    Roll up door fitment

    On the side door it appears that your header for the door opening is above the bottom of the rolled up door. For this door/opening the header should be lower or the door and side rails should be higher. The upper door stopper on the side rails should be above the door header, this keeps the...

    Oil in bolt hole of 2 post lift. One bolt accidently pull out!

    Oil floats on water, if the hole is not all the way through the slab then fill it with water for a few days, it will slowly draw out any oil in the pores of the concrete for you and the free oil will then float to the the top of the water to be cleaned up.

    Metal Lathe How to?

    Safety First: A few tips. Safety glasses or face shield. No loose hair anywhere near rotating parts. Never leave chuck key in the chuck, if you take your hand away from the chuck for any reason take out the chuck key. Swarf is quite often razor sharp, avoid handling it. Cheers Jamie
