What's your favorite dust collector system, and why? I'm looking for a reliable system to keep woodworking dust in my garage at a minimum. I have a 20' x 20' x 8' filtration unit and it still gets really dusty. I'm concerned about the air quality I have to breathe in both the garage and the...

Thanks guys for the reply. I'll look into those. I just found out Sears' Craftsman 39 pc. Standard Tap and Die Set are on sale for $59.99. Thoughts? http://www.sears.com/craftsman-39-pc-standard-tap-and-die-set/p-00952382000P?unitNo=0001121&sellerId=SEARS&prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2

What's your favorite tap and die set, and why? I'm looking for a reliable set, up to 1/2", that will last me a lifetime. Trying to avoid buying a junk. I need them for fabrication jobs. I'm done with Harbor Freight, almost everything I've bought from there broke. Many thanks :bounce:

Yeah, pretty much. Family and friends come to me when they need something fixed so I'm looking for ways to do the job in less time. Maybe it'll lead to something better, like starting a small business on side.

Thats over twice as much as I thought. Thanks for clearing up the prices. Jeez, those bundles are expensive. Do you think I'll I get away with an aftermarket scan tool, like OTC pegasus, Genisys, Task Master, etc.? I only need to be able to pinpoint the electronic faulty within a few...

No larger than 4'x4' carbon and stainless, around 3/32" thick.

Been working with sheet metal for a while now. I'm looking for a machine that will cut sheet metal and plate because at some point I'd like to stop relying on laser vendors to cut them for me. I'm taking a couple classes at community college this year to learn electronics/microcontroller so I...

Mostly for GM automobiles. I'm going to use it next week on 2004 2.2L Chevy S10 and 2000 Saturn SC3. Lang is wayyy out of my price range. Why so high?

I'm looking to buy a fuel pressure gauge/tester for automobiles, maybe OTC or Actron. Thoughts? And I want to find out which one to avoid. Does anyone know if I need to get adapters too? OTC http://amzn.com/B000R5IASC Actron http://amzn.com/B0009XQUKC Many Thanks

I couldn't find the $250 one. Will you share the link?

There are a bunch on the market.. and they are kind of expensive. I can't tell which is junk, I just need one that is accurate enough to get the jobs done. Mainly for home mechanic, like battery/components testing, or can I do with multimeter alone just fine? Thanks

I want to learn how to make rivets similar to this. The riveted pivot points has to be able to expand and contract with ease, yet maintain precise settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Webpage, youtube, book, or whatever will be greatly appreciated. Pictures from equal...

Very beautiful table! Another project coming up soon? You should, you have the skills!

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to use pulleys? Like this
