Admiral Metals in Woburn along with their drops department called Metal Source. There is also Metal Supermarkets in Woburn.

Ya, that's what I was thinking. Thanks.

It is one branch circuit.

Hi All, I installed three switches in a three gang box to control lighting in my shop. They are wired in an end-of-run configuration. I used 14/3 so I have a neutral available for each of the three circuits. Question: should I leave the three neutrals so that they are separate with their own...

:) I actually did this. The electrical supplier I use through work didn't have a direct line to CREE. He was going to buy them through 1000bulbs, so I just did it.

Thanks for the comment. The vendor was 1000bulbs.com. I would not recommend them at all. I had a terrible experience with them, and their customer support was awful. If you are looking to get some of these fixtures, I highly suggest a different vendor.

I just installed 10 LED troffers in my shop. They are made by CREE and I opted for the 4k color. They look great, white light, instant start. Huge upgrade over the six potlights that were there before. Now I can finally see what I'm doing. :rocker: Here's a video I made showing the lights and...

I did something similar to contain chips to certain areas in my home machine shop. I used a stainless steel cable and HF welding blankets. It works really well. See post 37 in this thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=204265&page=2

Guys, I'm digging through all kinds of spec sheets and ideas for the troffers in my basement machine shop. Has anyone tried the Cree ZR series of LED troffers? I'd love to see some in person. I see 1000bulbs.com has them for about $135 each...

Cool, I'll check out the ceiling to see if I can reconfigure it. What about parabolic v. lenses? Opinions on them?

Thanks for the replies. Is it difficult to change the 2' x 2' bays into 2' x 4' bays in the drop ceiling? If not, then going to 2' x 4' opens up a lot more options.

Hi all. I have a machine shop I have put together in my basement (really ground level of the house). The house started out as a split level, so the ceiling is very high in the shop and there is a drop ceiling in it with 2' tiles. The drop ceiling height is 92". Currently, there are a couple of...

I'm teaching an intro machining course and one of he students asked me last week about brands of measuring tools. Here is what I wrote to him: There are many brands to choose from for measuring instruments. Generally on the high end of quality tools are: Starrett, Brown and Sharpe, Mitutoyo and...

Sorry for your loss Outlaw. Safe travels and hope everything goes smoothly.

Scored a nice used import 12" height gauge on eBay. No brand marks on it, but it is nicely made with quality grinding and dual columns. Looks just like a Mitutoyo, and I think it probably came out of their factory. Came with a carbide scribing tip and an indicator holder. There is a cal sticker...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Added a short term annex garage for the new addition to the fleet!

Yup, I'm planning to stack them one on top of the other on a new base frame, should have mentioned that.

Craigslist find from this morning. The base is just a sheet of plywood and some uprights. The drawers are blueprint cabinets, and they fully extend. Top is formica with a frame so it locks into place. The whole assembly is 8' wide, 3' deep and the top is 46" tall! My phone is on top in one of...

Nice find. It looks like it has a VFD on it. If so, you will be able to change spindle direction with the VFD.

Looks like a carriage stop and a milling attachment.
