That would depend on his description of "lived in Chicago". It takes more to be a Yooper than tar paper house siding and 6 snowmobiles decorating the front yard year-round. ;)

Any floor drains and grades to specify?

I finished my grinder cart. Works Great. - New Craftsman box to match my 1980's tool box, on sale for $229. Not as good as HF, but gute enuf. - Casters: I went with 3 inch retractable wheel castors that result in VERY stable box - con is the tedious wheel up/down mechanism (tradeoffs). -...

I like this idea mentioned above in two posts:

As the previous different answers allude, you need to determine if it is moisture from below or condensation from above. This time of year in Michigan, the very cold concrete can condense moisture on humid days. I have dry concrete garage floors but underneath some mats it will be wet. I...

Correct, like the picture below. Some floor drains have a sediment trap/cup to catch solids. The OP should also install a proper grate that sits flush with the floor.

No chainsaw thread can exist without bringing out the testosterone induced bragging, LOL. Men with big saws ................ The effectiveness of a quality hand pruning saw would put the Bosch in its place.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm going to give this a whirl.

Good point. I will be storing "rough" tools and supplies in mine like chisels, enclosed drill bit cases, etc. Nothing delicate. A very simple plastic curtain/cover could be applied over the drawer front during grinding operations. Maybe something with magnetic strips. Because grinding is...

Workbench height cart only 34 inches like shown below(27"L x 18"W x 34 H): I would put some serious weight in the bottom drawer for added stability. 8 inch wheels, 60 pound, 120v Dayton grinder,. Are there any drawbacks to doing this?? Thank you.

Thank you. I only have experience with my old 1750rpm 10 inch behemoth grinder for general farm shop use - grinding parts for welding, shaping, fitting, etc.. I DID sharpen my mower blades, using water cooling, but no other precision sharpening. You are saying that moving to a 3400rpm 8"...

I thought the same, but this is at a workplace and modifications would be subject to our litigious society. Jet has a 1750rpm "woodworkers" model with adjustable angle tool rest. Maybe I could swap tool rest or go with this slower, less HP/amp Jet...

Yikes, the JET does not have an adjustable angle tool rest, which I really liked on my old beast. This might be a deal breaker. At your suggestion, looking at a Dayton now: https://www.grainger.com/product/2LKR9?gucid=N:N:FPL:Free:GGL:CSM-1946:tew63h3:20501231&gQT=1 Dang, not too many heavy...

Delete, double post

Thank you all for the input. In the past I have never used a power tool to sharpen knives, chisels, etc.. I have bench grinded mower blades carefully, using a water dip to keep them cool. And, I do enjoy a wire wheel on my bench grinder to clean up things. I'm leaning towards the single...

I'm torn between the Jet 3600 RPM Industrial Bench Grinder and it's variable speed equivalent for an Ag. Equipment shop. https://jettools.com/ibg-8-8-industrial-bench-grinder ..... vs. ... https://jettools.com/ibg-8vs-8in-variable-speed-industrial-grinder Will the more complex variable...

Assuming drywall ceilings, can't the penetrations simply be caulked/sealed from the interior living space? I'm confused.

Reiterating this good advice. My workplace had a Genie TMZ50/30 trailer lift (different). It was a money pit for maintenance. Electronics, hydraulics, physical issues, etc.. At a workplace, OSHA/ANSI requires annual inspections by certified mechanics, with other user inspections on a...

If overfilling, it seems that the paper thin overflow past the crack edge would glue to the concrete and not be able to be cut off and result in a very ugly seam. This regards a saw cut seam with square edges. Maybe your razor blade example was a rounded edge seam like used on sidewalks -...
