The motor is three phase. And what do you mean by two speed drive? Actually with you narrating I’m thinking I will try doing this mechanical. It has seven belts and you mentioning “quad power belts” it sounds like It could transfer power better. the amount of belts I could reduce from seven...

I have a Saw which I purchased. I’m finally going to get around to rebuilding soon. Just wanna show you for some inspiration if there’s anything that you have noticed with similar saws. It’s a beast. I can double check, but I think it’s 12 inch blade. And maybe 5 hp motor. Has any of you used...

Here is some photos of the progress. Also I did notice it had a ton of condensation dripping. It was Very cold around freezing and then the sun starts to hit it and immediately it starts forming droplets of water dripping from under the roof and under the steel. I took some photos and you can...

Thanks guys. I am going to run the saw front to back and side to side perfectly level for a while. But sooner or later when I get the back fence installed on the infeed and outfeed done. I’ll tilt/lean it back and see if it prevent having always having to push material against the fence. The...

I was installing my model 1600 Ellis bandsaw. I’m making the infeed and out feed perfectly level. When I was checking front to back level on the bandsaw. It actually seems made from the manufacture so it’s slightly leaned back. So in theory as you slide the material in, gravity will naturally...

Making progress. Still have one left. *UPDATE* Hey everyone I appreciate all the help you have given me. I had some time this weekend. I had to calculate snow load. My PE told my 25lbs per sq ft. The roof I cut it to 8ft deep. I basically derated one shelf below. To have. The extra weight...

I bought a 100’ roll of Harriscos Llc rubber rope and they have what’s called sj hooks. You can adjust the length on the fly and when I’m available I’ve made cords for all sorts of projects. Battery hold downs. Tarps. Storage holding. Pallets. And for my vehicles. Doesn’t take long to thread the...

What I’m planning on doing is hanging a 8 foot tall privacy mesh black screen. It’s the kind that you see around construction sites on temporary fences. Since it’s 8 foot tall it will be 8 feet from the ground because the rack is 16 foot tall. You will be able to walk underneath it. Do you think...

Man thank you for mentioning primer. I’ve been thinking in my head about it and that’s a great solution. Benefits is I already prime stuff before I paint. Will help the “new to me rack” from getting all the bleeding rust on it. This is the steps I’m thinking, what’s your thoughts on this: 1...

Yes! I’ve always thought about stuff going through the cabs of trucks. Terrible way to go https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BMgTEK3Ph/?mibextid=uSdriS

Have you noticed it will adhere. What prep do you think i could get away with before rolling on some of my already rusty stuff. My go to tool is a grinder with 5” wire wheel and 5” cubitron 987c 80 & 36grit. Thanks, That’s good to hear because I’ve kind of had horse blinders on. thinking i need...

Do you know what the steel mills coat the steel with? I’m sure they’ve done their research

Do you know what the mill coats steel with.

Yea you have a gorgeous rack. I’m starting to think about the best type of oil I want to use. My only worry is I don’t wanna have to strip it when I need to paint. And when I weld and grind, I don’t especially want to get cancer from some kind of toxic fume haha. Have you been using any thing...

This is a huge help. I’ve always noticed the rust isn’t really aggressive at my property. I just want to prevent it from getting worse. On the front and back wall, I’m gonna do that mesh privacy screen that they use on fences. I think that will help with ventilation and so a solid tarp won’t...
