Awww, you just had to point out something cool like that? Did some reading on the calibration site for fun. They say about 65% of the surplus meters they see are functional enough to be calibrated without repair work, and for the model Epsteins has it's $92 for calibration.

Glad to hear this!

I've put my cheap forstner bits through plenty of aluminum without issue. Nice and slow worked for me.

No NWS love?

I just ordered a WP8-115 Quick for $72 from the warehouse, "Packaging may be damaged". There are a lot of Metabo grinder deals from Amazon Warehouse at the moment. My jacket ate a twisted wire cup brush before, which made me glad I choose paddle switches when I can. I'm looking forward to...

Free ship to store, or free to home with $20 purchase. Honestly didn't notice the Anderson ones, only saw them in carbon steel. I just ordered 1 of each....we'll see what happens.

I swear the last time I bought some they were dirt cheap everywhere. Just tried ordering a few and not so much anymore. After some digging I found that Anchor makes nice affordable ones. The best place I found to get them...Staples believe it or not. Free ship to store, or free shipping over...

I usually use 3m, but I'm trying out Merit right now which is part of Norton. I get them through Amazon. For grits, I get something in the 36 - 60 grit range. I try for lower, but usually Amazon will have one particular grit or two significantly cheaper than the others. The 2" 40 grit Zirconia...

I tend to stick with 3m, Norton, and Mirka for abrasive products. I was ordering some Roloc discs on Amazon today and noticed they had some Merit Roloc discs. Some were priced similarly to 3m, others were crazy cheap. I ordered a 10 pack of 40 grit 2" discs for under $4 to try out. Figured I'd...

I'll let you guys in on a little secret...check out CripeDistributing on Ebay real quick. They have a bunch of Napa branded ones for crazy cheap prices. They mostly have the specialty ones left now.

I have a 4 piece SK set. I also have all of the XZN sizes that Zephyr makes in 1/4-5/16 hex bit format. I've owned 4 VWs over the years, and I think I've only used 3 sizes. I liked A2s though, so I've no idea what they're using now. Neiko is a Chinese company that exploded on Ebay some time...

If you look at the Amazon reviews of the CP 7748, I'm in there as "Thunder". CP is my go to brand for pneumatic tools unless another brand really stands out for a specific tool, like Dynabrade sanders. You get a lot of quality and power for the price. The new Proto sounds great, but for...

Marvel Air Tool oil here. I have my oiler set to about 1 drop every 45 -60 seconds with the trigger depressed on a blow gun. 1 to 2 drops a minute seems to be the recommended rate on all my air tools. As long as you use oil, it really doesn't matter. A drop or two of some type of oil is 1000...

Partially. That's what brought on the trailer build. A few reasons. I like that it has built in running gear, price is pretty decent, a lot of times I'm in places where I don't have access to 230v so the MVP is a plus.....ummmm....it's blue Ugh, forgot about the bathroom. Had 3 pipes leaking...

I have a CP7900, no issues for me so far.
