    HVAC options and ideas

    Forgive me if I use the wrong terms, not an HVAC guy. I will not be doing the install but would like to be educated on my options so I don't end up with something I will be unhappy with. Here is what I have. 165' x 60' Morton building. It is nearly 25 years old. 45 x 60 on the east end is 4...

    Lets talk walk-behind floor scrubbers

    After shopping for a used one for while I pulled the trigger on this one. https://www.cleanfreak.com/equipment/floor/scrubbers/walk-behind/dura-18-cord-electric-automatic-floor-scrubber.html I used to rent one regularly for spring cleaning but thought it would be nice to have permanently. It...

    Best 6 x 48 Belt Sander?

    They put a wear pad of some sort on it to protect the steel I suppose. It wore into a wavy mess over time making it nearly useless for truing up a straight edge.

    Best 6 x 48 Belt Sander?

    I like that one from ******** better than the Kalamazoo but have not used either one. I have a variable speed Burr King 760 and I love that feature. Hopefully tricktools has the ******** one at PRI next weekend, I would like to see it. I wonder what drives the contact wheel on the ********...

    Why is round material available in pipe and inch/mm sizing ?

    Pipe is measured on the ID. Tube is measured on the OD. Are you asking why both of those exist?

    Tools for sanding a bunch of stainless tube?

    The aluminum is a pair of alternator nose cone dress up things I had laying around. The wheel is urethane. It is all on a universal drive mandrel with a 1/4-20 bolt.....again, all stuff I had laying around. I cobbled it for something I wanted to do and 4 years later I still use it. It tracks...

    Tools for sanding a bunch of stainless tube?

    I don't have any experience with the 150 dollar ones but I cobbled together a drive wheel for my long shank die grinder and do it like this.

    Input on new tool box(es)/storage.

    If you are happy with your KRL, I would add a pair of lockers to it. If you don't have to lock your stuff up, you can build a simple structure and put up some wall control pegboard between the two lockers.

    Autobody Saw Blades

    These are what I have been using. https://industrialtool.com/sterling-pneu-saw-air-saw-blades.html They are as good as the best ones I have used and very reasonably priced.

    Wheel Stands - Stackable.

    Meh. Build the ones out of 2x4s they are cheap, more than adequate, lightweight, and easy to store. There is no downside. I have a set here. I built them for a total of 12" tall (at the bottom of the tire) but they are two separate pieces, the first stack goes to 6"

    Wheel Stands - Stackable.

    You build the 2x4 stands in two halve that interlock. Lift to the first stack and then crib the jack up or use a block and then go to the second stack. I feel that 12" is the perfect height for wheel stands.
