I believe they are the makers of the Bosch boxes. Not sure if these are great deals but posted them for those who like these...

I have often heard that amps are the killers, not the volts. On the other hand, I also heard that in NA we adopted 120 volt for most items, versus 240 volt like most of the planet because it is safer if inadvertently shocked.... which is weird because all those 240 volt items are always 1/2...

I found these at an indoor flea market, the were 50 cents each or 3 for $1.00. I took the 8 nut drivers and added the stubby Craftsman to make it $3.00...which I am very happy about. I want to clean of the acetate handles and wondering if there is an oil, cleaner, conditioner or anything of the...

I do not have one yet , but maybe soon I will have a milling machine. My current "shop" setup, I do not have a good place to put it in a permanent setup, so I would like some kind of a rolling base. Eventually, a suitable location will be made and it can remain there, but for now, I need to be...

I have a 10 x 20 foot uninsulated shed, no drafts but open soffits for good air circulation. I would like a decent heater for winter which between Dec and March is below freezing and often -20 or less. After considering the many options, a tube heater is my best bet because it can get the area...

My wife makes stuffed animals, pillows and other items that are fiber filled. She does it by hand and it is very time consuming, so I checked around for a used machine, something like what you see in the Build-A-Bear stores, but hopefully smaller and not too expensive (like video but smaller)...

Anyone know what these are? I picked them up at an auction, both for $5. I figured if I can't use them for whatever they are intended, I can cut them and have 8 commercial casters and some decent 2" square tubing for welding projects. But still curious as to what they might be. EDIT: -...

The threads on what are the best penetrating oils, usually Kroil and homemade mix of 50/50 acetone and ATF get the most votes. Some questions for those that use it, ATF Dexron, Type F, G or any other kind, just go for the cheapest one or does the type make a difference? The acetone, I know...

I am still patiently looking around for a mill. There have been some decent used ones, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I don't have a pickup, so when I find one, I will either rent a trailer or U-Haul truck or pickup, depending on the size. My question is for anyone who has done this, with...

http://www.harborfreight.com/two-speed-variable-bench-mill-drill-machine-44991.html I know about many of the cons of this unit, and I know of the many alternatives. The one big advantage of this unit is the price, when you have coupons. I am not buying soon necessarily, and just considering...

I put together an Excel Spreadsheet with specs, links to pics, as well as a second worksheet that has links for brochures, general ads, news articles and patents. Vise Info Spreadsheet - Specs & Brochures...

I just got my machine and am in the process of setting up a 230v outlet in my garage. In the manual in the section "Power Sources - Input Voltage and Current" it states for 230, Max amps at 27 amps. So I went to HD and got a 2 pole 30 amp breaker, and already have plenty of 10 gauge wire...

Any recommendations for welding? Less about technique, more concerning what metal you have, which wire or rod to use with it, as well as appropriate gas. Cast iron, I beams, stainless high content, to low content and also when you are not sure of the metal composition, what do you use? What...

I have a 140 MIG 120v welder, gas or flux core (currently setup for gas, I have a green tank ...an Argon mix for general welding), a house brand that is made in the USA, that I purchased about 30 years ago. I haven't touched it in about 15-20 years and now want to get back into welding. I am...

Two questions: First, anyone with a bench grinder, regardless of the size, do you prefer a grinding stone on each side, or a stone and wire wheel on the other? Second, anyone with a 10" bench grinder, where are you finding stones, wire wheels...etc? I ended up getting a grinding stone and a...

I just got this grinder http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6153863&posted=1#post6153863 Below are pics of the wiring, pic # 6 has wire labeling. I have to assume it is currently wired for 240, it has a 20 amp 250v twist lock plug. There are 6 wires coming out of the motor...

Just got this 8" Baldor for $100, was happy as heck till I saw it is 110volt 3 phase. There is no plug, it was hard wired, do I just wire it with with a NEMA 15 and let her rip or do I need something special due to it being 3 phase? If there are any issues running the 3 phase, the guy also has...

When you order from Amazon.de does it ship UPS, which in turn has them collect taxes, duties, and then UPS's brokerage fee? For Stahlwille, who do most go to for best deals for delivery in USA or Canada? (And no extra fee surprises)
