    in fact...funny i just remembered that review first review on that amazon link was Bought this 200 amp main breaker conversion kit, but not through Amazon. It fit my GE indoor 200 amp lug panel breaker box perfectly, and let me install a generator interlock kit. Great. Ended up purchasing...

    easiest gen trx switch options for this setup

    yeah i have no idea how they do that, there's no house breaker for it. Either taps off the disconnect or meter somehow i'd assume. I believe new installs are separately metered from what i've heard. Common to have one here we're all low

    easiest gen trx switch options for this setup

    yeah that makes a lot of sense i have a semi attached garage (connected via roof , but has breezeway) no 240 there, just 120 would be much easier to get 240 there than ran across house thru the breeze way. And a pool house/ shed is powered by a single circuit from the house breakers. Not much...

    Parallel Generator Kit

    It depends on your prepping purpose, but i store several midea inverter window units for just such an occasion (i'm in a shtf flood zone that get's it frequently) well worth a couple hundred and they only use 4-700 watts. Much easier on fuel burn as they ramp down too thus the inverter gen can...

    easiest gen trx switch options for this setup

    The exterior breaker is just a 200 amp main breaker...no other breakers or knock outs (thus why i suppose an interlock can't be used there without panel replacement?) the inside doesn't have a main it's just all the circuits and breakers. More i think about the feedback that does seem like...

    easiest gen trx switch options for this setup

    Yeah i wasn't 'clear on that...i was gonna get back to that one. But sounds that's a combo meter/breaker (moving the main to the meter breaker) , then flip the pre-existing main breaker into a generator interlock? they'd have to deal with the county sewer disconnect which would move to that same...

    Parallel Generator Kit

    you need a 240 generator or a protrans type panel where you put your 120v loads you want to switch over to on, is the way to go with those 120v gens ...just easier but so are drop cords.

    easiest gen trx switch options for this setup

    thanks for the replies the disco to the left goes to a low pressure sewage pump we pump uphill to the main lines in this area. The tall box on right of that is the main. Yeah no generlinks supported here. a protrans may be easiest and cheapest few hundred bucks and some wire, no need to...

    Can i quiet this down?!?!?!

    On My IR 2475, I had placed isolation pads on floor, made a couple 8ths rubber isolator gasket between tank and motor and pump, raised the intake. I couldn't tell jack. zilch. It changed the sound is all. The more I listened the more I realized it was the tank ringing (particularly higher once...

    Atlas 1020 drill press refresh, keep or replace this old electra motor

    So far so good. Ordered new quill and spindle bearings from accurate bearing (easy folk to deal with, sure beats trying to decode all of the bearing numbers to other brands). bearings were still a bit loose in those spun areas but better than the original ones. If i had time i would have...

    Jet dust collector

    The jet bags are kinda expensive for what they are but you can empty and reuse them a few times before there’s a tear. But i splurge here, i hate emptying the bags. Not sure how metal guys control dust, i thought those were different units. I have the same unit but 1 1/2 on 110v with canister...

    Jet dust collector

    Yeah rod & bag (they’re disposable). There’a a cloth or felt or something ring inside the bottom that holds the bag on it may be there...the bag just wraps around it and it kinda snaps into place but you don’t see it from the outside.

    easier to locate some on ebay, they’re on ebay with the handles usually, just have to mail the seller to double check the length which is what i did. Check craftsmen, atlas,etc

    Atlas 1020 drill press refresh, keep or replace this old electra motor

    Boy that’s a good idea. I’ll have to look. There’s about 5/8 wear on the shaft where it moved in it’s previous life. Even if i do that for just the top, bottom may be ok it’s pretty slight wear there. The bearing is wore for sure i can freely move it up and down the whole shaft. But maybe...

    Atlas 1020 drill press refresh, keep or replace this old electra motor

    Bit more inspection this morning...i’m thinking there’s a chance i could still use the shaft since i can remove the shaft thru the quill with no tools just by hand with some pretty light force, but there’s is shaft wear top is the worst ..but being able to slide the shaft out by hand with some...
