I like these Mr Fuji clones, you can get them with or without the MTL insert.

TrollDragon This is in my cart for Labour day. https://www.fasttech.com/product/9695928
A little bit wider and shorter than your link. I'll throw yours in as well.
I really like this one https://www.fasttech.com/products/8212700 looks like an 810, but it's a 510 :) You need an atty with a fairly big flat top to hold it.
Now how did all of these drip tips get into my cart? ;)

Well after a few rough days recouping from all the time spent working on cars I finally felt better yesterday, went down and got the Jeep inspected. Three months past due, sure will be nice not to have to keep looking over my shoulder, now that I'm legal again! Well as far as the Jeep goes LoL.

let's keep an open mind, willy ;) while i think the odds are good there are still a lot of unknowns.

Point taken, you might be right. The news report I watched they were talking about the Juul, they use the salt juice don't they? Maybe there's something with the salt juice or with the juice some makers are producing for them, I never tried that juice so I don't know.

What set me off is the doctor who they use all time for health reports said nicotine was the problem and it's addicting which is getting kids addicted to ecigs then over to cigs. We know nicotine is not addicting, he should too so he's either not well informed and that makes him look like a fool and not any doctor I would let treat me, that or he's got an agenda. This guy Dr. Marc Siegel

I have a Novo flush key on my BB and its flat shelf loves to accumulate juice, don't know why these manufacturers can't put a decent chamfer on the hole.

Any chance you could chuck one in a drill chuck, spin it and put the bevel on it? I use my drill press to make or modify small parts that way, spin the part and use cut off wheels, dremel bits, files and sand paper to shape and then fine finish. Could also use a hand drill, just clamp it in a vise or onto a bench.

That never usually goes well for me, and I don't have any drills sharp enough.

Poor excuse I know... ;)

What I had in mind was just use the drill to spin it then use either a miniature file or a dremel bit to make the bevel, once the bevel is cut use fine wet or dry sand paper (320-400 grit) to get rid of the filing marks and put a nice brushed looking finish to it. Go one more step and polish it to a chrome like finish if you need that to match, super fine sand paper and then a polishing wheel on a dremel with something like Flitz would give a really nice finish.

320 grit paper is what I used on the fire button and heads of those tiny screws of this mod I made, spun them in a drill and held the paper to them. It's the same paper I used to put the brushed finish on the body of the Hammond box, just sanded in a straight line, give's you an idea of that kind of brushed finish look with 320.

Just got finished installing a set of kitchen taps in a new tenant's apartment. Try to tell the property manager "Buy Cheap, Buy Often" but that falls on deaf ears...

Nothing I like more than lying in a kitchen cupboard, in hot weather to change taps. One of the flex lines leaks too and I don't have a spare, so it looks like I'm going to be under there again tomorrow. :glare:



I should have bought a dozen of these dotMod friction fits before FT pulled them, one of the absolute best wide bore 510.

There is a substantial ledge in there and it's stainless steel.

I've made replacement 510 pins by spinning a 3mm pan head SS screw in the hand drill before, using a file to reduce the diameter of the head. Even managed to put a hole through one for wire trapping to fix the broken pin on my Origin MK2.

What I wouldn't give for a small metal lathe and vertical mill. :2cool:

I have a bench metal lathe probably manufactured in the late 30's or early 40's (it's on its 4th electric motor I think) that you could stop by and use. I have no vertical mill though. :( Although there are tricks you can do with a lathe that you can do some vertical milling stuff with it. ;)
