I’d admire everybody who is doing their own alignments. After replacing front end parts, I crudely try and line them up good enough to make it to a shop. I have been thinking about though. The prices they are getting for alignments is crazy……

I’m on 2 platforms currently - 20v DeWalt and m12 Milwaukee. I’ve been happy with Dewalt - I transitioned from 18v to 20v several years ago. But, I’m really impressed with the Milwaukee line - if I was making that change today, I would sure take a hard look at Milwaukee’s M18 line.

It feels like I have been on a lifelong journey to find the ultimate brake bleeder. Years ago I followed Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman’s Vacula recommendation. That thing was expensive and never worked right for me. I’m using the minty-vac when I’m alone and pedal pumping when I have a helper.

i went thru the same process 24 months ago. I went with a MP210 for MIG & TIG. But it felt like the TIG functionality was an afterthought on the 210 and I really wanted AC/DC capability so I also picked up a Squarewave 200. The prices have gone way up on both of those since I bought mine. It’s...

Does yours have 4 capacitors? (2 start & 2 run) that’s what mine has or had. My caps are all bad with illegible labels.

that’s what I’m planning to do with mine. I was surprised to find so little information on-line. I guess I’ve gotten spoiled!

I recently salvaged a champion pump and a 5 hp Ajax motor. I have not had any luck finding any detailed documentation. The number labels are missing/illegible on some of the leads. I may be time for me to find an electric motor shop.

If you have the space, I’d say go for it. But, that being said, I have a RT Unisaw with a Biesemeyer fence that I love....

I have essentially the exact same saw and set up since 2004. I love it - wouldn't change a thing. I'm a Forrest blade guy too. In my 12" sliding miter saw and the Unisaw. no doubt they are more expensive, but I think generally you get what you pay for. Enjoy making sawdust!!!

UTP = Unshielded Twisted Pair

I did the very same thing - I went the small breaker panel route.

Something else to keep in mind when your looking at matching the generator to the load you want to feed is the output de-rating due to the fuel switch from gasoline to LP or natural gas. Around 10% for LP and 20% for natural gas.

I'd recommend a Winco generator. I have had the 9000 Watt model for several years - it has worked flawlessly every time I have needed it. If the 12000 watt had been offered when I bought mine, I would have gone with it. http://www.wincogen.com/HPS9000VE/

I understand now. Even if you could overcome the challenges of modifying your duct work, if your system was sized correctly 5 years ago, it will likely not have enough capacity to accommodate the extra load. Adding a mini-split heat pump for the garage space might be a good solution.

The door between the main living space and the former garage is the door that could be under-cut.
