jeffwhitney3 Do you design and make that jig in house? Many years ago I use to make jigs to bend control rods for wood fireplaces. After I left that shop they bought a cnc bender that would have made my life a whole lot easier. 5 likes

texasgunnews That was such an informative angle! Great camera work. It's like watching "How It's Made," but you have more chest hair after😂 3 likes
damon.mansfield The mini-ductor tool works on the same induction heating principle. Loved using that thing when I had a stuck bolt (bolts on trucks, not rifles, that is....lol). Lots of heat, no torch-induced collateral damage. 3 likes

- laruetactical @dannah_mfg ... Can you run a Haas ?
- dannah_mfg @laruetactical I have an 06 mini mill in my garage
- laruetactical @dannah_mfg ... Phase Generator ?
- dannah_mfg @laruetactical no. Specifically bought because the MM, non super MM, will run single phase. It does pretty well too.
- laruetactical @dannah_mfg ... I scanned your page. In 1979, after carelessly throwing the RPM to it, I threw a counter weight off a VTL before I could ramp the rpm back down. 😳

rowdyyatez Cool to see someone doing induction brazing on IG
- laruetactical @rowdyyatez ... Not brazing ... we heated our Siete's one-piece handle to allow bending
totally_twisted1 👏 Thanks for that. It's always cool to see how the fine details are completed.
