Hi guys this is not quite garage related as the problem is in my basement but you guys have been great with other questions so I thought I'd try here. I notice a drip leak from the piping from my furnace where it connects to the basement sink plumbing. I started to take some of it a part and...

Hi guys quick question. Is my mitre saw broke? Symptoms - I have been shocked a couple of time when using the saw and touch the plate. I have use a voltage tester on the plate while the saw is running and it beeps and goes red indicating volt on the plate (only when the saw is running) When...

I actually watched youtube video of an Everlast machine which had multiple welding types. Looked impressive. I can't remember the model number bu it was over 2k... I had a quick look at the HF Vulcan just out of curiosity (I didn't even look there originally due to my current cheapo unit) but...

I live less than 20 miles from an Eastwood store so getting repair, replacement parts or warranty issues I shouldn't have a problem with that. I'm looking to spend less than $1000 including welder and tank. I already have a helmet and gloves. I will look at getting a cart at a later date.

I think the Miller 211 might be out of my price range. At $1200 new then I have to get the tank it will be close to $1500 when all is said and done. I dont believe I will use it enough to justify paying that much.

Ive been looking at some of the used machines in my area and found a few Millermatic 135 for $475 Hobart Handler 210 MVP for $500 Couldn't find any Lincoln 100-SP's. You mentioned they were old. Do they make a current model?

Thanks for all the input... The consensus appears to be "stay away from the Eastwood machine" At the moment I am limited to 120V. What machines do your recommend and where to buy from? Thanks for helping!

good evening, couple of years ago a purchased a welder from Harbour Freight. I had coupons and go *** for under $90. I haven't really used it as every time I have it has given me terrible results. Lots of splatter. I bought it to do body panel work which I never got round to as I'm not...

I measured the springs using a digital gauge tool thing and got the following dimensions Inside diameter = 2 inches Width of 10 coils was 1.9 inches which means its 0.192 wire thickness With both springs being broken it is difficult to measure the total length but I got somewhere close to...

My current springs are 21.5" can I go with 22" or 21" as I can get them shipped quicker?

thanks for all the responses and advice. It is very much appreciated. I haven't had much of a chance to do a lot of research since this morning but I watch the video DDM Garage doors which is a very good and informative DIY video. Ive measured my springs and believe Ive figured out what I need...

Hi, This morning both of my torsion springs have split in half. I've done a little bit of research on how to replace them myself. Where is recommended to purchase the new springs? Im in NE Ohio Thanks, Dean
