Change the batteries, low power will cause intermitent problems.

Pawn it! Borrow a couple of bucks against the bigger stuff and the pawn shop will put it in inside secured storage. Just don't forget to renew the pawn or pick it up on time.

Ok, so I talked to my supplier - yes I can get it filled. But no it's not legal. I just purchased this building as a cold storage for my toys, so I will pass on the gas tank for now and see how I actually use the space. I can install the tank outside as long as I use explosion proof electric...

I called my local fastenal and they ordered it in for me, shipping is $5 transfer fee.

Thanks for the input guys. I have a call in to my supplier and will most likely go with his recommendation or abandon the idea.

1. I am located in Wisconin 2. I want to used a sealed tank that vents directly outside. I plan on filling the vehicles outside via a hose. 3. This is a cold storage building with no work performed inside or out. 4. We currently have diesel inside at another location (250 gallons) and we have...

Mine has been the driving force to making my shop dreams come true! Two years ago she picked a new house with a 28x48 4 car heated garage and this year she convinced me I was being too cheap and nudged me to up my offer on the 42x60x16 pole building in the industrial park that backs up to our...

I have a 500 gallon oil tank left over from a quick- lube I closed. I want to put it in my 40x60 pole building and use it for gas in my DD and toys. I would vent the tank outside and pump it out with a 12v gas pump. Is anyone else doing anything like this (inside)? Any other thoughts or concerns?

As an insurance adjuster, I realize that I have dozens of things that *could* fail and start fire. My main concern isn't unattended charging but battery life. I am (probably wrongly) putting my faith in the Milwaukee engineers design of the charger to monitor the process and battery...

My dad uses Mikita Lxt and swears by it. I have Milwaukee M18 and find it performs as well or better than the Makita. On the plus side Milwaukee seems to on sale more often and has a bigger line up. I recommend going with which ever is easier to find near you, you will be happy with either.

Quick and dirty charging station for my M18 batteries. Cord holder is 2" black plastic pipe.

The only bolt I have messed with is the bleeder on the vise cylinder and it was 7mm. More info is that the gearbox is a Boston Gear 300 series. - should have included that in my first post.

Thanks Dr_clyde. I spent hours looking thru google images and agree with your assessment. I can't find any numbers or stampings on the machine but I will keep looking. I am trying to repower this saw and I am thinking a 1 or 1 1/2hp 1750rpm motor and haven't started to determine the pulley...

Hey forum friends! I need help identifying this horizontal band saw. Its missing the original motor and there are no name plates anywhere. The capacity is approx 8" x 12". The arm raises and lowers via a hydraulic pump and it has a hydraulic vise. I picked this up at an auction this summer...

I moved the deep drawers from my top boxes to the bottom and move two shallow drawers up.
