Dammit Will! Tuck those hoodie strings in while using the lathe.

[@FloridaMan0561]

Yes. I know that I’m not the only person who was cringing as I was watching him using the lathe with those strings hanging down. It only takes that one time for it to accidentally get caught up in the lathe to cause an extremely bad injury or his death! I know that Ethan and the other guys have had to tell him to be careful more than once!

I feel like he is on the spectrum with add and adhd people. My garage is a mess and looks like a landfill to my family. But I guarantee I cal tell you that the screw for the lawnmower in the back yard that holds on the plastic cover is under the left rear tire of my jaguar and has been there for 6 months now. Or how I have sandpaper that fell behind the work bench a year ago that’s 1000 grit. Or he’ll even where I dropped a 10 mm socket by my back fence and it’s still sitting there after 2 years. We never forget anything. Especially if it’s something we handled last. I cannot tell you where anything is tho after my mom comes by and “cleans” up the house while she visits. Lmao I have lost more stuff to her moving something 6 inches than to my kids that touch everything. Atleast my kids have only 4 hiding spots and I can guarantee you will find anything you lost in those places. Yea it makes no sense to others that are normal. But that’s the beauty of having adhd. Everything looks like a tornado came through but we know where it all is at. (Not saying everything in the house is a mess. Just the zones that I personally claim as only mine.) everything else is clean and looks like a hotel room. 😂

Hey machinist Willey! Next time you only have to take off a little bit just run it again without turning any dials. It's called a spring pass. It just takes off the amount that the cutter flexes away from the part. You'll be surprised how often you can go too far without going anywhere!

[@haydenpoch6549]

Also, don't take hot measurements especially for a press fit

[@wesst1765]

When going through my machinist class. The math behind it is that when cutting circular stock on a lathe it is actually double the depth of your cut. So cut half of what you want until you get comfortable enough to take the big cuts

[@WorldofTon]

Yes because you are decreasing the radius by the amount you move. So it takes that much off of each point all the way around the circumference.

[@WorldofTon]

1/2” cut on the radius is a full 1” off the diameter.

[@philipreaves]

Make an electric crosskart "trike" with a battery pack in the back (over track), but have it on a swing arm, so that it works like a servo, making it so you don't have to tilt/ lean while turning, and able to control it while doing a wheelie! This proof of concept can start a new wave of snow machines, since electric snowmobiles as is sucks hard and is anything but premium.

[@russellzauner]

or just put the motor and tracks on the barbie boat to make it amphibious all weather

[@Todd_G_FPV]

Sorry but I'm confused why would u have to lean/tilt in a cross cart to turn? They have 4 wheels? We'll tracks if I'm reading this right lol

[@williamschultz298]

@@Todd_G_FPV Not OP but probably to counterlean during a turn. With long suspension vehicles (without an anti-rollbar) during turns, they have a tendency to lean outwards. this would solve that without using an anti-rollbar (which you want for some reason????).

[@goontheracoon]

@@Todd_G_FPV Let me clear things up.. it's a snowmobile, but picture a crosskart trike, the battery can lean from side to side as to shifts the center of mass, it also offset driver weight up front 2, using the battery weight as a feature, and not a flaw like EVERY electric machine ever. it would be MUCH safer during avalanches, and you'd be able to climb RLY well in it. for those who play in snow, this will save lives.

Guy's seem puzzled that tracks don't like alot side-pressure...even the steel tracks! With tracks, the less flexible the better. And the heavier the load even better. Then slow the whole assembly down. Add slippery surface, and now you see tracks at their finest. All that being said, THIS WAS AWESOME!

[@K.J.Ray421]

I see that gives you 6,000-W and an amp rating of 30 amps. If you use the lathe, air compressor, or welder, all separately and not at once, then you should be fine. But you'd benefit from the double setup they have, giving you 12,000-W, or the battery expansions like you said. We thought we were ok here, and didn't need a backup generator. Then the power went out for 31 hours a few weeks ago. The next day we ordered a 22-KW Generac Guardian generator with the automatic transfer panel. It runs off of natural gas or propane. The entire generator with the transfer panel, shipped to the door was about $6500. And then another $700 in parts for the conduit and wire. We wired it ourselves, and it's big enough to run our entire place (including 2 HVAC systems and a boiler) and were able to hook up our neighbor's house also, since they don't have AC, there's not much of an amp draw there. In any power outage though, we just don't run the electric dryer, and likely could go a couple days just hanging laundry.

You need a differential if you want to keep the tracks on. Trying to corner with that great a difference in 'wheel speed' is sure to make problems. When driving M113s and M114 A1E1s, we used separate "Johnson Bars" to control the speed of each track. You might also consider using a large flange both inside and outside of the wheel assemblies.
