Better Days what did you decide? I am in the market for the same thing, and have been looking at all of these compressors. I really want it to be quiet above all else.

Best to turn it off, if you have a line burst or something decides to leak overnight, your compressor will run for hours until it is noticed. A friend of mine has a hobby shop that he uses on weekends, didn't turn his compressor off, something started leaking (in a major way) and the compressor...

Hi everyone, I have my pits in and formed for an Atlas FM9SL hoist. I went to order it, and the Amgo XL-9F showed up as a suggested item. Upon further research it appears to be pretty similar to the FM9SL dimension wise (will fit in my existing pits, I think) and is over $1,000 less in cost...

Jesus where are you located? My shop does alignments all the time on stuff that looks 20x worse than this. Heat the nut until it is glowing bright red, and then hit it with probably a 22mm. Once the nut is backed off heat the tie rod end until it is also glowing bright red. Then use probably...

JC-Ohio, The floor drains were the hardest part of this endeavor. I had our concrete guys come in, and pack/level the class 5 (or whatever they used) so I had a baseline for height. My mistake was I underestimated how hard they could pack the floor. I had to rent a mini excavator to dig in...

I live in central MN, and had an electric heater in our old garage (16 x 24 attached) and we kept it fairly warm as that is where my wife parked to load the kids in the morning. But it cost A FORTUNE to run. Like + at least $100 per month, and that was with us keeping it at like 50, and then...

We did around 8" spacing. I ran a perimeter loop as close to the edge of our block as possible, and spaced that about 2-4" apart from each other. You may want to have it run as close as you can to underneath your overhead and entry doors. It helps keep ice from forming. The first hydronic...

Our shop has a Hunter TCX57 and we have done some pretty wide wheels. It is a very versatile machine and I would really recommend it if you can afford it.

Hi Everyone, I am doing a garage build, and need to work on positioning a FM9SL hoist. At my other shop I have a above ground Forward FS77 scissor hoist. I noticed they recommend 23 5/8 between the platforms to accept most vehicles. I see the FM9SL shows "up to 31 between the ramps" and one...

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I posted here. I now own a couple of commercial properties, and am going to be putting up a 30 x 65 PVC covered building to store my camper and pontoon in while the addition to my shop is built. My question is, has anyone had experience just setting the...

I just had a question on the best approach to adding a new electrical panel to my house. My wife and I plan to remodel the place over the next 5 years. Right now it has a 100A Pushmatic panel in the old attached garage which the previous owner converted to a living room. I would like to move...

How about one of these? 2.7MW should about do it....

Hello Everyone. I've been checking out the Forum for some time now and enjoy it quite a bit. I am closing on my first house October 12th, and it has a 3 stall detached garage. It is 22x29. Both the house and garage need work, and my guess is the house will come first. My Background: ASE...
