    Buffalo Forge 15 Drill Press

    Bill; Thank you for the bumps and cross posts, If it weren't for you, I'd still have it. Can't believe only two GJ'ers popped their heads up above the surface for this. But very glad it went to a super nice guy. The old hunk of iron made it's way down the road for it's next chapter on...

    Buffalo Forge 15 Drill Press

    Thanks. Someone should get some use out of it. Good thing I didn't try to sell it and make enough to buy a case of beer! It's been hard enough to give it away! I just want to see it in use, not be a dust / rust collector. Or worse, end up being sold for scrap to support a habit.

    Buffalo Forge 15 Drill Press

    Let's try an early part of the week bump for a great old machine that needs a new home in a GJer's shop. I really didn't think it would be so hard to give away a piece of old iron.

    That's a long trip for a small piece of iron! Thanks for looking. This really should go to someone here on GJ :-)

    Buffalo Forge 15 Drill Press

    Here's some photos of a drill press I sort of brought back. When were cleaning out my Dad's shop in 2007, I found this rusted old thing off in a corner. I never even knew he had it. I doubt that he ever used it, but at the moment, sentimentality won, and its' parts spent time in the...

    Can I control a contactor with a thermostat?

    I'd think it would be perfect. It doesn't throw a ton of heat, but our spaces area small and don't take much. And honestly, the thermostatic control on the unit (the black knob) works great. It's remote control and information / observation that is driving this project.

    Can I control a contactor with a thermostat?

    Very cool. The price is about the same, all-in. Thanks for sharing. Something to consider when I do the garage. I like wiring stuff and making contraptions. :)

    Can I control a contactor with a thermostat?

    If I could control a contractor with a thermostat, I wouldn't have to ever worry about working again! :)

    Can I control a contactor with a thermostat?

    I do have some X10 Stuff. I was fully committed to x-10 in my last house (was a dealer for HAI in the 90's), and I got so frustrated with electronic ballasts sending stray signals all I really use it for any more is controlling window candles and interior christmas lights during the season...

    Can I control a contactor with a thermostat?

    :3gears: Brian --- you are spot on. I figured the way I work, I might just actually be ready for the cool season in the Fall. Thanks to all for the responses. Even though some of the suggestions don't take into account some of the constraints and things I want to do, they are a perfect...

    Teng Tools Giveaway

    I'm in. I first saw teng in an ad towards the bottom of the GJ home page. I spent some time checking out the site. I am very interested in them, and would be tickled if I was chosen for the giveaway! Thanks Ryan, and thanks TENG.

    Can I control a contactor with a thermostat?

    Question for you guys regarding a thermostat and a 240V relay / contactor. I'm not sure whether to go here or into the Heating and A/C subforum. Background: I have a shed where I do woodworking. This winter I installed one of those little 5000W electric heaters with an integrated fan. It's...

    Prewiring Network and Cable - Worth the Cost or DIY?

    Seems like you're off to a good start. Don't forget a patch panel. I run OpenMesh network at home, but all of my TV's are hard wired for updates and any "smart apps" stuff that they might need. Plus, I keep all my TV's and IOT stuff on separate networks, and I'm happy to keep them off wifi...

    The 20V line from Dewalt, or should I go Milwaukee?

    I had the old 14.4 DW XRP Drill and Hammer Drill. About 3-4 years ago, I got tired of the game, and I really wanted an impact driver. I bought a kit -- circ saw, sawzall, hammerdrill, impact driver and flashlight. I did my research, found a deal and bought the 20V LiOn kit with the upgraded...
