    The repurposing thread

    I have two drill presses, one of these HF ones (https://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-16-speed-floor-drill-press-38144.html) and one clone of it, but 15 years or so older. The HF one is barely used but has a worn out taper due to me trying to mill with it. The older one is still in good...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    For the death rattle, check your track bar. When I did a 3" lift on my '98, I forgot to add the metal bushing in the new track bar bracket. This allowed the bracket to move around a little when driving. After a few hundred miles, it would start to death rattle at about 50 mph. I eventually...

    Air Compressor Not Gaining Pressure

    Ever since we moved a few months ago, my little craftsman air compressor wont go above 45 PSI. I've checked the pressure relief valve, which works and closes; checked the pressure regulator, it releases when cranked to 45psi or below; and checked for obvious leaks or cracks. What am I missing?

    DIY dust cyclone/separator?

    Yup, buy one. I recently picked up one from Rockler. Works pretty well for sawdust. Home depot also started carrying this too: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dustopper-High-Efficiency-Dust-Separator-12-in-dia-with-2-5-in-hose-36-in-long-HD12/302643445

    6" Pot Light Upgrade

    Thanks Jim and CD. Looks like Home Depot has stopped carrying the style, but Lowe's has them. I like the waffle style but can justify 3x the price when swapping out 28 of them.... Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    6" Pot Light Upgrade

    I've got 28 of these beauty's that we want to replace from the old black rim style incandescent to an integrated LED style. The problem I'm finding is that Home Depot likes to sell only one real style (different name, built in the same factory) with the long springs. According to the manuals...

    Show us your welding projects

    Somewhat finished a new cart for my diversion 180. Plasma cut 1/4 with tab and key features. I'll be adding stained wood to the inside of the frame along with drawers to hold all the cables and consumables. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    The 120v Welder Poll 2018

    +1 for Miller. I love my Diversion 180, and have had great experience with miller at work. With that said, Miller and Hobart are basically the same.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    **New Garage Alert** was able to get things moved around enough to start installing a set of open cabinets I built to flank both sides of my toolbox and above. Got the first of two Costco LED fixtures up yesterday, added one more today. Also got the cabinet installed, leveled, and secured to...
