Abstract: A CNC machine tool has a plurality of collet chucks in a fixture that requires loading workpieces in these collets by hand. The workpieces are first assembled on a loading bar or holder so they can be collectively loaded in the ganged collet chuck for machining in the CNC machine. The holder has spaced stations, and each station includes a standard base adapter and an individualized parts adapter that fits onto the base adapter. Each parts adapter will be configured to accept a part to be machined.

Abstract: Three versions of paint can strainers share common features, including an annular adaptor fitted to the top of a paint can and a cup-shaped filter carried by the adaptor so as to be pushed down into a partially full paint can to a position where it is supported by the adaptor from the paint can lid. Paint previous screening allows the paint, but not particles of hardened paint, or other impurities, to pass into the cupshaped filter. A wipe edge may be provided on the inside edge of the adaptor. A pour spout might also be molded into the adaptor.
