slittin’ saw? Could make it work, take bigger cuts to push the machine and not break the tool... angle plate, surface plate...
Early bikes often featured common bin hardware and I don't think the hose clamp detracts at all from the bikes vintage look, perhaps just the opposite.Poor engineering on my part Rick,
Side by side 6-32's would have left some meat in the cross sections, and adequate clamping force
This tool box was going nowhere.
Dan's tool box per my numbers, left a 1/16" gap between tool box and Flyer gas tank. That I took up by cutting a section of bicycle inner tube into halves to dynamically tension and balance the side to side spacing.
My ride today, I never once looked at the hose clamps.
On starting the Sportsman Flyer, the tool box with closure on the right hand side made for quick stowage of the pull start rope.
I tried that Ralph and I'm sorry to say it, but it didn't work. The issue is drill presses have somewhat unique bearings in that they're designed to be loaded from the side. Which would be top and bottom in a drill press.Heck, I'm going to use a mill jig on my drill press so I'll share the results of that when it happens. I'm not too sure what you guys are talking about but I'll progress in some way.
I never thought of it and that's a helluva good idea! That'll look cool . I'll look thru what I got 1st and draw up what the angled mill you linked might look like, but one way or another this is gonna happen.Bill,
Don't suppose you have any angle end mills? By angling the fins instead of thinning them a larger heat sink area

Tom with everything that's going on I'm concentrating on the basics & hopefully I won't let the small aggravations of life get blown out of proportion. Delays on orders are just inconvenient. I'm also finding myself spending more time sourcing items that normally would be available which is, again, just inconvenient & not life altering...unless I allow it to be. I suppose I should just be thankful that commerce is still in motion.Rick sorry I didn't give you a reply to #745. I hope you don't blame me for adding to your inventory..
Be careful and don't cut your fingers off.
But I'm with you brother, having to get another person to do what you want done now is not always going to happen. And keeping your hand in is good for the brain I hope.

I bought that 6 degree cutter Tom. I drew up just fine and with "experienced eyeballs" like yours trig isn't necessary.Sorry I didn't Trig. it out for you Bill, lazy I am but you spec'd .140 fin width but not height. Just looking at it guessing 7/16"?

Ribs just rose to top of my to do list Tom. Thanks for helping me allocate my time wisely!All I did today Rick, is get a slab of pork ribs split and laid on a roasting rack of my big SS roaster. Put the lid on and set the oven @ 250F and got busy making my favorite BBQ sauce. Ribs in at noon, sauce made by 2:30 and started ladling it on. Many turnings and saucing's. Went to turn the ribs at 6:30 and wouldn't turn over in one piece.
I bet you wish you were here, and Mona's coleslaw …….
Night guys, Bon Appetit
Tom
