When I say paint, it will literally be about 30 seconds max of spray paint at a time. This won't be heavy primer from a spray gun or anything like that. Just some primer and then a quick spritz of guide coat. All rattle can stuff. Not sure if that makes it less of a concern or not, but I just...

That sounds like a good idea. Are you talking about one from a commercial unit or something I could use from a home furnace. Do these move enough air for dust? I suppose what I should do is look at what CFM a dust collector uses and then match a squirrel cage fan to that requirement and answer...

I'm looking to build an extractor that has a central suction unit that vents to the outdoors and has a flexible hose that I can position next to whatever I'm working on. I need something that can pull dust from bodywork out of the air as well as welding fumes and paint fumes (mainly just rattle...

As a side story, I went into HD and didn't see any type of load bearing grout so I asked the "floor specialist" and he very condescendingly told me that there was no such thing and that grout was only for tile... Until he looked it up on google and found otherwise, hah.

This would probably explain the large hole in the center of the baseplate. I'm going to do just that. Unfortunately, the lift only needed one washer on one post and 2 on the other, so I'm nowhere near the 1/2" minimum. I hadn't seen the posts saying that until I already had my posts in place...

Lol this is something I would do. Nice to know I'm not the only ******* out there.

Good to know. Thanks!

What is the best method for getting the grout under the lift? So far I've only had time to get one post in place and the holes drilled and anchors placed. I only needed a single washer to get the post plumb so It'll be pretty tough to pack grout under there with the lift in place. Do you push it...

Nope, it's a used lift and either the shop before me didn't make it plumb, or they had a perfectly flat floor because when I took it out there were no shims underneath. I have a bunch of washers that came with the anchors I bought that I planned on using for shims. Think washers are a good idea...

I just bought my first lift for my shop and will be installing it over the next couple days. I've got a drain that runs the length of my garage right in the center so the concrete is sloped slightly. I'm going to need to space the lift up in some spots to get the posts plumb and I've been...
