Does anyone use a flip phone anymore? BTW, I prefer an analog meter

We have been using the same saw in our shop for a few years and it's working fine. Has anybody used the "optional" shaping blades? or used the saw in any other position than pictured? The RAS can be very versatile, I have only used them for basic cross cutting and every so often ripping.

Sounds as though NEMA is the only way to go. thanks

We recently purchased an older Hitachi B 600a band saw at auction. The motor was cooked so we added a 5hp 240v 3 phase motor with a new Square D " definite purpose" starter. The starter was sent from Amazon without a wiring diagram for the control circuit. I requested one from Amazons supplier...

I would be careful bolting a job box into your van, they will take the van/box. Ever think about a German Shepard? or move to a better neighborhood or outside lighting or wireless security to trigger your cell ph. Whatever you go with, have at least one backup

What is the cost difference between #6 and #8? my gut would say to go oversize, a welder or other equipment may be in your future?

Question: why are "definite purpose starters" near the bottom of the pile? I just purchased a Square D planning to use it with our Hitachi resaw with 3 ph 5hp motor.

A small amount of slope will not hurt anything, but potentially improve clean up. 1" in 10' gets my vote

My gut would tell me at least three things, settling from un compacted soil or another source, mortar too hard, too large an area without expansion joints.
