Many millions of zinc parts are held together by screws with no problem at all. Because zinc has a low coefficient of friction it is often useful to use either a "star" washer or to serrate the underside of the screw head to prevent it unscrewing, particularly if the parts are subject to vibration. If the design requires maintaining a minimum tensile stress in the screw and temperatures are likely to be above 1500 F, there is a possibility that stress relaxation could occur.

Send it back to Eagle or have someone who can solder the jack back on fix it for you. This would only take a couple of minutes. Back to Top | Back to FAQ

A half-hour radiodrama series produced in Minnesota, specializing in satire and horror. It was originally produced at KUOM-AM (770 Radio K) in Minneapolis between 1994 and 1997. We haven't done any scientific tests or anything, but we're pretty sure that it was the funniest and scariest comedy and horror radio-drama anthology series ever produced on KUOM-AM from 1994 to 1997.

Threads' home station is KUOM-AM (Radio K) in Minneapolis, which is currently airing the show at 9pm on Wednesdays. The original run of 39 episodes was syndicated on public-radio and college stations across the U.S. and Canada, thanks to the arcane magic of satellite transmission and the even more arcane magic of sending boxes of cassettes through the mail. Thus we fulfilled a lifelong dream to annoy people thousands of miles away. We were played on these and other radio stations:

NO, the auger sets in a "T" slot groove in the back of the shaft and may have slid forward just enough to come out of that slot. If you turn the Auger in a circular motion while pushing in back in you will feel it slide into that "T" slot coupler and then you will not be able to turn the auger by hand anymore.

Zildjian sells a package of 100 rivets (P0790), for a retail price of $4.95. Your local music retailer can special order them. You can also purchase "screw driver" rivets at any hardware store. These rivets are simply split open by a screwdriver which gives you the ability to control the amount of "play" the rivet has in the cymbal.

This is a collection of the quesions people most commonly ask me. Perhaps you were wondering about these topics yourself, but "didn't want pry." I hope this page helps satisfy any lingering curiousity you may have! :)

Most packaged "drug store" cigars include non-tobacco ingredients such as paper, saltpeter (for even burning) and PG or Glycerin (to prevent them from drying out). Quality cigars contain only tobacco. Most quality cigars contain top-of-the-line leaves, and are made with long-filler (the leaves run from end to end. "Good" cigars are generally only available from Tobacconists.

Good ones don't come lose and if they do then you need to learn how to be a bit more gentle with your microphone technique. Some rock musicians apply loads of duct tape to hold everything together, including the stands! The secret is quite simply to buy good mics and look after them, that applies to any equipment really.

whatever material you're using, punch a hole (the size of the rivet stem or a little bigger) where you want the rivet to go. I use a leather hand punch, but you can use the attachment that comes with the setter. Load the rivet setting pieces - 4rt 4rb (loosen side screws, place in hole, and tighten side screws) Pieces are marked Place the brass rivet back over the rivet stem, pretty side up. By looking you can tell which side of the brass back should show.

I use the blind rivets to articulate the pieces temporarily whilst the armour is being constructed. I find they are much easier to use for this than nuts and bolts and, being aluminium, they are very easy to remove by simply drilling out - which only takes a couple of seconds. The first time I make a piece from a pattern inevitably it is necessary to carry out a number of alterations to the shape of the various sections as assembly takes place.

The 601XL should be tail, wings, center spar, rear fuselage, forward fuselage, join rear fuselage/forward fuselage (then sit in it and take pictures), instrument panel, engine/cowl, canopy. This building flow also allows for the maximum amount of room in your shop as well since all prior construction can hang from you walls or ceiling.

www.rjleahy.com or www.mcmaster.com and there are more...Solid round head or truss head are the most useful for metal-to-metal. Flat head if you like the look. 3/16" dia. x 3/8" length, for the vast majority of jobs. #8 x 5/8" copper belt rivets give the most durable connection/most versatile size for attaching leather to steel.

Most common tool is a drill [use 135-degree split-point bits; avoid *gimmick* bits like bullet-points, but cobalt and TiN-coated bits work well], but a whitney punch is much handier for making a lot of identical holes. Please check the essays section of the Archive. If you don't find the answer, then ask on the Armor Design and Construction board on the discussion forums. What is a spun bowl and why am I condemned to Archive Hell if I want to buy one. Insert plastic here too.

We recommend that you send your cymbals directly to us for rivet installation. We have special equipment, designed for placing holes in cymbals, which is much safer than any other hole punching process. Just call our Customer Service Department @ 781-871-2200, tell them how many rivets and where you would like them and they will issue you a Return Authorization Number (RA#), so you can send us your cymbal.

No, we don't rescue wild mountain lions. Our mission only supports the care of displaced captive mountain lions. We refer people with concerns for wild mountain lions to the Predator Defense Institute, the Mountain Lion Foundation of Texas, and the Mountain Lion Foundation. Their websites have a substantial amount of information regarding legislation affecting wild mountain lions, as well as practical advice for the safety of people living in areas where mountain lions are living in the wild.

Sometimes hair loss will show up in patches, or all the hair on your head can be lost. Since the hair on the rest of your body does not grow as rapidly as the hair on your head, you may not notice hair loss from other areas.
