Maybe you should reconsider the women you know...

Whatever happened to simply sharing your schnickengruben with a woman?

What I've seen of Mr. Python's moviesI really like. I really must make
a point of digesting the entire body of work. For so long I was just a
child, ignorant of real humor....although I *did* devour everything
Bill Watterson ever wrote regarding my friends Calvin and Hobbes.

No - but I'll definitely try "Excuse me while I whip this out" at the
next available opportunity. As long as you're sure it will work.

When you spin the drill really, really fast, it drills undersized. So a
5/16" drill bit will fit inside the root of a 1/4-20 thread. Right?

<grin!>

Sigh.

Even the 1/4" bushing can't have a 1/4-20 outside thread. My guess is that
you'll need a 3/8-16 tap sometime soon if not a 1/2-13

And, with equal probability, no size bushing will work. ;-)

That's the nice thing about shop-built singularities ... if they don't do
what you want them to, you can always eBay 'em to some guy on the other side
of the planet who needs the opposite probability from you. Kinda like
digging through the earth to end up upside down in China. (Don't lose your
grip .... the acceleration near the middle of the earth is NOT the be
believed. You'll come to halt right at the lip of the hole back where you
started ... in mist form.)

Or maybe not.

Great shop.
I bought a twin-screw vice from them (via a UK importer) back in 2000,
fiddled a bit and stuck it on a shelf until the bench was built...
Last summer, ahem, finally got round to test fitting it on the bench
top, and woe of woes halfway in the threads seized in the nuts. All
sorts of crude measuring and meddling later I couldn't work it out, but
thought I'd try filing the sticking parts of the threads. Discussed my
plan with Lee Valley/Veritas and they replaced it for me! Priceless service.
I also really like the way they innovate with their tools.

Just to keep things in balance: This morning I ordered some drill
bushings from LV and - since I'm planning on installing them in a
metal fixture - I asked how they were threaded. They promised (and
did) send the info via e-mail...

<quote>
The measurements you requested for the Insert # 25K6220, the 5/16"
Bushing #25K6205 and the 1/4" Bushing #25K6204 are all the same at ¼
x 20.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
</quote>

I'm still puzzling over how the factory drills a 5/16" hole thru a
bushing with outside 1/4-20 threads...

I highly recommend you discard that catalog immediately, delete any
references to Lee Valley from your computer, and seek counselling
immediately. Otherwise, none of us are responsible for your financial ruin!
Seriously though, a class company with great products. I'm glad they're
around!

If you use a long enough drill and spin it really, really fast, you can
create a singularity for which the diameter is undefined. Any size
bushing will work then.

Maybe you should reconsider - women think more highly of men that don't
know or quote Monty Python material.
