Yes I'm concerned with noise. I don't need this to last forever, my use will be quite infrequent. Should this be significantly quieter than a run-of-the-mill oil-less direct drive compressor that one would buy at Sears/HD/etc? Thanks Tim

Please report back on how you like these please! Us Canadians would like to know :) Thanks

Hey guys, Looking at a DevAir/DevilBiss (Porter Cable/etc) air compressor for sale locally. Has an Emerson motor on it (these are good US made motors correct?) Here is a pic of the motor specs: Picture of compressor: Motor runs at 3450 rpm. I seem to remember reading that this is not...

Thanks Mike, Though I have heard some people say their direct-drive compressors aren't that loud.. maybe they have lower RPM motors with big volume pumps (directly driven by the motor of course). Anybody have a Porter Cable upright?

Hey guys, Costco up here in Canada has a Devilbiss 25 gal oil-less upright compressor priced at $300. Did some research and the Devilbiss website links to Porter Cable as more compressors under the Devilbisss name. So turns out this compressor is a relabelled Porter Cable compressor. When I...

Hey Chris, Problem is I can't create the grade away from the slab, the back yard slopes TOWARDS the garage. I can't raise the garage. Add the corrugated black pipe just level with the surface of the ground and then sloped towards the driveway is an option, but will be a lot of digging...

Hey guys, So now that the frost has set in, I'm getting water collecting at the base of my garage (slab construction, top of slab not very high off grade, maybe 2-3 inches) when it rains (cold spell and then we get a warm spell with lots of rain). The backyard is sloped towards the garage (I...

Thanks BMW but that seller is the one that won't ship to Canada :( I was hoping to either find somebody in the US that wants one and is willing to partner up with me so I can get one as well, or find a different seller who is willing to ship to Canada.. Tim

I have done this, just used oil based primer and latex cover. I think it looks fine, much better than I had expected after listening to some of the folks in here on how they 'thought' it would look. Of course you can tell when you are up close and focusing on it.. but who cares. I choose OSB...

Could it be that everybody on the garagejournal who wants one already has one?? :( Can anybody suggest a different source/seller that might have these for sale for $10 (or even $15 is they have reasonable shipping). Tim

Anybody looking to get one of these willing to add another for the $1 extra shipping and then ship it to me in Canada? Seller won't ship to Canada and I really want one of these! I can paypal the money upfront of course. Thanks (can PM if you'd like) Tim

Great info on hand cleaners here guys. I just use dishwashing liquid as well, but may try the sugar trick for those tougher jobs. I also agree that $20 shipped and taxes (!!) for a gallon of GREAT hand cleaner is worth it. That isn't that much unless you go through it in like 3 weeks (and...

Ya I've had the same experiences LB, I find USPS airmail on smaller items not too bad though. You shoulda got 3 on your order to your buddy and then just sent it Canada Post to me, doh! =) Next time, ha (actually, drop me a PM next time you do something like this, we can split the shipping...

Nice! Thanks for clearing that up Ibgradwell! I just e-mailed a few sellers on ebay to see if they'll ship to Canada. Fingers crossed. Thanks Tim

Pics! Be great to see some working pics of such a beautiful shop!

Hey guys, Just stumbled upon this looking for info about the Canadian Tire brand of tools (also called Mastercraft). http://www.mastercrafttool.com/pages/products/socketwrenches/GearLessZeroDegreeSocketWrench.asp I like the idea of gearless, with no degree swing required. Not sure how...

I agree with the angle of sweep. I'd like to get the least amount of angle required for a 3/8 (and 1/4) inch ratchet. Does Proto have a comparable ratchet with the nice feel but say 5 deg sweep? What about Craftsmen.. others? What should I keep my eye out on ebay for? Sorry for the...

I agree guys, looks like it is going back. I thought if it was something simple that I had done putting it together or something it'd be less hassle. I'll just tear it down to manageable pieces and back it goes, oh well. Thanks Tim

Sorry, I don't know WHAT I was thinking, it is set at 3840 rpm. I will test it and see if it does this with the motor not connected to the drive pulleys, or at lower spindle speeds. Thanks

Hey guys, So I bought a new drill press from Princess Auto (Canadian Harbour Frieght equivalent). Fired it up, and it builds up speed and then seems to cut out, and the rev up again, and then cut out, etc... I don't want to disassemble it and take it back to the store if it is something I can...
