Safety Glasses have really come a long way baby

Recently you have to have noticed that safety glasses really have come a long way from the ones I remember wearing in shop class.  In fact they are so cool now and affordable I would even consider wearing them as my regular sunglasses.  Take a look at some of these styles and tell me if I am wrong.  Wouldn't you wear these on a motorcycle or at the beach?  We even have pink ones for the ladies.

Take a look at our selection at Light Tool Supply.

    About Us


    Michael Elson 
    President 
    Light Tool Supply





    For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by tools. As a young boy I worked summers packing orders and unloading trucks at my father's tool and supply company. After graduating from college, I immediately went to work full-time for my father and have been in this industry ever since.  Over the years I have learned this business inside and out and have spent many hours using that knowledge to improve the mail order supply business. I have seen that business change drastically over the years. The most dramatic change is from a business based on the paper catalog to one based on products sold via the internet. Subsequently, after many years of experience, I decided to create my own company to do what I know best. Light Tool Supply is now quickly bringing tools to loyal customers at the best prices possible.  I encourage you to use our vast experience as a resource for all your tooling needs.  If you see something on our website that you do not feel is the best price, please feel free to email me directly at michael@lighttoolsupply.com.  I also would like you to email me or my staff with any manufacturer's Part# from our long list of vendors at the bottom of this page for a low price quote. Additionally, do not hesitate to contact Light Tool Supply with any of our competitors' part numbers. It would be my pleasure to cross reference those part numbers with ours and beat their prices! I realize there are many companies to choose from; I hope you will choose Light Tool Supply.

    Thank you,
    Michael Elson
    President

    CLEAN IT UP AND WRING IT DRY



                                                           http://www.lighttoolsupply.com
    CLEAN IT UP AND WRING IT DRY
    George Schuetz, Mahr Federal Inc.
     There’s probably nothing in your shop that is made to the same high level of precision as your gage blocks, with their manufactured tolerances closer than a few millionths.  The Hubble Space Telescope gets mirror envy when it thinks about the smoothness and accuracy of a common gage block.  It requires just a few, but nonetheless important, care and maintenance measures to retain that extraordinary precision for years.

     Cleanliness is critical; it is Rule Number One.  Never wring, or use in any other way, gage blocks that have been exposed to chips, dust or dirt.  Blocks that have been exposed to cutting fluids must be cleaned, without fail, prior to wringing, or the metal particles held in suspension will surely wear the blocks’ surfaces.

     To clean blocks, use filtered kerosene, a commercial gage block cleaner or some other high-grade solvent that doesn’t leave a residue.  Wipe them dry with a lint-free tissue.  Even if you are taking “clean” blocks from their storage box, clean them again.  They’ve probably picked up lint or dust while in the case.

     Wring blocks together “dry.”  Rubbing them on your palms or wrists will deposit oils that may assist in bonding the blocks during a wring, but it may also transfer dirt and moisture that can damage the surfaces.  If you can’t get a good wring dry, use a commercial wringing solution, available at most trade stores.

     Don’t allow gage blocks to remain wrung together for long periods, because they can become permanently fused to each other.  If you use the same setup day after day, make sure you separate and then wring them daily.

     Frequently inspect the blocks for nicks, scratches or burrs, and repair or replace any damaged blocks before using them.  One advantage of combining blocks by the method described in last month’s column (by “zeroing” the dimensions in order, from the smallest decimal place to the largest) is that wear is randomly spread among the entire series of blocks.  But if even one of those blocks is damaged, then you will end up randomly transferring scratches among your entire collection.

     When you are through, make sure you always clean the blocks before putting them away in their case, and coat them with a non-corrosive oil, grease, or a commercial preservative.  If you don’t coat them, they will rust, even in the box.  Just think what corrosion will do to the surface of blocks when you are wringing them.

     Regard the case as part of the working system of gage blocks.  Return blocks to the proper slot in their case as soon as possible.  Beyond protecting them from dust, the case ensures that the blocks don’t get tossed haphazardly in a random box, where they can easily damage one another.  The labels on the case are much easier to read than the numbers etched on the blocks themselves, so you will spend less time looking for the right block.  And you will be able to see immediately from the empty slots what blocks are in use or missing.

     Keep the storage case scrupulously clean, both inside and out.  This will serve to remind you and other users that the gage blocks are not just hunks of metal.  We are talking precision instruments here, and they must be treated as such to retain that precision.

     Finally, don’t loan out individual blocks.  The minute a set is broken up, all of the above points are likely to go for naught.  You can no longer control the conditions under which those blocks may be used, and they may return to haunt you by transferring dirt, corrosion, or scratches to your other blocks.  That is, of course, if they return at all.
