Just got a DeWalt DWE7480 Table Saw. Want to build a mobile stand that is also an outfeed table. Thinking 36" wide with the saw table in the middle to give me 6" more table width on each side of the table saw table. Thinking 60" deep total which includes 22.5" of table saw table, giving me...

I too have a Mark V I bought new in '85. I use the table saw, drill, lathe, bandsaw, scrollsaw, and jointer functions. It is not the best at anyone of these functions, but I have limited space and must wheel it outside the garage to use. I never dared to rip 4'x8' sheets on it, but 2'x8'...

I suggest you visit web pages for various lifts you may acquire and see what their requirements are. I noticed a thread here the other day and the poster said his particular lift required 4-5" of 3500# (psi) concrete. If you are thinking of a scissor lift you may also want to think about...

Hey fellow Lafayette'r! I replaced my overhead doors with insulated doors, really helped out in the winter. It is a rare day my garage gets below freezing now. Tim.

I don't have Racedeck, another brand Multy, mine too is buckling slightly, lifted in the middle of the right bay of a two bay garage. Lifted by at most 1/8". I do have stuff sitting on the floor around the perimeter so that is probably stopping it from moving and settling. Also had the sun on...

I'm looking to get a lift. How did you get the lift off the delivery truck and into your garage?

Hi, I would like to get a scissor lift for my garage. It appears they are around 800# to 1000#. Checking many sellers, they say best to be shipped to a local freight terminal where I can pick it up. They say lift gates will not handle this load. Okay, I can find someone with a pickup or...

I would put on a wax, maybe polymer wax to make it slick. Then throw the blade away when done...

DanMan, what keeps the roof from coming down and pushing out the side walls?

How much slope to the 40' of perforated pipe? I assume high point is the middle and slopes down to each end? How much drop over the 20' run? Sure there are no low spots? What do you expect to drain off, roof runoff and/or water coming down the slope to the garage? What is the fill like...

If you need to patch innertubes you have the tool! It is pretty much a swell decoration nowadays.

Howdy fellow Hoosier! Tim Lafayette

Door open in day, plenty of sunlight. Door open at night with any lights on brings in major bugs. So my door is not open at night.

I bought my Mark V in 1984 and it still works fine. Use it as table saw, sander, vertical and horizontal drill, lathe, bandsaw, jigsaw, scrollsaw, and joiner. The table saw table is small and the table tilts, not the blade. Changing from one function to another can be time consuming, best to...
