Just about all of the lowpriced halgoen track systems these days have a 120 vac to 12 vdc transformer built right into each track light fixture. Using the inverter adds cost to the system but reduces the labor content to get the system up and running, no rewiring of anything. At 12 vdc, each lamp dr...

I need to drill a perfectly centered 3/4" hole in an 8" felt buffing wheel. Any ideas? Thanks, Steph Assuming the buff already has a hole in it (1/2" or 5/8") this technique will get you about as centered as you can get. Clamp a board to a drill press table and drill a hole in t...

I tried a nice machining wax which makes great models but the high expansion rate of the wax causes cracks in the molds before it me...

Re: Another Kiln Repair Q
I have an element that has crept out of its channel in the side of my 'round' Paragon. The wire is particularly stiff and thick and I have not been able to stretch or pinch it, even while warm, to get it back in the channel. It's just hanging out there.

You might try sandblasting the irid coating right under the dichro piece and see if that helps, or go for just a tack fuse of the dichro piece on top...
