actually the newer recomendation is 1/10, not 1/7 - this should help your education - Fuel your safety knowledge - acetylene Cylinder size chart - https://www.mplso2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/MO2-Cylinder-Sizing-Chart.pdf My o/a set has the biggest single acetylene tank available, and...

maybe about 20 years ago Devilbys moved to Canada and became Dev-Aire - This is the version I bought about 15 years ago https://www.dvsystems.com/en-us/air-compressors/reciprocating-compressors/5-10-hp/is5 Mine is 5 horse (240 volt Baldor) - no probs so far, I use it til I get tired, NOT the...

At least a few of your questions are covered in the PDF I linked to earlier https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/mm5/thread_guide.pdf Also, some adapters are available in 3 different lengths - typically part #'s have either NO extension or L, or LL added onto the part # ... Steve

I've bought close to $3k in hydraulics from Discount (the amazon link) with NO PROBLEMS, but you can't seem to get to them thru the amazon link - here's how to make SURE you're getting the right stuff - Discount Hydraulic Hose | Your Online Hydraulic Shop So far (over 10 years) I've not been...

Guys, thanks for the kind words; My next mod (eventually) for the crane is to get rid of the hokey "cam-like" height adjustments - mine worked exactly ONCE, then froze up - the hole spacing on the posts is (IIRC) 6", so you can get 3 holes of lift before needing another movement (and another...

I changed the 5" beam on my HF crane to a 6", slightly wider than original beam. Hold-downs can be moved anywhere along the beam plus added better triangle braces - the new beam is 12' long, so inside posts can be up to a little over 10'. By upping the beam cross-section I didn't need to lower...

Nice setup; but it shouldn't matter unless you're doing miter or bevel cuts... Steve

I keep my Evo380 in the container where most of my longer steel is stored, along with one of my 5x6 bandsaws - the two things that make it bearable are ear muffs, and one of these https://www.harborfreight.com/30-inch-magnetic-sweeper-with-wheels-93245.html My "MDVT" (MagDrillViseTable) is in...

This was written by a friend of mine, I've shared moderation duties with him on a couple of sites - I've been studying acoustics for about 20 years and he's light years ahead of me - including engineering sound stages for Spielberg (him, NOT me...)...

I have several of these, no complaints in about 20 years; https://www.rockler.com/power-tool-mobile-base-hardware most of mine I used 1-1/2" square tube instead of 2x2 wood - one has a large "dead" freezer (sealed cabinet storage), others are 3 router tables, woodwork drll press, PM66 saw...

I put 8" Colsons on my HF crane, rated 1000# each - unfortunately no longer in stock here https://www.surpluscenter.com/Wheels/Casters/Plate-Casters/8x2-Colson-Polyurethane-Swivel-Plate-Caster-1-5028-S.axd But Colson may be available elsewhere; good luck... Steve

lookin' good; glad you mentioned "fun", the other good news - my old second hand jd 36" had a kawasaki 14 hp single that I couldn't kill with a big stick, but I have about 3 of my 10 acres to keep knocked down so I bought the Cub RZT50 - it was the ONLY one at HD that had a Kawasaki twin. All...

Same reason that (usually) airplanes don't fall out of the sky - the longer path across the top surface of the wing causes that flow to be faster, which causes less pressure, therefore lift - ... Steve

Not sure if it's frowned on, guess I'll find out - but here's yer "roll cage" and a few other "oddities" from about 6 years ago - https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/container-weld-shop-build.387658/page-20 Sorry, too much work to re-post dozens of pics, + that link explains most of...

That's your clue - those are both electrolytic capacitors, one is the "start" capacitor, the other is the "run" capacitor - electrolytics do NOT like to be un-powered for long periods of time, their "electrolyte" will dry out and seriously lower the REAL capacitance - The white one is your "run"...
