The previous owners of our house installed child window guards on the interior. I now see why they didn't remove them. They used one way security screws :-( I've removed plenty where the head is exposed but these are recessed inside the 3/4" square tubing. So I can't grind a notch into...

I assumed these were a "spring clip" but maybe they go by a different name as my search foo wasn't finding me much that was visually similar. It's a die from a crimping tool. Hard to find so I was going to cnc mill something. I was hoping to find a COTS "clip" that was similar to the one...

Does anyone know how the old silver version 69512 (https://go.harborfreight.com/coupons/2020/12/61858-176691-61858/) compares to the current 58794 model (https://www.harborfreight.com/1-ton-capacity-foldable-shop-crane-58794.html) I've been thinking of buying one as I have some 400lb milling...

Not entirely garage related but there are a bunch of knowledgeable folks here so I'll ask anyways :) In my old 1920s house I installed Simpson URFP plates to strap the sill plate to the foundation. It was a totally unfinished half basement with half crawl space. Easy job. My new house (also...

I have the a Turbine Products supplied air system. I have the half mask version and also the hood (for 2K paint). I've been happy with it for painting projects. I subsequently purchased the weld hood adapter and it was one of the worst designed products I've ever purchased. It's way too large...

I've luckily never had to repair a thread. Today despite using correct torque (8NM) I managed to strip one of the M6x1.0 threads on an motorcycle (Aprilia) clutch cover. I'm pretty sure it's magnesium. The bolt length is 20mm and the clutch cover depth is 13mm. I tried a longer bolt...

I have a small shop and it's packed meaning I have very very little space. Stuff has to be moved around for most projects. I made my own folding welding table (based on a design that's been knocking around the web for a while). I really need to come up with some kind of extraction system...

First off. Local pickup is preferred. I will ship but payment remains cash or cash-equivalent. It appears to be brand new. I've test powered it using 1, 2 and 3 12V batteries in series. I'm seeing them for sale online for $1300+. Asking $600 cash. I'm open to trades for CNC tooling...

The assembly manual for some equipment I have refers to "#10 .030 flat washers" and "#10 .060 flat washers". I've looked on McMaster Carr, Fastenal etc and drew a blank. Measuring w/ calipers: OD is 0.3745 and 0.3770 (so nominally 3/8") ID is 0.20" and 0.206" (#10 fits) thickness is 0.033"...

I was looking at the Harbor Freight 3/8" right angle pneumatic drill but it was larger than I was hoping (see picture). Is there anything smaller available? In a dedicated drill. I don't need a 3/8" chuck though smaller isn't that common. I already have a full size right angle Milwaukee...

This is the control box lid from my CNC mill. I suspect the seller damaged it. It's more deformed than the picture would imply, probably 3/4" in places (high to low). The white/red "intelitek" logo is some kind of foam/plastic sticker, likely can be removed/reinstalled with care. It's...

I need to install some rivet nuts on some equipment to replace the originals. Not all the nuts are populated at any point in time and so you can see the exposed heads/flanges on some. As such this is entirely an aesthetic question. Not functional. Is the knurling pattern on the top of...

Off topic but searching here I see "prior art" so ..... I managed to crack our Corian sink :lol_hitti It's built into the Corian counter. Two cracks, both from the drain across entire bottom of sink and one extends 2" up the side. I've seen claims you can epoxy but I don't believe it, especially...

A while ago I welded up this table. It's 8' x 3'. To hold a CNC Mill (400 pounds) and CNC Lathe (300 pounds). [4"x2" legs, 2"x2" cross supports, 2" angle on the bottom] Top will be 1-1/2" thick oak. I already have the boards. Will be tongue and grooved. My plan was for the interior...

Can anyone ID this make of storage shelf? No manufacturer mark visible. Is it possible to buy additional shelves? I can see similar but not identical at HD/Lowes but I'd have to buy an entire unit (4 or 5 shelves).

There was a recent thread here but it was mostly focused on ways of capping tubes. I have a few tubes of fairly expensive adhesive products ($15-20 tubes). Everything from 1K fillers to high temp PCB epoxy. It's annoying to have to pay $15 and find the tube has dried up and also it stalls...

Anyone have recommendations for good online sellers of prescription safety glasses? Single vision. Don't need bifocal or progressive. I get my regular prescription glasses at Costco but they don't sell safety glasses. Insurance only covers a pair every two years so I'll be paying cash...

Question on running conduit into a basement. Currently power and a single phone to my shop are wired along the sill plate of the basement foundation (7' basement ceiling height), then out through the siding and down externally via conduit into the concrete (red arrow in both pictures). I want...

I was going to pick up some wall hooks. Looking on Amazon there seem to be visually similar hooks that are actually 3 different styles. half loop mount (the hook seems to pivot on an open half loop) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KT5RSG3/?tag=atomicindus08-20 closed loop mount (the...
