No, it's cast and the piece that broke off isn't round anymore. I've found that Jet and many others re-branded this same bandsaw. The current Harbor Freight BS looks very close but I can't find a place to buy replacement parts yet.

Anyone know if the upper wheel on a Porter Cable 14" bandsaw will fit a BS14002 14" Ridgid Bandsaw. I dropped my wheel putting on new tires this afternoon and busted a chunk of the wheel edge off. All the parts websites show it as unavailable and obsolete. Ereplacement has one available for a...

Any help finding a bolster plate for it?

Any help identifying this arbor press? Not sure the rating, maybe 3 ton. I really just need the plate.

Looking for a new compressor belt for an old Charge Air Pro 5hp 60gal. I've searched online with no results. Last option going to the auto parts store and comparing?

You would think so anyway, being that most aircraft run AC and DC. Still learning house wiring. I'm trying to make it harder than it really is. Diagram tells me I was going in the right direction. I was able to get several lights done tonight, have a friend coming over to inspect this week...

I'm wanting to run two banks of lights, both on their own switches, from the same breaker. Possible? So, I'll have two switches somehow powered by the same breaker, each running a different bank of lights. Can someone draw some type of diagram to help me?

Just caught the rerun episode of your front yard make over on DIY. Great show as always, even cooler that I had seen more of the house than they filmed. I was telling my wife about it the whole show!

What if CFL bulbs were used instead, would that be worth the up front cost of the bulbs. Less energy usage and heat.

Snap in wire clamp? Can someone post a link or picture?

Show off your garage lighting with a description. So many lighting questions coming up all the time and what not. Everyone has a better idea than the next guy, so they think. Let's keep the debates down to a minimum.

At this point there is no plan on insulating the garage. I've been through 2 summers here in Alabama with out a/c, just using a fan. The shop has doors on both ends, so I almost always have a decent breeze. My electrician came out Friday and ran the wiring from my main panel in the garage to a...

Kind of shocked me when I opened the post and my shop came up. Thank you by the way. I don't plan on insulating or skinning the interior walls. If I were to do so, I'd use bat insulation and no clue on the skin. Shiny corrugated tin if I could afford it later. I'll use pvc conduit. The line is...

I'm having a sub panel installed in my metal building. The only task I have in the meter is to mount the box where I want it. The frame is 5ft on center, all metal framing. What is the best way to mount the panel? Pictures please..
