Like I said I have a 14'' Craftsman Professional bandsaw. I like it for wood and plastic. I have tried it with a couple things of metal but it eats up my metal blades way way to fast. The slowest speed I can get it from the factory is like 1620 slow 3340 fast feet per minute. Anyone know if I...

I keep coming up with a allen head or a screw head it seems. All I want is a regular nut and bolt package but maybe that is asking way to much. Not like they make 3/16'' stuff anyway. Might just have to stay with the allen head but then I need to make sure I have that allen head wrench with me...

Thought you guys might want to order this while it's on sale. This is a light that has like a crane arm with it. You could always use a light but it always seems like it is in the wrong place. Not anymore with this crane arm light. The fastenal part number is 0769809 The web address is...

I was wondering if the ones on amazon are the same quality as fastenal? Maybe you buy yours somewhere else. So who do you buy yours from? Do you use one size more then the others? I won't be using any metric as my race/street car is all standard size. Also what is the difference between the...

Anyone on here sell aluminum tubing for air compressor in garages? I'm thinking either 3/4 or 1 inch for my garage. I would prefer to get it from a company that has been selling it for a while. That way if I need stuff in the future it is likely I will still be able to get stuff. This isn't for...

So I have a Milwaukee chop saw. It works great and can't complain until the last two times I have used it. Twice now I have tried to cut 1/4'' steel plate. One was 6'' wide the other was 4'' wide. It seems like it cuts fine until I get almost through it. Then does the metal get to hot or what? I...

I was wondering what is the first purchase you have bought from the tool truck? I know someone out there has gotten that one thing they hated or have liked. I actually bought a snap on 3/8 drive flex head ratchet. It is the 936 which doesn't have the fine tooth. I have bought a fine tooth since...

I have kept this bench as cheap as I could. All the metal was used except the 2x3 box tubing which I had bought a full piece 24' long and had it cut in half. I would say I have a total of maybe $150-$200 max in this. I had the one top piece sand blasted but the other pieces I didn't waste the...

I have two garage stools. Wouldn't you know it the plastic piece on the bottom has cracked off the one leg making it wobble. I can't stand it. The other one has rubber pieces and two of them are off. What is something I can use to keep these stools from doing this? The picture below is a picture...

Ok guys I think we could get this thread moving and have some fun with it also. We don't always know the people in the forum. So Let's guess or even if you know what that person above you needs let them know. Then let them know why they need this specific tool. I will post a picture so it will...

I have some 1/16-3/32 steel plate I need to cut. I might cut up to 1/4" from time to time. Does it matter if the steel is hardened or not? What am I looking for? I don't need this all the time. Might use it for a couple cuts then not use it for months. I want something dependable but I don't...

Electric grinders that you own. Do you guys keep them all the same manufacturer with the same part number? I can't buy the makita I have and love it. They no longer make it but the newer version of it I can't stand it in my hands. I also have a real gear but don't care for the side switch...

I need help making some stuff more easily to be used on the bench but not on the work bench all the time. I bought 2.5" square tubing like what a truck hitch is made of. I also bought 2" square tubing to go in like a receiver. My problem lies in trying to weld the 2.5" square tubing to my bench...

The front of the garage is 40' wide. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what I want to do for the front. I was thinking about Trusses with sheet metal roof. I would like to come out about 24' but would settle on 20' if need be. The ground is stone and dirt right now. It will be...

Guys I'm tired of going back to the corner for air. I'm also tired of the air line hose on the ground when I'm 10's from the wall and there is 20 feet or better of hose on the ground. So anyway what do you recommend? I thought about the blue stuff that is aluminum. The ones you see on horsepower...

Well I have a Makita grinder with a paddle switch that I bought probably like 15 years ago. I love it to death. In the last 3 years I bought a Real Gear with side switch and a Milwaukee 18 volt fuel electric one that is awesome just don't want to be using it like I have been. I have been hard on...

I have 1/4'', 3/8'', and 1/2'' snap on cushion grip. I have one of each of the 936 and the fine tooth. (72 and 80). I have some extra 936's and was wondering if I could swap out the internals for the fine tooth stuff? I don't work at a shop so I can't just get the snap on guy to replace them...

I mean come on its a tube in the concrete. Ok so what does it take besides that? Do you have to insulate between the concrete and the stone? What does it cost in material to do say 1,000 square feeet so it's easier to calculate if people have less or more space. What do you have to do to...

Thinking about buying a 10,000 pound used John Bean lift. Can anyone tell me more about them? Are they as good as Rotary? Maybe only as good as Bend Pak. Please let me know any information you can tell me. I already looked at the model. It is 10,000 lb, assymetrical, 144'' high, and 106 3/4''...
