Lets say I have a piece or steel plate or tubing with an inside feature or hole. If I want to do anything in there as far as smoothing, blending or similar- now I have 2 options. AO Drum on a mandrel and AO flap wheel. IMO both of these really ****. You get about 10 seconds of real use out of...

I have 2 angle grinders that could use cords. Big box store cords are too stiff. What should I be looking for SJTW? Anyone have a favorite cord? I would be tempted to order a spool of SJOOW and make some but the lighter gauge of a grinder cord coupled with the fact that it's 2 conductor make...

Guys, I'd like to pick this up to carry in my Jeep JK, it checks a lot of boxes. Since they seem to more prevalent in the UK than here, can anyone tell me if this is any good, or complete ****? I bought some small kits from Amazon UK around Christmas, they were pretty decent for the money...

Long time ago, when I worked in the truck dealership, we had a kit for making up air tank drain cords. Light cable and some smashable ferrules. We also used them to tether stuff, like pins and clips, a key etc. Anyone seen or have a kit they could recommend?

Can any of you guru's identify this "depth scale" that TOT uses in his bending video? I've got a plastic one from Kreg that is DARN handy, but I sure would like to have this metal one. I considered it might be shop made, but I don't think so based on that fact that the slotted rule looks legit.

Hey Guys, I've made a few threads that were essentially wrecked in the PB blowout, so I thought I'd like to have a place to collect my work and shop projects. I am an OEM Field Service Engineer in the heavy powertrain industry by day. Metalwork is my hobby, but there was a 3 year period where...

Would like to buy a SO PDR3A 3/8 keyless air drill. Looking for reasonably well cared for used condition, around 75-80 plus USPS.

I would like to buy a Kalamazoo belt grinder, I need to use ebay due to some large gift cards I'm sitting on. Anyone have buying experience with Sierra Victor Industries or Elite Metal Tools? Sierra Victor - I emailed them to confirm the type of shipping method, and got an unrelated reply...

I picked up a used mag drill a few months ago for a future project, and had the plan in mind to build a stand for it to get max use out of it. It is bitchin cool just by itself though. There just aren't a ton of these out there, so I pulled ideas from 3 places. I used to have a CNC plasma and...

Just got a mag drill ordered on ebay. Been waiting a while for the right one, and used my bottomless pit of United miles. Looking for cutter brands you are happy with or brands to avoid. 3/4 Weldon shank. I assume HSS is the preferred to avoid shattering. I'd rather buy decent or mid grade...

So, I found this nice image in the Google image search. It links to pinterest. Neither one will link me to the original location, like a contractors site or forum like this. Do any of you recognize this shop from a site or thread OR have the ability to reverse image search it? The instructions...

Have you built a DIY steel staircase, and do you mind sharing a picture?? I have a 2 story block shop, and this winter I want to tear out the oak "temporary" stairs from 1972 and replace with steel. I have the skills, tools, can design it in CAD and the steel is already in the concrete to weld...

Guys, I know ZEP powdered soap works pretty good on shop floors, I can buy a 5 gallon bucket reasonably not a problem. I've got an area about 15 sq ft. that has accumulated oil staining from about 1975-2005. I'd like to start working at the stain each year before I pressure wash. In a few...

Who has a pliers rack or other organizer that has some miles on? I found a lot of users with new racks, so no long term of opening and closing drawers etc. There seems to have been a big buying frenzy about 6 years ago. Sooooooo........ Still like em? Find something better? I'm moving out of...

So for background.....I am NOT a worshipper of the dead tree carcasses at all. My personal woodworking ability is best matched to framing lumber and plywood. My go to saw is a Skil Worm Drive. Impulse buy style I picked up an M12 Fuel circular saw to tackle basic wood butchering tasks around...

Sold

Anyone have, make or adapt a case for a Skill 77 worm drive saw? At this point my only idea is to grab a metal toolbox and cut a plywood insert for the saw to rest in. Got any pics or ideas to throw my way? ( I'm also in the same boat for a PC router, but I think I can get one on ebay if I'm...

Have you done it? Was it a good move? I am looking at making the switch from acetylene to propylene for my torch setup. I really just learned about this week and it certainly grabbed my interest. Feel free to share if you had a good or bad experience with propylene as the heating gas. Just...

Keeping things simple..........I happened upon an ACCO 40 ton shop press in overall very good condition. The issue is that the hand pump has been bastardized, and converted to work in theory on air or hand pump action. The guy I got it from states that pile of booger welds is unreliable. It...
