    Looking for something light weight and easy to operate battery powered that my little wife can operate. I have an old corded BD that does fine, but the cord is a little bit painful. I also have a 2storke backpack for larger jobs. Just for blowing off the patio and driveway.

    Ideas to chamfer 5c collet?

    Looking for ideas on how to add a chamfer the inside of a 3/16” 5c collet? Want to be able to easily insert material thru the back side. Thinking about it now I guess I can hold it in a collet block. What kind of tool would you use? Both for length and not get jammed in the inturrupted...

    ID this compressor

    Bought used like 10 years ago. Can’t find any kind of name plate on it other than the motor. Works great. Probably due for an oil change. Maybe new filters. No sight glass or dipstick so I’ve always just kinda guessed close enough. Would love to know the actual oil capacity.

    So I got this pressure switch. The listing says 1/4 NP thread. Google brings up one site that says it was an old Japan spec. And is not compatible with NPT. NPT seems to fit ok. Send it?

    Does anyone make a longer switch?

    I have this old face plate that I would like to use. It’s probably the only thing that was originally in this house that I have kept (including a lot of walls) it’s kinda thick though anybody offer a standard light switch with a little longer toggle?

    2 post lift foot print?

    I know each manufacturer has specific information for each model lift. But I haven’t and probably will not select a lift until well after construction is complete. Will be a 6” slab. Likely a 10k or 12k lift. Wondering if there is a general rule of thumb as to where to avoid placing control...

    Calipers!! Digital or Dial?

    I’m training a ME Inturn on some basic machining. He of course has digital calipers. I showed him how easy it is to find the sweet spot on a measurement and how easy it is to see how much still needs to be taken off with dials vs digital. Next session he showed up with his own dial calipers...

    Trailer length confusion?

    So in the final stages of getting permits on my new garage. They keep trying to shrink me down! Last round included measuring from grade instead of finished floor. That costs me 6” of height. I can live with 11’6”height. But they want (perticular reviewer I think is being a **** as others had...
