I just purchased this jack after reading several reviews on here. I was about to purchase Harbor Freight's new low profile 2ton jack until I saw the welds in person. I don't expect much from any of the newer chinese jacks, but this one seems like a keeper. The Arcan is low enough to fit under...

I have been using their 18tpi wavy hardback which was recommended to me by a machinist friend. TSC has them for $14.99.

I look at them all day long, 5 days a week. :eyecrazy:

I use Olson blades on all my band saws and scroll saws. I didn't realize they made anything other than blades. I wonder if that saw is made in the USA like their blades.

Husky Pro. They also smell good.

Sometimes you just have to cheat... I think I need a bigger saw.:cool:

I now own every size of the Husky Pro screwdrivers. They are my favorite made in the USA screwdriver. They just feel right, and are incredibly strong. The pleasant scent is just a bonus!

Well I bought the HF one yesterday. I immediately changed the blade to a RIDGID 24tpi, and cleaned the gearbox out. I replaced the oil with Lucas 80w90. I shimmed the guides, and tightened the **** out of the tension. I have made about 40 cuts with it today on some heavy wall steel square...

That may be worth the wait. I was hoping to finish up my new control arms, and welding table tomorrow.

I guess I'm either going to pick up the HF red one, or the Clarke from TSC today. The Clarke looks just like the rest, except it has the slightly improved guides like the JET version. I don't know if that would make it worth $279 though. I can get the HF version for $199 right now with my 20%...

I have heard a lot of good stories after doing some mods, and getting a good blade. I have also seen two smoke the motor right out of the box. I was just hoping there was another sub $500 option out there other than a porta-band.

I don't think I'll be visiting Texas anytime soon.

I know most of the HF, Jet, Black Bull, Grizzly, etc. have the same casting. I've looked through most of the 4x6 enthusiast pages, but nobody talks about a different style. Is that the only 4x6 option out there? I'm trying to stay under $500. I have been told the green HF model is superior...

Really digging the secretary.:thumbup:

Negative. While they do offer a few additional models, they are all from the same line. I do highly recommend not using the oil/latex line. I prefer using the latex specific, or the oil specific models.
