers in place, so re-configuring the case is...

    LED nightlights that give off a lot of light needed

    There are a quite a few products now that will work with night light bases, even though they're designed for ceiling fixtures. I have a 100 lumen bulb in my night light :D

    Cree high CRI LEDs are here!!!

    I don't recommend the stanley LED's for single-emitter setups.

    Cree high CRI LEDs are here!!!

    Had a chance to work with a couple of the 90+ bin, and while it does a good job of most colors, the sub 3500K CCT leaves much to be desired. Until they come out with these with 90+ cri and 4000K+ CCT, I doubt I'll switch from SSC or Nichia high-cri models. I've found that using a TIR optic...

    Sold/Expired Neutral Tint Modding Service

    Help removing RA Clicky reflector for xml mod

    A pair of hose clamps and a 1" bicycle innertube cut into bands works fairly well, though I use bionic wrenches myself. If you're looking for modding services, I offer them.
