			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you know I recently purchased a milling machined to be able to do some custom PCB stuff along with some intro level metal working.  Well today I thought that I would try to create a collet holder that would have its sizes clearly visible.  However being short on time and on a break from some &#8220;real&#8221; work I made an end mill holder for my <a href="http://www.grizzly.com/products/g9757">10 piece set</a> from grizzly instead.</p>
<p>I am using a method that I invented I termed:  <strong><em>Self threading square tube insert method. </em><span style="font-weight: normal;">Whats so cool about this is it combines fairly easy cuts of aluminum that pretty much anyone can do with a band saw, hand saw or rusty pocket knife&#8230; Well not the last one and I don&#8217;t suggest you try it.  But is very cool.  Basically its all in the spacing of the 4 holes that were laser cut that the aluminum sits below.  Its a very tight squeeze which allows the screws to &#8220;self thread&#8221; inside the square tube&#8217;s inside.  Hence the name.  Not super witty but it describes it nicely.   Comments, questions or concerns always welcome.  Next thing to make is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collet#Metalworking">collet</a> holder.</span></strong></p>
<p>Here is the final results:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So my workshop was begining to become littered with metal bits from my new Grizzly G0463 Metalworking Mill.  So I got a good deal on a iROBOT <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1372" target="_blank">dirt dawg</a>.  This little guy has been great.  I have been a long time consumer of the iRobots but have found that having 3 100lbs+ dogs tend to &#8220;tire&#8221; the robots out faster than normal.  That being said this shop cleaning robot seems to preform as expected cleaning the workshop.  In all honesty I am very impressed with it.</p>
<p>However, My metal cutting table has clamping T&#8217;s that little bits of metal would fall down into and become very much of a pain to clean.  So I decided to fab a part in google sketchup for the T slots to help extract the junk.  So a few quick measurements with my digital caliper and I was good to go.</p>
