Had been wanting to streamline my hardware storage and needed some more capacity so finally got around to building some racks. Lots lof inspiration from Garage Journal (thanks!) and put my own spin on them. I wanted to keep them simple (and cheap) so no fancy drawer slides, but I chose to build...

15% off select brands ($100 min): H8L1D4Y15D429Z3 doesn't work for any of my items, so if anybody has an unrestricted coup, that would be much appreciated! Thanks

Anyone have a coupon they'd be willing to share? Please PM if so!

Ordered. Thank you!!

Anyone have any valid codes at the moment? I have a $1400 cart that would love to score a discount on. Thanks!

Mcmaster has never been anything but great for my business and personal needs. Up front shipping quote would be nice, but I have also ordered enough and shipped enough to know that the rates they are charging are reasonable, heavily discounted UPS rates. I have only had a few issues over the...

I would guess that it is one of the following issues based on that cut pattern: 1) blade is worn poorly- one side of teeth is sharper and cut strays towards that side 2) blade guide(s) aren't set properly- if the blade guides are too loose the blade will stray also. One of each bearing pair has...

I have the ABS 105 and have been (ab)using it for a couple years now, at times for manufacturing. While it's not industrial saw in build quality nor capacity, I would highly recommend. I have a couple comments/thoughts after reading through this thread: 1) ABS vs non ABS- the ABS mechanism is...

have you seen these? Kinda a compromise between the 2.

I liked seeing the creativity with the garage space, but cant blame ya for stepping up to a bigger shop. I'm in a similar boat right now. I'm curious to see the new space, can you post up some pictures?

Motorhead Extraordinaire?

OP- I have tried one of those (dont remember the tooth count) and it worked okay. It's slow, still makes a mess, expensive, and doesnt last long. I tried to use it on some thick material and it died real quick. Although, I bet if you babied it on thinner gauge material, it might survive for a...

Glad I could help! Didnt know they ever sold them at princess auto. Here's a few other sources that I've found for this size of bandsaw blades: https://amzn.com/B018Z9LG3C http://www.mcmaster.com/#4179a26/=14jdm39 and some of the other bandsaw blade online stores will let you make custom...
