Im starting to do a multipart air drying system for my air compressor. I'm almost done with stage one I'm just waiting on 4 more fans and a 12v power supply but I have a radiator plumbed between the pump and the tank with a moisture trap right after the radiator. That seems to have made a major...

I just want to post this is little psa since there seems to be quite a few folks doing plasma cutters. I contacted Everlast a couple of days ago about upgrade the s45 torch clone to a machine torch for cnc use. I was quickly shot down and told that I would blow up my little machine and that...

Alright guys I'm at a loss and need some help, I found a Miller cp-200 power source with a xra wire feeder for 250 but the gun was well worn out and didn't seem cost effective to fix. A couple days later I found an S-60 with psa-2 adapter for 200 and then a 250 amp tough gun whip for 50. All...

My wife left the state to visit her brother to meet our new little niece. I took that as a opening to ask for forgiveness and do a small motorcycle project ive wanted to do. So ive also never worked on a bike or even owned one before. This has been a rediculous learning curve and knowledge...

Gentlemen and ladies let these images be a reminder that we need to drain our air compressors every day. host image online After i cut it open and cut out the worst part i was able to run a couples beads with a band to seal the two parts and put the tank back into service as a resevoir tank...

Im going to purchase my first mill in the near future. Ive been looking at an R45 variant. Mainly the Precision Matthews 932m-Basic or the Grizzly G0761. I realize im comparing oranges to grapefruit here, real similar but different. The price on the fully equipped PM is several hundred more...

How many of you guys here make your own custom length saw blades? My horizontal bandsaw uses 72 1/2 inch blades and nobody locally carries metal cutting blades for these. I was considering tig brazing or silver soldering them. Any experience with this, helpful tips or things to watch out for...

I can't stand getting flashed while tig welding and I've dexided its time for a new hood. My HF auto darkening is fine for stick and not but not for low amp tig. The problem is that I cant afford a 200 helmet for tig work right now. So I was hoping you guys might give me some input on passive...

Alright folks, can anyone recommend me a tape measure that doesnt have a hook that moves. I get that it accounts for a saw blade, but I want one that can give me the same measurement if measured from an inside or outside measure.
