Beall Tool

yea, I got the book and figured out that his shop and home are about 10 minutes from mine. makes it even harder to not buy stuff. He is a very interesting man to meet. Look for him at tool shows. mike

a well-deserved : ataboy. Unfortunately I don't have any financial interest in the company. : Bought their buffing system several years ago, the Big threader 6 months ago : and just got the hex nut fixture, tap handle, project book, tap handle and : another 1 ½" tap. I lost my tap some where in the clutter of my shop and : decided to spend a week cleaning up and remodeling. At the end of the week : still hadn't found the tap so I called them and ordered another. Two days : later found the tap! ###%#&*!!! : : Quality is first rate. Be careful about getting the book, as there are a : lot of cool projects which leads to and excuse to buy more of their : products. I am building my version of the air-cooled nutcracker as a : graduation gift for one niece and the table for another. The table will : have 2 sets of legs. One as a 30" high table and another as a coffee table. : : If you get tap and die sets be sure and get the tap handle! I could : probably save a few bucks I wanted to spend half a day looking. : : For the threading jig I bought a laminate trimmer from Harbor freight for : $20. Not a quality tool but should last a long time in this application and : the hardest part about threading is getting the depth of cut right. Now : that the trimmer is set I cal leave it in the jig. : : : -- : Art Ransom : Lancaster,TX : snipped-for-privacy@comcast.net :
