Harbor fright Sells a foot pedal switch that works with that saw nicely. Be sure to the the on/off one, not the variable speed one. And there may also be a push on/push off style too. I wouldn't like that, but you might. You can also make a larger table, and stand yoursrlf. That's what I did...

I can't get the tractorbynet app to start anymore. Looked for updates, but I'm up to date. The error is something like "unknown response from server" or something like that. Now the only way I can check in is at the library.

We are cleaning out the sprinkler room at work and came across the old air dryer from the old shop. It was working when it was removed from service 17 years ago. I hate to see it go into the dumpster, but that's where it's going if I can't find some one who needs it. Hankison Corp. Model#...

I need to weld sime flat stock to a socket wrench. The steel will be .250"x2.0" HRS, and the back of the socket is just a little smaller than 2.0". I will grind all the plating off of the socket where the weld bead will go. I think 7018 rod will be OK, but I'm not sure about preheat. I plan...

I forgot to take a pic while I was using it, so you can't see the hardened cutting edge on the bottom edge of the leading 18"-20" of the front blade. It is welded on about 1/2" below the bottom of the front blade. That cutting edge goes on the ditch side of the road and scrapes up a little...

this is a pic of the milwalkee stand.

This is the result of a calculation. It shows .200" deflection for a point load of 500 lbs in the center of a 48" span with simple supports at each end.

I had to use the generator at my parents house last weekend to keep the heat on during the big blizzard. They don't keep much gas stored as it goes bad so quick now, and they haven't lost power for many years. So I went through what we had in short order warming up three apartments. The...

I think I'm getting my money's worth.

mine look threaded: now that i look closer, it's the stem that's threaded not the rim. my bad.

This is the on the other side if the high school from me.

Some pics: The box arrives: The welder and leads: The DINSE connector: 6011 top and 7018 bottom: Best weld I did that day, 7018:

So I got my new welder last Thursday and over this weekend I got a chance to mess around with it. The construction is more substantial than I expected. The front and back panels are of a much thicker and stronger plastic than the pictures would lead you to believe. The fit is tight, nothing...
