TSC sells a small metal lathe that I've looked at several time, does anyone have any experiance with this model? http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_44134_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1

I use Craftesman line wrenches with good results, but than again 98% of my tools are Craftsman as I can't see spending the extra money on S.O., Mac. or any other "truck" brand.

The Manual calls for a 59 1/2' blade, which is the same size metal cutting blade I got. Thats the problem I'm having, I bought the "proper" size blade for it, just the one I bought seems to be about 1/8" to short to go unto to wheels even with all the guides and such adjusted to the miniumam...

I made mine 4' wx 2'd by 36" high and find they work good for me. I also made a roll around one the 4' square by 36" tall. I also have 2 kitcken base cabinets that I use, one thats 6' long and one thats 3' long.

I just picked up a 9" bandsaw that take a 59 1/2" blade that was set up to cut wood. I went to Home Depot and bought a few blades the same size to cut metal, but when i got home, they wouldn't fit. I have all the adjustment set to the minimum and still no luck getting it on. Anyone know of a...

Welcome to the group. Theres alot of good people and outragous garages on this site to learn from. Where bouts are you in NE Oh.? I'm over outside Sandusky myself.

Mine loads slow all the time too. I just figured it was the weather playing games at times.

These are plans for my 2 car garage come springtime. Plan on building a clean room for assembling engine/ trannies and such plus have a small fab. area off to the side. Have a new metal band saw coming in on Wed. that'll be a big help making brackets and such. Just need the room and money to...

Just picked up two from my wish list, a metal bandsaw and a 1 1/4 brad nailer. Picking up a bigger nailer next weekend. Typically when I see tools on sale I just go ahead and pick them up, provided I have the money too.

I have a 125pc set up from Sams Club plus hydrogenproxide? in the cabinets over my workbench. Lucky haven't had to use it in 3 years. Plus years ago took a Red Cross cpr class, though I should take it again to refresh my memory.

I looked at that one as well, but ended up buying their 46" model one in black, seems to be well made. Now just have to buy more tools to finish filling the drawers :) Also, at my Sams club that was only $700 and change.

I use one like this that I got from A.Z. and it seems to do a good job for $80. Sure bets spending hundreds of dollars for something that will do the same thing.

I have their wiring kit and haven't had a problem with it yet, but I only use it for short runs (less than a foot) for stuff like grounding or hooking up gauge lighting. I won't trust it to run from the alt. to battery or any other high amp draw. And as Chris said, never had a problem with it...

I'm looking at buying a tube bender and notcher. Anyone have a cloe where I might be able to get them on a budget? Been looking at the ones HF sells but not sure how good their made. Or, does anyone live in Ohio that might have one willing to rent out? Any help would be apperciated.

I vote for Craftsman also. Started with a 90 some-odd set years ago and now have 3 tool boxs of tools.
