Bill, et al.,
This was one of the most enlightening clinics I attended at the NERPM, and
“enlightening” is definitely a multiple meaning word, particularly with regard
to the impact on one’s wallet. My favorite of his tools is probably Ryan
called a “sensitive drill attachment.” McMaster-Carr calls it a
“Straight-Shank Drill Chuck Arbor with Drill-Feed Attachment” or “sensitive
drill chick arbor” (https://www.mcmaster.com/sensitive-drill-chuck-arbors),
and it is slick. Of course, one will also need a No. 0 Jacobs chuck to go
with it (https://www.mcmaster.com/jacobs-taper-chucks
or https://www.kbctools.com/itemdetail/?itemCode=1-508-6200).
The arbor runs $86.56 from McMaster-Carr and the Jacobs chuck another $90.00 to
$105.00 depending on the source. Still is, as I said, a really slick
arrangement and has been added to my planned acquisition list.
The clinic provided a wealth of other great tool ideas and techniques as
well. Ryan’s planning to do Part 2 on machine tools next year and I’m
planning to be there.
Pax,
Ralph

Subject: [RealSTMFC] "Machinist Tools For Modeling, Part 1 - Hand
Tools." clinic at recent NERPM Among the clinics I attended at the recent the
NERPM, the most expensive was the one presented by Ryan Mendell, "Machinist
Tools For Modeling, Part 1 - Hand Tools." In just two days I have spent about
$200 for five new tools and I have not purchased a Digital Caliper yet. Ryan
runs the Machine Shops at the University of Toronto and is a Mechanical Engineer
who started hanging around a machine shop at age 14. He also was selling a neat
little Finger Sander he calls the "tight Spot Sander." Here is a link to the
Demo video:
