My experience is small compressors are the loudest. I concur, get a 60 or 80 gallon from Lowes or home Depot. I have a husky 60 gal, completely happy with it. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

1" is probably appropriate. You agisnt doing miter cuts? You could try thin tubing, not sure how that will go in the conduit bender. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I use xomety at work from time to time, seems to be decent so far. We have also used protolabs, I think they have great capabilities but my understanding is they are pretty pricey. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

A harbor freight wiring kit, or the entire light kit will do you just fine. Cheap and all new. Like said before, you would needed electric breaks anyways so that stuff is doing nothing for you. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Money wise sounds like you're doing great with current material prices. My buddy just bought a prefab shed that he has to put together, he is alsmot 2k into it lol. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

So I just made some camper brackets for my pickup that uses the same idea. I went with 2x2 for the reciever, and 1.5x1.5 for the portion that slides in. Now, even though they offer 2x2 in .24 wall( which would theoretically would be 1.520 ish inner dimension) , my understanding is the weld...

Another picture of the spindle pulley. Not sure exactly whats going on here. Appears to be some kind of adapter

Appreciate the input, I think your cost is appropriate. I'm seeing motors for 110 to 150. I guess a different question is, if I do this,will I end up with a better press than if i can buy for 250? Is Jziggy a member here? The other option is I could motor slap it and leave the belts...

I have sort of been doing it on purpose lately. Got a bunch of things to get done,so mixing it up keeps me motivated and allows for differnrt working conditions. Sometimes I want to crawl under the truck, other times I want to fix the heater dsn in my camper, I do need to organize my tool...

Hey Gents, Looking for some advice on a direction to go with my atlas benchtop Drill Press. So, as far as I can tell, this is from around the 1940's, I say this because the research I have done suggested that in the 50's, they changed the head design. I do really like this drill press, its...
