    Found a deal on craigslist? - List Here!

    Honestly I don't know enough about drill presses to say what it was, I just know the older ones are sought after on here so I post them when I see them. The one listed for 30 was a bench top model, the style with a cast iron head and exposed belt pulleys. The same guy had some interesting...

    Forstner Bit for Drilling Aluminum?

    Another vote for a uni / step bit. The HF 3 piece set has surprised me. Recently used one too cut several 7/16" holes in 3/16 steel plate. I expected the bit to only live through 3 or 4 holes, but it did the entire job and still going strong.

    Homeowner compressor ideas

    I believe I've seen some positive info on here about the HF oil lubed compressors. They likely have the same parts as the other "budget" machines.

    Homeowner compressor ideas

    Screw compressors are awesome. Tons of air, quiet enough to stand next to and have a conversation. Unfortunately I don't have that much disposable income. I think the two we use at work were like $15k each. In the real world, there is no way I would buy an oil free compressor for stationary...

    Best Compressor you Have Owned

    I've got a 3HP Sears 220v "Paint Sprayer" compressor. 20 or 30 gallon, not sure which. Picked it up on CL for $60 from on older guy who had bought it new. While it won't do what the big 60 gallon uprights can do, it surprises me how much it CAN do. I run an impact and die grinders primarily and...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Go with motor oil. From the reviews on HF site, it won't prime with actual bar oil. My experience backed that up.

    Compressor leaks - where else to look

    Not sure this is your problem, but I agree with Charles. I'd hard mount the regulator to something, and run a line from the tank output.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    Picked up an electric pole saw for around $60 plus tax. Like many, it took some running without the bar to get the oiler to prime, but then it was fine. Used it to cut some decent sized limbs off a cherry tree and it did great. Definitely a PASS.

    MDF vs Hardboard for painted benchtop? And what paint?

    Thank you for the picture, I like that look, this is the direction I'm leaning right now. Is that paint oil based, or a latex, of did the hardboard require any primer or special prep? For those with melamine, did you use the bonded MDF (local store has 3/4" sheets) or the thinner fiberboard...

    MDF vs Hardboard for painted benchtop? And what paint?

    If building my own bench, I'd definitely look for some doors, but this was built by the previous owner of the house, and I'm not in a position to tear it out and start over. I can't add that thickness over the existing bench do to the location of the electrical outlets.

    MDF vs Hardboard for painted benchtop? And what paint?

    I was originally considering the Melamine panels, but in my web research, it seems to be well liked by the wood working crowd, but the fab / repair folks don't so much think it's tough enough. The other reason is that I can easily touch up minor damage to a painted surface. Slednut - that is a...

    MDF vs Hardboard for painted benchtop? And what paint?

    The bench in my garage is 2' wide by 20' long. It it topped with 3/4" plywood that it very oil stained and dark. It wasn't pretty when I moved in, and I haven't helped. I want to brighten it up some, and give it some oil and chemical resistance. My plan is to overlay it with either MDF or...
