Making your own t-slot bolts
I don’t think I would go this far. First off I would have used threaded rod instead of cutting the head off the bolt, and then to weld a washer onto that and grind it down…Nice build but it has … Continue reading

Nice Knob maker
The author made a nice jig to make knobs. I made a quick jig once a while back to do this, didn’t work so well and the plastic knobs are pretty cheap to get on the net. Don’t look as … Continue reading

I never heard of these before. Seen similar ones in wood. Nice build overall. More work than I would do for one thought.

Nice free CNC build for corner square clamps
I like thsi build, the download file doesn’t include the slots thought. I wonder if the author put those in by hand. https://cutrocket.com/p/5a916d86a8ee7/

Making an automated chop saw
The author basically build a system that would cut up bar stock into smaller pieces. Why? Not sure. But if you have to make a bunch of them, this would be worth it. Whole thing is controlled by an Arduino … Continue reading
