High pressure needle valves with a check valve - allows controlled flow one way and full flow in the other direction. Often used to control the descent of a cylinder which is holding up a load, without restricting inflow. Flow would be from A to B according to the drawing. Test by blowing air...

It's an experiment in process. Play with the variables until you're happy with the result. Run the search "welding undercut" through Google and you can see the images.

Avoiding undercut will be a balance between reducing power, increasing wire speed, or reducing the speed of travel. Basically speaking there is insufficient filler being melted into the weld for the heat being introduced.

Here's a nice guide for patches. Rust Patch Panels.

Columns are aligned and level. I greased the sliders. Like I said, the only way for it to collapse is losing the fluid. It would have to be a major leak. PM me your details. Thanks Dave

Sorry about the error Alex. I've had mine for 2 years and the only complaint is that sometimes I've had to shake the car to release the lift from its maximum height. The first time I lifted a car to the maximum when I went to lower the car only one piston was lowering. That freaked me out. It...

Nice engineering job Alex. You'll never have to worry about whats under the concrete where your MaxJax is installed. Your baby will never be at risk. Do you still have the supplied anchors?

THIS IS NOT AN AD. Think of it as a friendly tip from one Garage Journal member to another... There's lots of people who are thinking it's time to do something they can call their own. First you hear how easy it is... then you hear how crazy it is. The fact is, it can be the best decision you...

It was part of my research for the powder coat oven. Great idea to use ready made construction studs to create the cabinet of any required size needed. If required I'll use this idea for a custom sized oven in the future. Thanks for the post. Dave

Thanks for the headsup Leanna, I'll pass this on to him. It'll save a big headache. See you on Facebook :D

My first job was winding and building transformers. My boss had designed and converted an old 50-60's era refrigerator into an oven to cure the varnish used to seal the coils and lamination's. This would make the transformer better electrically insulated and quieter. I used his design...

There are some ovens where the builder used the residential oven and expanded the oven compartment. I don't see why the controller from a residential oven couldn't be used. No, he hasn't baked anything yet. He's got other projects on the go before the colder weather comes. I will update when a...

Thanks Leanna, I watched your video on Youtube and all I can say is I'm impressed. How's the biz been since you opened the powder coat operation?

Princess Auto uses Purolator and Canada Post to ship in Canada. Rates are very low with Purolator. PRINCESS AUTO

I spent a good part of this summer helping my brother build a DIY home made powder coat oven. The best candidate for an enclosure was a 1970's circa freezer because of its design attributes. 1. Steel construction 2. Fiberglass insulation 3. Almost free ($60) I posted the pictures in my album...

Here's a link to understand what TimeWarpF100 has. I always thought people moved to the dessert for their health. Valley Fever I'm hoping you don't dump this project as it's been interesting to see all your work arounds to make this conversion come together. Get well soon!:thumbup:

Extremely interesting post. Get well soon as the project can wait because your health won't.

If that's the case it's been running on 110v. The black is the hot (110v) circuit breaker side of the circuit. The white is neutral (0v) The red is the hot (110v) circuit breaker side of the circuit. See the photo attached. You can use a 220v outlet instead of the one pictured which is for...

Only three prongs on the 220 plugs over there? Match the colours, Red=110v White=neutral Black=110v The White/neutral acts as ground
