All the round stock is schedule 40 black iron pipe, correct? What's the best method of ensuring the ends of your cuts are perfectly flat/square? I have a few pieces I've cut that I need to use as bearing drivers.

Do you have any pictures of these? I'd like to see. I just recently cut down a section of 1" schedule 40 black iron pipe that I needed as a support in the press. I cut the pipe with a Rigid wheel cutter while the pipe was in a chain vise. After the cut, I used a ratcheting pipe reamer to...

Agreed - which makes them better suited to be used in the press correct?

One has to be safer than the other though, right?

This is probably a dumb question but when using sockets on the shop press should you be using chrome or impact sockets?

Where can I source a nice & flat, square block for safely & accurately pressing items with the shop press? I'm not talking about the press plates that rest on the bolster of the press.

Thanks for your input. It looks to me like the Richards' saw is an old version of this Kalamazoo K7B https://kalamazooind.com/product/k7b-7-inch-industrial-abrasive-chop-saw/

Is this chop saw worth grabbing off marketplace for $150 bucks? Or would I be better of just getting this modern M18 for $275?

I'm gonna grab it, thanks gentlemen.

Found on marketplace and the seller is looking for $450. It comes with the table. Is this worth grabbing for general DIY work?

I've been keeping my eye out for a made in USA belt/disc sander for quite some time now. I've never heard of this one and it just popped up on marketplace for $75 bucks. Is this worth grabbing?

I've been using this Milton inflator/gauge for several years now and I'm wondering if it's worth spending the money on a digital tire inflator? I have my eye on a Snap-on TPGDL2000

No, their product description has nothing to do with plastic wheel covers vs. alloy rims. When they mention "decorative caps" they are talking about OEM lug nuts that are often two-piece (chrome cap over steel).
