Default To types of metal working today.

Slow day at work, decided to whip out a collet stop since I've been turning down pull
dowels for an assembly line's tooling. All the tools need step dowels. That was fun.

Took the last half of day off to go to the dentist and do a brake job in between.

Different kind of metalworking. Front brakes needed new pads and rotor, rotor stuck to
hub. Heating didn't work, beating and prying didn't work, sawed down though disc to hub
with my sawsall thinking that might do something to help free it. That didn't work, I
finally took a welding grinder and ground the hub area of rotor until I could see the hub
for the axle. Then I went after the interface with a cold chisel until it broke free.

The other wheel, no real drama.

The collet stop was a lot more fun
