Threaded rod

[Duane AyresParticipant @duaneayres88517]

LOL Dave, So true. There was time where one would have to say the name of where they are;before so many European Countries used UK right? What is the price of gas? or are Electric cars used more there? WoodSmith have a lot of projects they done, so many are free to get the plans for, many have to pay for.

[Duane AyresParticipant @duaneayres88517]

You're correct, I spell surname Ayres, I have they history of the name, old version was eyre, the man( in the time of Knights was Truelove, some decided for him to shorten it. Eventually the spelling changed. People will at times look at the spelling my family use and still write with the "e" before the "r".

Hope this won't turn to a topic

Duane,

Off topic. To avoid confusion, I am a UK resident,

We dwell in two nations divided by a common language.

You put gas into the tank of your automobile. We cook with gas, (Natural gas) and put petrol into our cars.

Our diesel engined cars run on DERV, (Diesel Engined Road Vehicles ) The same fuel, with a red dye is for off rood machines, and called Gas Oil. The red dye is intended to stop naughty people using it in their road vehicles, to avoid paying the tax on road fuel.

DON'T ask the price of our fuel. About of half of what we pay is tax! the cheapest petrol is £1.295 per litre, Tis is £5.89 per UK gallon, (yours is about 20% smaller )

Because our forefathers travelled the world, there are towns and cities named after UK ones. We also have a New York, but a LOT smaller than yours; scarcely a village!

Now what was this thread about originally?

[Duane AyresParticipant @duaneayres88517]

We have regular unleaded and Diesel, also have a special fuel. We have natural gas to run water heaters, propane for several items like BBQ grill many have gas stoves;restaurants always have gas stoves. We use liter here,measurement for soda bottles,car engines etc. FYI, we're paying $2.80 9/10(regardless of the $ amount;the 9/10 stays the same/tax).

The thread: threaded rods/woodworking

This site does not (necessarily) have a country origin after your screen name – include it if you wish, mind. It does, however have a “profile” facility which, if everyone used it, could provide adequate info for most interested parties, were it to be used. It is there for exactly that purpose – to show your profile.

Plus 1!

I live in hope that those who have NDIY will see the point of posting a public profile with some general indication of their whereabouts.

NZ is New Zealand, go to around 45* south, and 180 longitude, a bit to the right of Australia. The uniform is RNZAF from the 1960s.

The usual little Dremel has a 1/8" collet, and a little cutter ,3/8" to 1/2" would work well, and you could put a thread in a hole less than 1" dia. I think you are thinking of a die grinder with the 1/4" collet chuck.

This is another way of cutting spirals, I have a nephew a cabinet maker who has one of these in his workshop at home.

So the uniform is from the Air Force from NZ. That is/was sold by Sears Roebuck,make spirals both ways(clockwise/counterclockwise). Should have bought one when they were at Sears 30-40 years ago. I image one can adjust it to move the wood a little quicker, router a little slower,with a smaller bit to make threads in an piece of wood. Routers in wood working come two way, some only have a 1/4" collet ,others(bigger ones/ 1/2" that can be sized down for 1/4" using an insert. Off topic: You used the " * " for the degree symbol,why don't we have more symbols on our keyboards?

[Mike PooleParticipant @mikepoole82104]

On a PC press and hold the ALT key and only on the number pad type 0176 and releases ALT, you should have a ° symbol. On iPhone and iPad tap and hold the Zero pad and slide finger to the pad that appears with the ° symbol remove finger from pad and it should insert the symbol.

Cool, Why not incorporate the check mark,degree symbols into keyboards?

It's because there are so many symbols you have to stop somewhere! Unicode defines about 137,000 characters, which would need a big keyboard!

Fortunately most symbols aren't required much. However, when unusual characters are needed, you can look them up and type them in as described by Mike. (Other magic methods available, including cut and paste.)

Engineers want symbols like ° ± ø ℃ μ Ω λ π

An accountant might want currency $ £ € ¥

Chess players ♔ ♛ ♘ ♜

and so on.

Also common for computers to be set-up to work entirely in a local language like Hebrew or Arabic. They don't use the Roman alphabet and are typed right to left. For them, our symbols are the weird ones! I'd guess £ is rarely used in the USA, apart from that and a few positional differences, a British Keyboard is almost identical to an American keyboard. Spelling and words can be excellent fun, for example, 'pants' in England are underpants aka shorts, and it's not acceptable to go outside in them.

I would see this ’ in paragraphs etc. in emails presumably from girls that want to date(?), those emails are Malware, I have Malwarebytes, detects Malware sites to protect my PC. WE have ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + = | { } [ ] : ; " ' ? / < > . Ω is Omega, £ for English pounds(?). About short pants? lol, Levi's/ denim shorts can be worn outside. Underpants or Linger'e obviously can't or should not be seen outside(not without people snickering). Now an Asian keyboard…most have up to 1000 characters.

[Duane AyresParticipant @duaneayres88517]

There is Null 'n void, Nil (not in location). To me # is tic-tac-toe/pound sign/number symbol, Not hash-tag
