Not sure how they will work out, but going to try these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXF7D12B?tag=atomicindus08-20

You can also switch over to a deep socket for more length without going to an extension. Sometimes the deeps fall right inbetween a normal socket and adding the short extension.

I just pulled that one for example. There are numerous sizes and weight capacities available with other sized thread requirements. With just getting the pads, one can source all thread of the correct size locally and not have to lift the lathe a huge amount to install. No need for a 4+" stud, if...

Sheet sanders existed decades before the multi tools and triangle adapters were ever thought of.... Even RO's are new compared to them.

HP: Since you are working with a sloped floor, you want leveling pads that are like these. They swivel some, and have an elastomer pad on the bottom as well. The come in various stem sizes, diameters and weight limitations. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/62127832

That's only page one of the document. Page two shows that they go to -48, which is a 3 1/2" x 3 5/8". It also has the heat treat, plating and torque requirements. The -47 has to withstand all most 800 pound/feet.....

One of those hangars have been my work office for more than 20 years now. :cool:

Light colors, in satin or semi-gloss tend to work the best for spaces where there's lots of work going on. They help reflect light without being too mirror-like, are easy to clean spills from and don't hide things that fall. The downside is that anything that spills and stains will standout if...

Change over to a #10 screw, two washers and a locknut. Just don't tighten down too far and let the door flap.

Bennylava: Here's one being laid. In this case, the shop owner doesn't want it to be perfectly flat, so it has some undulation to it.

That's actually a molder/planer. Swap the planing blades out for molder profiles and you can make moldings.

We've got a couple of these kits at work and they seem to cover everything we need: https://www.toolsid.com/lincoln/grease-gun-accessory-set-mpn-58000.html

Then find me a better one... The Lynx is considered a production tool, and beyond that, you get into units with specific chain size dies. The EZ Breaker manual unit runs about $600, then you have to buy each die set at about $300 each. All the other bench mounted tools I've found, won't do...

Scratches damage coatings, which can lead to rust or corrosion. Where these are installed, it would take from hours to days of work to simply be able to inspect them and therefore a large expense. They get lubircated well on install and some only can be seen at time of major airframe repair or...
