--Posted a few photos of my injection molded parts. Will make better
parts if I can get access to a wire EDM machine to cut a better die than the
one I can machine on the mill.

--Silly idea I had many moons ago: quick-adjust depth stop for
milling machines, etc. Spins with air; easily removable for full depth quill
travel, cheap. Never made 'em befor because I couldn't get the die made for
a decent price. Bored with no work in the shop I redesigned the thing and
made a die, squirted some parts and am now debugging.

You mean like the way you can blow a ball bearing round using compressed
air? Funny but neat!

--Exactly. Being basically a lazy ******* with limited time on any
project it just seemed like a way to shave a few seconds here and there..
