    LED retrofit for 8 ft fixtures

    Bert, Sorry I didn't have this before but I had to go look as I wasn't sure. I have the HO bulbs in mine. I think I would like to change over to the 4 48" bulbs in these fixtures instead of the 8 ft bulbs. popper John Lynch

    LED retrofit for 8 ft fixtures

    Want to retrofit my 2 bulb 8 ft florescent fixtures to LED. Anyone have any experience with this is there a kit available. I found a lot of info and kits for 4 ft fixtures but not much on 8 ft. The present fixtures are hard wired in conduit so I would just really like to convert these. Thank...

    EZ Creeper?

    I know there are many more guys out there that could benefit from items like this and other similar products. I'm suprised there aren't more choices on the market. The Human Hoist would be a great addition for many people or even shops but the cost is just to high for most people, myself...

    EZ Creeper?

    I'm seriously thinking about one. Like I said having two knees replaced in 2015, then having some serious lower back issues in the past year has made it hard to get up off the floor or creeper. I think I could deal with the extra height of the unit as long as it performs as stated. The cost is...

    EZ Creeper?

    I don't have clearance for a taller lift but I do have a Quickjack BL-5000 that works very well. The EZ Creepers height is 7" as compared to my Matco standard creeper so that is a concern, although with my extensions on my Quickjack I believe I will still have enough height. popper John Lynch

    Swag table for Milwaukee portaband ?

    Well they got back to me and said they have a plate that will work and will sell it to me for $10.00. So I ordered it and we'll see how it works. One problem is that my plate is 1/4" and the new one is 3/16 so I will have to shim it up, no biggie! I'll let you know when I get it and hopefully it...

    Swag table for Milwaukee portaband ?

    After going on their website mine is quite a bit different from the one they offer now. My fence slide actually bolts on to the side. And the plate is cut different. Not sure what is up now. :mad: popper John Lynch

    Swag table for Milwaukee portaband ?

    I have the 6230 Milwaukee. The rip fence was from them. Not sure of what version I have but as I think about it it could be up to 4 years old. They have sent me an email and asked what model saw I have so I'm hoping for a positive outcome. popper John Lynch

    Swag table for Milwaukee portaband ?

    I purchased a Swag-Off-Road table for my Milwaukee Deep cut portaband saw a couple of years ago. Problem is it doesn't mount the saw parallel with the table and when I use the rip fence I purchased with it it is way off from cutting straight. Have they changed anything or is anyone experiencing...
