I have a Hydron H50 4-ton GSHP which I installed back in 2008. This was before Enertech bought Hydron. I like the simplicity of my system and the cabinet being stainless steel. My install was KISS. Only problems I had were two Grundfos 26-99 loop pumps rotor locked up due to loop fluid...

Hi, I stumbled on this thread searching for ”welserver.com 2024”. I have been a member here for many years and also using the Web Energy Logger since 2008. My page on welserver.com Http://welserver.com/WEL0058 When I began my GSHP install in 2007, I was searching for a logger to verify the...

Search "HF 4x6 bandsaw tune up" Their are two good YT on how to make adjustments. I was able to get my saw thin test cuts of 3" square tubing within .010" . Amazing. Spent two hours of tweaking the blade tracking and the adjustable blade guides.

Quick post while searching for milling machine. I now have about 70 hours on the SB compressor. Extremely happy with the compressor and still music to the ears chug-chug-chug. I will note my SB is like 95% made in USA. The mag switch is Mexico and a few fittings stamped China.

Wow sorry for all the problems. When I built my 30x30x12 shop 15 years ago, ran into problem with the first vendor. Since all my building site are slope, I want to build two sides into the slope 4’ . I contacted Heritage Building. Looked at several of their buildings near by. The concrete...

Spend the time to make sure the all the structure is plum and true before hanging the first panel! The plum bob is your best friend. You should have been supplied some diagonal cable bracing. Loosely install these. You need to get some additional diagonal bracing in place to add rigidity to...

Are you doing any labor? I put up a 30x30x12 steelbuilding.com about 15 years ago. Original was going to budget 5k for concrete & sitework. However I built two sides 4’ into slope which added another 5k (engineered retaining wall + extra material. The building with 12x12 roll up door plus...

I would pour a concrete pad for now then overhead door. Or you could spend the money now overhead door and later gravel pad or concrete pad.

When I built my 30x30 SteelBuilding.com shop 15 years ago, I panel the interior walls with 1/2 OSB. I was going to install 200A service to shop but decide 100A would be enough for single person shop. I can weld and run my 5 HP compressor at same time without any problems. Installed double...

The car flipper is interesting idea. I saw some where some used two HF engine stands as the basis for a frame/body rotisserie. Engine stand bolt at each end and just rotate. Bob G.

We'll have read all 37 pages and did not see many old Clausing lathe's. I have a mid 1940's Clausing mk 3 standard lathe which has been in our family since the 1960's. My dad purchase this lathe for about $350 and came with only basic tooling. My dad put many hours on this lathe in the...

Any updates? It is the basic 5hp model which new was about $2100. Most of the public is clueless regarding SB compressors. Bob G.

As others have said you ****... You may feel this air compressor is over kill now but when you get into media blasting you will be glad you did. In 2014 my fustrations to get a good used 5 HP compressor, I end up buying a new SB 735 80g tank with the Aftercooler, auto tank drain, etc for...

Looked at this post since want to build a larger blast cabinet. Interested in the TP offer. Thank you Fred and TP Tools for the generous offer to GarageJournal members.

Congratulations, :beer: Purchased the same SB 735 compressor a year ago. Added an hourmeter and a Wilkerson water separator between the aftercooler and the tank. Have about 25 hours on it now and no drops of water at the tools. The water separator catches 95% of the moisture and the tank...
