Made from scraps, taking advantage of gravity to keep in place. Quick to grab as needed

Added a shelf, holster for my miter gauge and a rolling base. I almost forgot, my table was just slightly tweaked, causing the miter gauge to hang up as it slid across. I used a 13" long scrap of 1/2" bar and drilled and tapped each end. Used a couple of socket head cap screws that fit inside...

Quill return spring: If you go to eBay and search drill press spring you may be able to find what you need. There are a number of vendors listing them. Good hunting.

I used string and vacuum on some and fish tape on others and pulled everything by myself except 1 run. Some were easy and I struggled with others, but the end result is fantastic. Short runs, very clean and neat job.

Here's my 2 cents. 1. Only buy the Ridgid. They are just better. Last longer and much more powerful. 2. I would buy the wall mounted one. Getting it off the floor and having a place to wrap the hoses up is great. You can lift it off the wall and take it wherever else you need to use it...

I have several of the Seville wall cabinets from Sam's club. I've been very happy with them and I think they are a great value. Painted steel cabinet with a stainless door.

If I had the opportunity to buy that for$25 KNOWING it was cracked, I would have been on that deal like a duck on a June bug. That has to be a casting defect. Even the handle looks dead nuts straight. Spend the money on the right welder and enjoy that bad boy for the rest of your life.

I've had a Teco 240v single to 3 phase on my mill for about 15 years and another on my South Bend lathe for about 10 years in a home shop environment. I had a rotary single to 3 phase before and hated it. I have been so happy with the Teco's and the ability to change rpm by turning the knob...

"refurbishment"? You must mean touch up paint. That thing is cherry!

If it's not yet delivered, pay the premium for a insulated high cube

I built a 30x40 with under slab pvc stubbed up under the building girt. I made 12 home runs fanned out to all parts of the building perimeter. Brought all of them into a trough. It made for a first class job by myself. The only conduit overhead is for lights, a exhaust fan and water heater...

If this is a workshop where you are not constantly opening the door for a vehicle, why not considered a jackshaft chain lift? Absolutely dependable, cheap, more secure than a remote control operator.

I did a 12 k Pioneer mini split a few months ago. I bought the flaring tool, gauges and vacuum. About $200 for the tools. The only thing I didn't do a pro would is pressure test the lines with nitrogen. I practiced several times cutting and flaring until I had confidence in the flares and...

Saw this light used on a drill press by Hondo. Bought it on Amazon for $13. Removed the clip base and made my own and used a couple of 1 hole EMT clips to mount the switch. Not beautiful but boy does it get light just where I need it.

I wish I had used FrameSaver 11 years ago. I have one I'm going to need to replace the frame on because I didn't. The bottom 6" or so of the door frame is synthetic so it won't rot.
