Hello all! Hope everyone is doing great! Question #1) I have a press clamp (9" inch screw type) and It is missing the foot. I don't really want to have to buy a whole new clamp so I am hoping there s a place I can buy some parts (a new foot). See the attached picture to see a press clamp similar...

Hello all! After an hour of my time was wasted with the RYOBI customer chat line, I thought I would come here and see if anyone here knows the answer. I have a RYOBI router, model R163G, and I need to know the size & type of the 3 screws that are used to hold the router to the bottom of the...

Hello all. After doing some online reading about the difference in power tool batteries, I have learned that 18v batteries and 20v batteries are essentially the same, and that saying that a battery is 20 volt is more of a marketing gimmick. (see...

Hello all! I've been pretty busy with all the help that I get from folks and I want to say a big THANK YOU! Folks here have given me some advice recently, and in the past, that has helped me do a few things around the house. May not seem much to most people but to an old person, one of the worst...

Hello all. I was trying to cut through two 3/4" inch thick pieces of plywood, stacked on top of each other, and no matter what I did the blade would wander. First of all, my jigsaw is many, many years old and vibrates enough to blast out a kidney stone (if I had any) or remove a dental filling...

Hi all! I've seen a couple of videos online about moving or even installing a gas line into a house. We have a gas line sticking out of the wall behind our stove that is a few inches too high and needs to be lowered (see pictures). We would also like to recess the gas line valve into the wall...

Had an electrician out to put our microwave on a separate circuit, plus convert some CFL kitchen ceiling lights to LED. Question #1) We have a light switch on the opposite end of our kitchen & it would cost $300 bucks to run a wire from the existing switch to add a new switch (making it a 3...

Hello all! ! Looked but can't find anywhere a source that lists of the dimensions of craftsman table saw tops. I have a Craftsman 113 series which uses a 20" inch W X 27" inch L table top. I would like to get another (cast iron if possible) table top to use for an extension. I have looked my...

I think I already know the answer but maybe I am wrong: My guess is that there isn't any kind of collet adapter, or anything else, that would allow the use of 1/2" inch shank size router bits in a router designed to use 1/4" inch shank size router bits. I believe there is a way to do the...

Hello all! I am installing a new range exhaust hood where there was never any exhaust ducting at all (it was a microwave with a built-in ductless recirculation filter system). Anyway, the new duct (8 inches in diameter) will have 1 elbow and then a 12' foot straight run to the outside wall. Just...

Hi folks! Everyone here has always been very helpful so I am hoping someone here can offer some suggestions on what to do in our cabinet layout 'dilemma'. Long story short: We have all the wood for new cabinets (upper and lower) cut but the boss of 36 years thrown in a 'challenge' just before...

Hello all! Folks here have been great in answering my question and offering advice so I though I would ask another question. The gas fitting behind our stove looks like a 1/2" but the inlet fitting on the back of the stove is 3/4" inch. Would using a flex line gas hose with a 1/2" inch fitting...

Hello all! Just wondering if anyone here, who has the "Board Buddies" anti-kick back rollers, has ever had to replace the bearings in the rollers? Of course Grizzly wants you to buy another whole roller, and I need two. From what I can tell, it's just a little one-way or clutch type bearing...

Hello all! I have a Craftsman 113 series table saw and I am looking for a zero clearance insert. I removed the one that is on the saw and it measures 14" inches long X 3-3/4" wide X 1/8" inches thick. I see that Peachtree offers one they say is for this saw but theirs is 3/16" inches thick...

Hello all! Got another question on building/mounting upper kitchen cabinets. Can I use 1/2" thick nailing strips to hold the upper cabinets to the wall, instead of using 3/4" inch thick strips? For the back story on this question: In the back of our current builders grade kitchen cabinets, they...

Hello all! You folks here have been extremely helpful in the past and I am hoping someone here can help me find what I need. I came across an old Biesemeyer model 78-920 T-Square fence system and it has a few things that need to be fixed/replaced. Does anyone here have a source for the clear...

This might be a stupid question on measuring and cutting but I will ask anyway. Many, many years ago, when I was only elbow height to my own father, he showed me that you measure at least twice and THEN you cut. He also told me that when you draw the 'cut line', that the line 'ends' the piece...

Hi all! I came across some Bisesmeyer T-square fence parts and I am wondering how the thing mounts to the back of the saw table. The one I am looking at is about a foot longer than my saw table, and it doesn't have any rail for the back of the saw, for the end of the fence to mount. From the...

Hello all. I've been looking for a negative hook blade with at least 60 (or more) teeth and I came across some that said they have a negative rake?? Is saying that a blade with a negative rake is the same as saying it has a negative hook? Also does anyone know where to get negative rake/negative...

Hello all! We have 6 overhead kitchen can lights that take GX23 bulb sockets. The lighting was not the best and the bulbs never really 'snapped-in' tightly into the fixture (not a good thing when living in earthquake country). About 2-1/2 years ago I got some GX23 to E25/E26 adapters and put in...
