Hi guys This is a major long shot. I know these machines aren't very popular, and support online is pretty hard to come by. I am trying to use the Optimize function on this machine, where you spin the wheel alone, put the tire on and spin it as an assembly, and then it will tell you where to...

Yes it's not too big. 25x25 with 10' ceilings. I have access to a lot of free oil, and already have a converted waste oil furnace...it can be turned down quite a bit to around 0.5 GPH I believe. I'd like to have more power than not enough as I don't plan on running the heat all the time in this...

Thanks Jack. Am I correct in assuming that with a powered vent you don’t need to vent above the roof line? Can it just vent out horizontally?

Hi guys I'm thinking about installing a waste oil furnace or wood furnace in my barn. My roof peak is quite high (like 35ft) since it is a gambrel style barn. I want to put it on the ground floor. Curious about chimney setups. Is the only way to buy a ton of chimney pipes and put it above the...

Hi guys I have a Chinese tire machine. It is great, love it. Only downside is doing heavy LT tires or lower profile, I’d really love to have one of those helper/assist arms for it. Has anyone here added one to their machine? Which one did you choose? From what I see available there are two...

For anyone looking at calculating springs in the future, I have found a great free tool. SSC Spring Engineering has graciously provided us with phone apps and even a desktop app. Let's you calculate garage door springs depending on door dimensions, weight, how many springs you want, etc...

Appreciate your response. I had saw that on their site already, and unfortunately their calculator only seems to go up to a door height of 8'. My door is 9.3' now...unless I missed it somewhere on their site. Anyway, I ordered a couple different springs a bit larger than what I have to see if...

Pex Wow, if only I would have thought of that before! :rolleyes:

Hi guys For context I had a 9' wide x 8' tall garage door. It's layout was as follows: 4 x 24" panels, one torsion spring (0.250" x 2" ID x 30" long). The total weight of the door was 173 lbs. It worked well. I had the spring cranked about 32-33 1/4 turns (around 8 full turns). Now, I have...

Yeah that’s what I’ve been using as well but it gets messy quick and needing to rifle through everything gets annoying Thanks I’ve looked at those

Hi there To you guys out there who go to pull a parts frequently, or just have a mobile bag for some mechanics tools to grab and go, what kind of backpacks do you use? I was at Home Depot the other day and saw they had a variety of tool backpacks which I thought would be nice for my junkyard...

Thanks I found it here. https://go.harborfreight.com/coupons/2025/02/183669-10/ It says can’t be stacked with other promotions or discounts. I guess that means it can’t be stacked on the sale items, right? EDIT: Actually just saw it ended March 2

Hi guys I’m looking to buy a Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile. I saw they have a parking lot sale this weekend but only the regular 3 ton is in the sale. Has anyone bought a low profile 3 ton in a sale, and if so, what discount were they giving on it? And how often do these sales occur? I’m from...

Hi guys I just inherited this old Prest-A-Lite air acetylene torch (not oxy-acetylene). I took it all apart and cleaned it in my ultra sonic cleaner, and now it runs really nice, a nice solid blue flame. My question is when turning the gas regulator off, there is a sort of backfire from I...

Thanks. That’s looks good. I think your wall is significantly deeper than mine though
