Ken,
That container is empty and came with the acid brush. It's a Spillmaster container which I put cutting oil into. You can tip it over and it won't spill its contents. I have one for my regular cutting oil, one for aluminum cutting oil, and this new one will hold dark cutting oil used when machining 1018 CRS.

Great idea a jar that does not spill when knocked over. Kind of like a kids tippy cup. I produced something similar a while back by taking a empty prescription bottle and drilling a hole in the top and inserting a piece of PVC 1/2" pipe which I glued to the lid. now I put my acid brush in the bottle and no more spills. Have to be careful with the super glue while attaching the PVC pipe to the top as to not get any on the jar threads or the top fails to come off.

I guess I can add something here. My nephew will start trade school in the fall. These were on his list and at $76.00 a steal. It is a SPI 0-6 mike set in perfect condition. I just got them back from calibration.

I'm thinking of doing that but using some aluminum since I have a fair amount of it sitting around.

Is aluminum lighter than plastic down under?
My response was that aluminium (note correct spelling) was lighter than steel, as had been suggested by Ken. So, I was asking Ed whether aluminium was a good choice when scrap steel would be better.
I just checked and it seems that a kilogram of aluminium weighs the same as a kilogram of plastic
RE: Latest UPS Delivery - Mayhem - 07-06-2013
$76.00 for the set? That is a steel. How is the quality Bill?
RE: Latest UPS Delivery - Bill Gruby - 07-06-2013
Quality is right up there with everyone elses stuff. They will last him for quite some time.

Steel would definitely be better but anything added to the weight of the Spillmaster is better than the Spillmaster itself as far as stability is concerned. I don't have any scrap steel in the diameter necessary so aluminum is a better choice in my situation.

Nice stuff Ed!
One thing I would do if I were you regarding the boring head and it's R8 adapter would be to find a way to lock it on there. At a minimum, use some Loctite or other thread locking fluid. If possible, perhaps use a Dutchman screw or pin to fasten them together. The reason is that you may need to run it in reverse or accidentally turn on the spindle in reverse and unscrew it. If they are firmly locked together, you can actually use it running in either direction and that can be very useful for back boring or sticking a boring bar out sideways.
I don't know if my dad had ever fastened the boring head I bought him, but now that I'm thinking of it I believe I'll check next time I'm over at the shop.

Thanks Ken. Please refresh my memory on what a Dutchman screw is. I think it's a screw that's inserted at the thread joint between two items that are screwed together to keep them from coming apart. Is that correct? Google was of no help.
Ed
EDIT: I had better luck Googling "Dutchman pin".
