Sorry for being such a noobe PKZap27, but when I click on your links it just takes back to this page again. I must need to adjust my settings somehow to be able to go to the posts referenced by your links. I am doing something wrong but I don't know what.
Sometimes you just have to wait a few seconds for the page to finish loading and it will jump down to the referenced post. If this doesn't do it, it may be something with your browser.

Thanks PK - found the posts. Do you know why I was unable to follow your original links?
im using firefox and it does the same thing to me unless under general settings i have it set up as default on "numbers of posts per thread page" instead of "40 posts per page"

Thanks misterD, bstedh, and mjmetz for your help. I did what misterD said and I changed my "numbers of post per thread page" to "forum default" in my settings, and now the links work as they should. This problem has been very frustrating to me since I started on the forums. I cannot express our much I appreciate the help in getting this fixed. THANK YOU!!!

Call me crazy, but MisterD, since you know what the root cause of this not working is, have you tried to report this as a bug?
nope! Every time I need to follow a link I switch my settings to default until i get tired and then i have to switch to "40 per page" :lol:
you do it! go report the bug!
anyways i tried the copy&paste on a new tab and it worked so I might stick to that!!

Ok so here I was with all the holes drilled and ready to thread them, thats when the 2-56 tap broke in the hole. After doing some reading I have found that the e-machineshop.com recommend no tapping holes smaller than than 0.118", this can be problematic with stainless steel since it is a harder material. The hole size for 2-56 is .067". Needless to say I have run into a brick wall here. 4-40 is .101, and does not come up with the tapping problems, but that changes the type of screw and spring and washers I am using. More to follow.

This type of wall was meant to be broken down...

I know you can do it Dan!

Good luck, lookin' forward to see what you come up with.

Give the man a hand - in fact, give him a Bells.
Thanks for the hard work Dan. We know you will find a solution.

Dan...the problem with SS is not that its tough...it galling that you have to control..its very abrasive. You need a good tap like in the link below and brush some anti-seize compound on it. Also dont try for a full thread...drill your hole bigger and shoot for no more than a 50% thread. Dont even bother trying to tap SS with a worn tap...especially that small. Or you could check in to thread forming taps..but I dont know if you have enough material around the hole to take the pressure. You probably know this already but it may help others...so just sayin'.

These are really good taps...Greenfield's are good also and a little cheaper.

or these..but expensive and have to be very careful when tapping by hand..

Hello everyone, especially Scubabatdan, I'm relatively new here on the ECF and met Dalton63841 over on the Divine thread and he clued me in to all the fantastic tanks you've got going here. Sure wish I had found this thread sooner as Dalton's been teasing me with snaps of his Scubagen tank all night and letting me know that the only way I'll get to try one is if I am a very good person who comes over here and says how do to all of your wonderful folks so you can find out that I might be worth putting on the next coop when you've got your newest DSU ready to go.

Sincerely,
Wingapo

I think that is one of the nicest and most sincere attempts to get me to do another co-op, I would have to say that, if and when I get the kinks ironed out in the DSU series it MAY become a co-op.
