Hi, Trying to determine what I have here on a Grizzly mill, and lathe. I think it is a Nema 30 AMP plug but I want to be sure as I have to install a new circuit for a "used" mill and a lathe, they both use this plug. Why are there 4 brass contacts, are there 4 wires on this 30 amp circuit? I...

How are the garage builds labeled "Between X sq ft, and x sq ft"? Is this something I need to do myself? Thanks, Joe

Anyone doing this? I have quite a few 3" I'd like to cutdown, just haven't devised a way yet. Other ideas?

Looking for a 3" Roloc disc pad holder for my die grinder. I've been using Hammerfab for a while now but they are expensive and break if you drop them. What do you use?

Looking for pictures, ideas, etc of how you store your extra "hitch receiver" mounted tools when not in use. I only have about three tools so far so I store the two not in use on a shelf. Thanks!

I am looking on amazon and the reviews are turning me off. Can anyone recommend a good, or great 1/2 x 18 sanding belt for an air sander.

My compressor is in a shed attached to my garage. I have a pole building about 15 feet away from the shed. Is it possible to run an airline underground to the pole barn? I was contemplating it and was thinking moisture may get trapped in the line because it is lower and freeze in the winter...

I did some googling and didn't find any examples. I need to install a vinyl slider in a pre-existing pole barn and make it look nice with flashing. Thoughts? I have access to the sheetmetal form the inside, I can pull that OSB off. I want to put it somewhere between those two posts.

We built this back in 2003 if I recall correctly. The original intent was to raise Holstein calves, store hay, and a tractor. As my daughter got older we raised horses, they grew up, moved away, we went back to calves. Over the years I have enclosed the front, divided off half for working on...

Who has one, and what do you think? I used to be a toolmaker years ago, I know a bench top mill is no replacement for a Bridgeport, or Lagun. I am close to retirement and am resto-modding a couple of older cars. I would like to be able to have a decent X-Y table to mill some parts or even...

Probably not the best description. I have two of the 44" Harbor Freight roller cabinets. I would like something more than a rubber mat. Maybe even tie the two cabinets together? Show me what you have done... Thanks!

We intend to move when I retire in two years. Last fall we purchased a smaller house in Laramie, WY. I will have to tear down the current garage and rebuild one in its place. Constratints: Limited to 15' height by code Limited to 26X32 due to property lines and placement Desires: Ability to...

I use the same 220 plug/receptacle for my compressor as I do my MIG welder. I just unplug the compressor and plug in the welder when I need to use the welder. I turn on the power at the breaker box. Is there a way to hard wire the compressor into a fused box and continue the wiring to a plug...

My garage contains most of the stuff I need to get to along the back 24' wall. I would like to have some sort of a manual or motorized tarp that drops down to retain heat in the front 8' of my garage. I normally hang traps across in the winter and that suffices but is a pain when I want to...

Has anyone ever put the foam insulation around buried PVC water line. Wouldn't it add extra protection? Our frost line is at 30" and I can only get the trencher to go 30" so I am a little concerned. I am extending a current water line out to my barn. It is at 33" and has been fine for 5...

I am doing some remodeling in my garage. I have two 3X4 windows on the south wall of my garage. These are the only natural light I get into my garage. I was curious if anyone has used windows near the soffit? I know I would need to put a header above the window so it would most likely be 12"...

I have limited experience finishing concrete. I have done a few sidewalks and a couple of 6X10 slabs. I am curious how hard it would be to do a 10X48 slab next to my garage. I could finish 20 feet of it from both sides but the 28 feet left would be next to the garage so I would have to do it...

I want to put a storage shed next to my garage but I want it to look nice. The largest I can build is 10X12, My current garage is 28' along that wall, and 10' high. I have been thinking about the different options I have. I know I want the width to be 10' and the depth 12'. I was thinking...

I get a little upset each time I have to pay 16.99 for my Crafstman shop vac filter replacement. I have the little red "R2D2" as some of the guy's here call it. It takes the 9-17816 filter that seems to clog up real fast. Have any of you found a cheaper alternative filter? I have googled the...

I have been studying the air compressor threads to see how a compressors vibration is isolated. I see allot of folks using a flexible line. I have searched for size information but have not found any. I want to run a short piece of air hose from my compressor to my regulator. I picked up a 20...
