Re: What are some of your shop tips and tricks?

One thing I intend to do but have yet to implement is to have foam cnc routed in the shape of all of our tools for the bottom of the toolbox drawers. So tired of having to reorganize the tools after they roll around for 5 competitions.



Ever have a wheel or a gear stuck on a drive shaft but don't have a bearing puller handy? Grab two channel lock pliers (or two adjustable wrenches) and open the jaws up all the way. Use the curved outside jaws as a base and use them both as a lever on opposite sides with equal force to pull the pinion or wheel off of the shaft. (see attached image)

Don't have an edge finder for the mill? Use a piece of paper to find zero on the surface or edge of your part.
