Going to build a book case and wanted to get it drafted up this weekend but I'm kinda lost.:headscrat I was suppose to get an email from my local steel place letting me know what square tubing fits inside other square tubing. I just wanted normal size square tubing that I can get on a regular...

If I were going to concrete where I'm standing to the garage. Its right around 60' feet or so. I have about 100 ton of 2b's or 57's whatever you know them by that I can put down. (About 1 1/2'' square hole) The area is all filled dirt, stone, and so on. It has been this way for about 7 years...

I was wondering what Pan Brake you guys have liked for $1,000? I prefer a 30'' but I guess I could go with a 24''. I prefer it to be able to do 16 gauge. I know the rule of thumb. Whatever you think you need go twice and big. It probably still wouldn't be enough. Anyway what should I be looking...

Let's see those pictures of how you have your cables up and out of the way. I have been thinking what to do with my Miller 250Dx and now Miller 252. Between ground, pedal, the water cooled hoses and gas for torch head on the Tig. Then the gun, ground on the mig. I also have the spoolmate 30A...

Just like the title says what is a good price for a used Miller 252? I mean what would you pay? I want to pay the least but I don't think the guy has 210 electric so I won't be able to check it out. What should I be willing to pay?Says it only has about 100 hours on it. Looks like it is more...

I have only ever used a Hypertherm, Thermal Dynamics, and Miller. I would like something that I can use up to 1/4 with no problem but might need it for some 1/2''. If I had to to go real slow for the 1/2'' that would be ok because I don't use much 1/2''. I probably prefer Hypertherm or Thermal...

So I have decided to pick up the Miller 252 because I don't think I will ever need bigger then the 252 so the 350p just isn't for me. That being said if I do need to do some aluminum I can always tig weld it if it's over 3/8''. So I need to decide which model is right for me? The regular 252 or...

Say money isn't an object in this fight. Since Zoro has a 30% off coupon coming in the next 10-12 days. I'm looking at the Millermatic 252, and Millermatic 350p. I will be using this for home use but I always seem to find myself needing something bigger so that is why I have decided not to 211...

I need some drill bits or annular cutters from zoro. I need sizes from 9/16 to 1". I prefer to keep it under $500. I also need then to be able to drill through atleast 1/4 steel, cromoly, aluminum, and maybe some stainless steel. I was looking at these two kits but I figured maybe someone...

Now with having a drill press I'm finding that the bolt and nut thing just isn't for me. It's a pita to be truthful. The reason is I have to stick a flat head in to hold the bolt while trying to tighten the nut down then it seems everything moves after I had it lined up. I was hoping to get a...

I have this set. Yesterday while drilling I had no problems drilling. Me trying to get them off was a big pain in the ****. I broke two of them. One because I was using a wrench and realized I was just putting strain where I shouldn't. The other broke because I decided to crush it with the vise...

I'm wondering why they put slots on the base of a drill press? Maybe it's just me but can't think of a reason other then their isn't a reason!!! I would say I guess you could bolt weights to it. :mad: For what reason? Pictures might help me....

I bought a wilton vise from Zoro and the vise isn't exactly like they said it is. It was advertised with a 2 7/8'' ***********. However when it came to me it is 1 5/8. So after a couple hours on the phone with Zoro, they are sending me one with 2 1/8 ***********. The one they sent me was made...

I have a frigidaire stand up freezer. Someone left the door open over night. I have since been able to get the freezer on and keep it running but the timer on the back times out after 8-12 hours or so. The temperature alarm stays on with the light. I turned the alarm sound off but the light is...

I have a bolt bin with different bolts in each bin. I have a few different sizes in some of the bins. Trying to figure out an easy way to label the bolts so other people can read them when I'm not able to get to them. How do you have yours labelled???

I got the Jet Drill Press 354170. The only problem is I have no way of holding anything down or clamping it down. So what accessories do I need for this? I tried Jet's site but the accessories are for a different chuck and that is it. I was hoping I would come up to the house and find some stuff...

I would like an air compressor that I can use in my garage. I have been using a 30 gallon Craftsman with a CFM of 7.2 at 40 and 5.8 at 90. Max pressure is 150 psi. I don't use a lot of air tools but what I do use is a die grinder, 1/2 impact, 3/8 ratchet, and an air hammer. I prefer something...

I was looking at the Jet 354170 or 354402. Below I have the link to compare them side by side. I do more metal work then wood work. I was wondering the big difference of the variable speed over the fixed speed. Both have the same minimum and maximum speed. These are only about $100 apart. Drill...

Well today I got a Zoro card in the mail for 15% off $150 or more or 25% off your order of $250 or more. I guess it is time to pick up the nice air compressor. Only need to find one that will be very dependable!!! Maybe I should pick up a Jet drill press. Who knows. I only have a so much I can...

I bought a bunch of expanded metal at sale. Only needed a few pieces and I have probably about 15-20 pieces of 5'x4'. I'm going to make a gate for my garage door when I have them open the dogs don't get out but not sure what to do with the other stuff... So what would you do with it?
