Yeah - Job is done and it came out very nice. Hand hacksaw and file with a angle iron straight edge. What did we learn? I need the following: Milwaukee 6232-21 Deep Cut Portable Band Saw $430 JET Benchtop 6" x 48" Belt & 12" Disc Sander, 1-1/2 HP, 115/230V 1Ph (JSG-6DC) $1,870 Swag Table...

Well, A hacksaw and file it is. Didn't come out too bad, but power tools are nicer.... RP

Wow, That's nice.....

Thank you! That's what I'm talking about! RP

Seriously? You guys are supposed to talk me into spending massive amounts of money on tools - what's going on here? RP

I am building a spot-welding cart. The carry all is done and now I have added a platform and foot switch operation option. These parts are for the foot switch. I had all of the parts laser-cut and CNC bent, but I forgot two parts for a linkage. Next to the laser cut parts I just need...

I'm looking for a solution that does not require purchasing new tools, but that never really works out, does it? What I really need to consider which tool if I add one is most versatile for other jobs as well. I usually farm out my metal work, but this job is so small it's a shame to waste...

Yeah, belt sander is it. Mine died a long time ago, maybe time to fix that.... Damm, that's awesome....

Hi guys, I'm working on a project and it's getting ridiculous. I don't often do this, but I have to cut a 1" x 1/4" CRS bar into lengths. This is just a mechanics shop, not a production facility and I've tried an air saw, cut off wheel, hacksaw ect. It gets the job done but no two pieces are...

It's removable, I only put it on when I need it... It's all I got, I'm really cramped in here right now....

Ahh, Always learning. I'll curse myself first time that comes up, but thank you. Yes, Rustoleum red! Thanks all!

Just a quick follow up on this grinder. I've been through two disks since last posted and it's humming along perfectly. Yes, finding the 4" disks is becoming a problem now. I found a sleeve on E-bay and should probably pull the trigger before they are gone. Suprisingly the brushes took some...

It can get messy....

Hi Gang, Just a follow up, here is what I wound up doing. I deleted the clamping feature of the table, I never used it anyway. Since I have a small shop it's basically my only work surface. it still folds up and I've put it through it's paces already. There are two patterns on it with...

Okay, slight diversion, I had to update my work bench. I have a small work area, so I don't have a fixed bench at the moment, so I upgraded my work stand. Been put to work several times already. It's a great addition to the shop.
