OFF TOPIC threads ( was This topic is OFF TOPIC DROP IT Possible OT vac

From the CCED Home page:

"The list is aimed at the construction and use of this equipment in a
Home Shop Machinist environment."


Not chatter about neat stuff, not posts of stuff on e-bay, not the
intracies of putting a counter bore in a 2 inch hole......

construction and use of this equipment.

This seems to me to be use of the stuff needed to construct the
machines. not machine operation. Bill has posted many times that
actual parts making is better done on other lists. how to select a
drill or reemer or tap, HSS vs Cobalt vs Carbide... yadda yadda yadda.


Bill doens't jump in all that often, and 95% of the threads he asks
to stop are clearly off topic. Those 5% are interesting and machine
related, but grey enought to get bounced.

If you want to contine a thread that is getting off, BRING IT BACK ON
TOPIC by making it relavant to the machine you are building.

I think the vaccumm stuff is neat, and am interested in how to build,
enhance, design and stuff. The on topic stuff as it relates to our
building of machines.

This post if actually off topic, (2 in a week for me) so I'm going
back to lurk mode.
