Perhaps another option to help rid the spam would be... If the system could be configured so that when a set number of 'trusted' members flag a post, it is removed until Sean can review it. Then he can make the decision, as he does now, to allow or delete the post. With this idea, if the spammer che...

And furthermore.... It has been noticed that the overwhelming quantity of spam is always in the Discussions part of the board, and rarely in the other sections. Since I have seen occasional, but not this aggressive form of spam on other forums, the question is... Is it because it is the 'Discussions...

Guess I'm just plain old dumb, but, what the H--- is the point of all this spam? Email and phone spam; I get it that they are trying to harvest personal data for nefarious means. That's likely a bust since anyone that responds to their requests probably doesn't have information worth anything. Those...

First, thanks to everyone for their suggestions. From all of those, it turns out that cutting the nut with saw blade in a Dremel tool, mounted in the lathe's cross slide, and turning the nut with the lathe chuck, worked the best. One dilemma was how to hold the nut in the lathe chuck. It could not b...

Does the jet/beam widen or deflect the farther away it gets from its aperture? If so, It would seem both might require the nut to be rotated during the cut. As for the diamond wire, I suppose you would need a bandsaw-like tool to pull it through the nut? In view of the typical set up costs for the l...

hackelsup, dayrker Grinding by any means is a loss of half the nut as chips and dust. I hope this week I can resolve this and go on. Yes the 7/8-20 thread is tough to find. These were available from an industrial supplier that had only this one option, non-stocked item with a long del FYI: here's th...

Hi CeaSar, Thanks for your input. That rod idea is what I am looking into, but unfortunately most lathe parting blades are several times wider than the Dremel cutoff wheel's thickness. Consider also that the nut is hex shaped so until it is cut to the root, it will be a bumpy interrupted cut. With a...

Hi Dyarker, Thanks for your input.The Dremel holder was made for their flexible shaft attachment, not the tool itself. It clamps the handpiece using a couple of split shaft collars that are brazed to a plate. There is a piece of 1/2 square stock brazed to the back of the plate that fits the cross sl...

No, I am not a spammer, although the title may look like that :grin: Open for suggestions to.... Cut a 1" brass hex nut in half, through it's width. These are 'special' 7/8-20 thread and the only ones I can find are about .375" thick, which is too thick. I could use my lathe with a threade...

Hi CeaSaR Thanks for all your input but this is really gotten to be a nutty issue. I can use any browser and it will type properly, then occasionally, the next time, or entry, it will reverse. After Enter is pressed, the next line entered is right again. This is totally random, and cannot be duplica...

Note on "Outlet Testers" Be careful about how much faith you put in these testers. Most are neon lamps with dropping resistors that will still light properly with a high resistance connection. In fact modern multimeters, with high impedance input circuits that are great for solid state tro...

This is making me nuts! I have a less than one year old Dell Inspiron laptop, running updated Win10, that occasionally shows typed entries in browsers and some web forms backwards, Not the letters, but the letter order, like the heading above. Interesting that it only does it sometimes and NEVER in ...

I'm sure I mentioned this before, but I am on another forum that, after registration, it will not allow you to post anything new until you have responded to a fixed number of other posts, over a set period of time. The responses you provide must be meaningful and related to the original posts. This ...

Exported products to the EU, among other restrictions, require Restriction On Hazardous Substances certified components. These ban 'dangerous and hazardous' materials from reaching the end-of-life disposal dump. Many components are ROHS certified by the manufacturer or vendor, so that is not to much...
