Change the motors on machines to single phase and run 220

Stuffed a smaller tube into a zip lock bag. Hoping it keeps longer.

I honestly found the drill doctor to be more of a pain in the rump. Can you square the grinding wheel? This is gold standard. I have one at work but we rarely use for drill bits. Usually endmills.

Bench grinder and drill point gauge.

I dont normally wear gloves but I have been using these for messy jobs or oily stuff. Hard to find in my size lately but seem to hold up better than most

Whatever you do. DO NOT PUT IN DRAINS! Reason being. You will have to clean them out. Lose tools in drains or the dropped nuts etc. Crappy grate to cross with vehicles etc. Bent grate and tripping hazard. Kids trikes cant cross. Stagnant water Smell of rotting debris. Sweeping garage floor...

The only number you need to remember.

Never buy digital vernier, mic etc. Same with digital torque wrench, unless you like replacing batteries every time you use it. I prefer the dial verniers as my everyday verniers.

Build the shop on top of the hill. Lets water drain out. If needed add 2 feet of gravel first.

Construction company? Doesn't hurt to ask

Don't need that with manual. Our torch tracer basically uses a wiper motor with a magnet to trace the part to copy

We use a steel grate for our torch tracer. Something similar to floor grating. 1/4 bar about 3 inch wide. Similar to this Many scrap yards may have that as a drainage culvert or laying around as floor grates. Talk to the right guy and may be able to get it by the pound

I do alot of scrap processing for charity. I run a Milwaukee M18 sawsall. I got a pack of two batteries from Amazon and they don't hold a charge worth a crap. I just picked up the 8ah battery from home Depot today. I also picked up the milwaukee 1/2 impact for stubborn nuts. That thing has...

Be careful. You may end up with a sheet metal shop full of equipment. Don't ask how I know

One thing I have in my concrete that not many people seem to do. I laid a 6 inch pipe vertical as a floor anchor. Then stuck and old torsion bar thru the pipe to be sunk in the concrete. (Photo won't upload) Now I can wrap a chain around the bar to anchor. Also made a steel lid for the holes...

I run a similar style as 1wildrt I have 4 runs up with a drain (ball valve) at the bottom of each . I also used my old 80 gallon compressor tank as storage and cooling. Then made another run up and down with drains. I never see moisture now. About once a month I crack open the drains (valves)...

General machinist here. Drill point gauge is your friend. Take that drill dr and throw it in the trash. The one my father bought a few years back, he could not replace the wheel. So the bits never sharpened correctly. I bought a table grinder and a drill point gauge and dropped it off to...

Would they not build it with that 20% built in? No harbour freight in Canada. Maybe next trip to the states i will stop by

Looking for an affordable Torque wrench. Working on a dana 60 that needs 250 ft-lbs My torque wrench only goes to 150. Also want to be sure it does left hand threads as well because i ran into that once. Whats your choices?

Work on some old farm equipment or heavy construction equipment Same idea but manufactured. I commend him on the execution for less cost. Yes he may need to refine his welding or switch some parts out to have something better.

Planning an idea similar to this. Dangerous? Think about standing there with a wrench spinning a nut and something breaks. Not same explosive idea?

I have the milwaukee fuel pn#2767 impact. 1000 ft/lbs tightening and 1400 ft/lbs of loosening. Have not used it much but it has loosened some bolts that a 3/4 breaker bar with a 4 foot pipe would not break loose.

I have been running one for 4 or 5 years. Never had an issue. Still unsure if i would step up to a name brand version. If the consumables get discontinued i would move on to a hypertherm, if i decide to get another one.

Dont fear three phase motors. I swapped my home bridgeport for a 220 motor. (Also did a lathe) I was looking at doing a set of heads on my bridgeport but i could not justify the tooling to do one pair of heads and not much intention to do any more sets. Do not fear the chinese copies of...

I personally have a love for the swivel base vise to machine angles easier. I also like them with deep jaws for machining bigger shafts etc. Also take a good look at the threaded rod and look to see how easily it is to cleanout the metal shavings/chips. I have a few that get bound up and its...

I have 2 of the 52" versions at work for my tools. One for machinist stuff and the other for wrenching tools. I put one in my shopping cart at home depot and randomly they took $100 off. About a year later i put another in my cart because the first one was full, before i knew it they offered...

Just got a notification about this thread so i will update.

I went a bought a cheap harbor freight powder gun. Blasted the rims in the sandblasting cabinet (could use the regular sandblaster, just messier) Got the powder i wanted from prismatic powder plus clear coat. I use a kitchen oven to bake the rims. I can only do up to about 18" rims due to the...

I am in Ontario I been selling them for 1500 cdn

Have been building and selling a few of these finger press brake benders for 1/4 but handle 3/8 Recently posted one on fakebook and found out people would rather buy chinesium, but want to support north america. They would rather Amazon make the profit. *rolls eyes*
