SKU: 115061 Anybody have one of these 5-inch chippers? I have new blades in it and the wood just bounces on the blades. It’s like they’re in backwards but, the support guy sent me a photo. The blade angle is facing out. He said to set the anvil(bed blade) clearance gap to 1 mm. The belts are not...

1st. This is 3 wire pre-2008 sub panel. The GFCI keeps tripping. I pulled the breaker and ohm the 8 outlets. No shorts or opens. With nothing plugged in and yes I wired it so all receptacles are in my shop. It trips once a week. No amps per my Field piece. Will a GFCI work in a 3 wire feed...

I have a patio that is about 75% covered with an aluminum roof. It does get windblown rain on it and 25% is uncovered. We want to do something with it aesthetically. My wife would like something colorful. The concrete has Super Seal 25 a solvent-based acrylic sealer that is 3+ years old. The...

I have an old 10" table top saw and small table top 1" belt sander. Both are broken and no parts available. Any ideas what to do with the motors?

It’s a patio with 4” concrete. I had to put in 12” of 3/4 to get the base level. I already had the 3/4 so that’s why I used it. This one corner is deep while the rest has about 6”. I will be back filling with dirt to slope. Looking at the photo again…I’m thinking maybe I should dig out the...

I really wasn’t sure of the type of patio before I installed the siding. I’ve calculated the cost and I’m going with concrete. I didn’t consider the vinyl siding placement since I had to match the siding on 2 sides. I wanted it to be parallel with the existing garage, so that’s where it ended...

I'm always paranoid when grinding or welding. I really don't want a fire. I'm thinking of building a dedicated work area for these activities. It's more sparks when using the angle grinder. I don't have a bench grinder. I have some leftover roofing panels and an exhaust fan. I'll build or...

I ran across a Delta model 50-760 with a cyclone. I think a 2012 per serial number and a 120/240 motor. 1.5 HP. It also has a Oneida Super Dust Deputy with about a 10 gallon Oneida drum. Looks in great shape. I can’t find a similar unit. He wants $700. What ya think? I don’t have a photo. Craig

I'm probably going to put my table saw/work table in the center of my shop. I'm looking for pictures of how you did yours. I should have put conduit in the floor but, did not. I need to have a 20 Amp, 30 Amp (welder) and air. Thanks Craig

I found this today when I was about to connect new outlets. This has been this way 25 years and maybe I’ve been lucky. The inspector passed it way back then. There is a 100 amp panel in the detached garage 50ft from the house. It has 2 hots, 1 neutral from house. (I think #2) There is an earth...

I'm thinking about adding an outdoor outlet on the side of my new shop. The shop outlets are on a 20 Amp gfci breaker. I could connect the last outlet and go though the wall to outside(if OK). Of course using a WR. Is the gfci breaker enough or should I put a gfci outlet outdoors. I would use...

I’m starting my LED search. I have 7/12 scissor trusses so they will be at an angle. I want surface or recessed mount lights. I need the height for moving lumber and my tree gear. Yea I’ll have a 12 ft tree for my climbing gear and practice. Will the gimbal or the strip LEDs work better? Any...

I bought a Dewalt DCS574 7 1/4 saw about a month ago. It seems this thing throws a lot of chips. It has a new 24T framing blade. My antique corded Craftsman or Skil don’t. Anyone else have one and noticed this?

I've been wanting a shop to do my projects. It's for wood, metal or tinkering. I need, a place now that I'm retired. I just get tired of having to pull vehicles out just to work on stuff. I'm very active and wanted a place to work, especially during the winter. 18x20 with scissors trusses.

I broke ground today for my 18x20 work room. I don't want or need a garage door on an 18ft wall. I would like something about 6ft for bringing in/out larger projects. Any suggestions? Craig

I've been lurking for a long time. I decided to join after renovating my garage. Craig
