    Quick Coupler - name the brand.

    Already thought of that, but usually, products are just made for them by another party and they'll come back with "we don't know". Lets see what they say.

    Abrasive Blasting - What Media & What Grit Size?

    I've used commercial abrasive blast cabinets where I worked and at my friend's machine shop but now that I have a Skat Blast of my own in my home.... What type of media and what size media should I be using? Note, I am in no rush and I prefer something on the gentler side. And also a product...

    Makita Drill - Chuck Replacement?

    When I had a Black & Decker drill back in the 70s, it didn't have a screw holding the chuck so you never know how these things are put together from one manufacturer to the next. I guess so since most of the torque is in that direction even though it is a reversible drill. Although when it...

    Makita Drill - Chuck Replacement?

    The LH thread is what the local Makita shop told me. Thread direction crossed my mind when I was going at it. I guessed wrong. And according to them, the chuck is screwed to the shaft on the drill, just don't know if it is RH or LH. I asked it is is a taper fit like on my drill press and lathe...

    If a messy desk is a sign of a messy mind, what pray tell is an empty desk a sign of. LOL

    I got this at Princess Auto. See if Harbor Freight has it. I've also seen it on Amazon. https://www.princessauto.com/en/3-4-in-dr-extendable-breaker-bar/product/PA0008753808

    Makita Drill - Chuck Replacement?

    Saw that on YouTube the other week and forgot all about it. I just gave that a try but the L-wrench was small, but I'll check with my neighbor to see if he has an old worn out L-wrench that is larger. If it is tapered, it usually sounds like a shotgun when coming off having taken magnetos off...

    When the wheel nut on the car is torqued to 442 lbf/ft. you better have a 3/4 inch breaker bar along in case the local shop it gets towed to does not have one (and you cannot use an impact gun). And the breaker bar better be compact so that it can be stored in the car. Extendable (19" to 30")...

    Makita Drill - Chuck Replacement?

    OK, I bought this Makita 3/8" Reversible Drill back in 1984. It now needs a new chuck as it started binding a few years ago and it only got worse. Back in the old days, the chuck in my Black & Decker would spin off if you put a pin in the chuck hole and took a hammer to it. The chuck in the...

    Skat Blast Media Blast Cabinet

    I know the feeling except it was those thousand miler days on my motorcycle to get me to the EAA in Oshkosh, WI. It is worse now. Old age *****!

    Skat Blast Media Blast Cabinet

    I take it both you and HMCFab9 both built a base around it using something like 2 x 2 angle iron to which the wheels were then attached. I used 1.5 x 1.5 angle aluminum to stiffen the bottom edges and they were pop riveted to the sides of the base. The 2 x 8s were them screwed to them through...

    Skat Blast Media Blast Cabinet

    OK, so my Skat Blast is in my media blast room now to keep dust down in my basement. Look, it may be a cabinet, but having worked with a profession unit like an Empire, they all leak a bit. So I am installing the light unit and vacuum hose ferrule. Trying to install the vacuum hose ferrule on...

    Skat Blast Media Blast Cabinet

    In my case, that would have been a bit low for me. But if it works, why not.

    Skat Blast Media Blast Cabinet

    I happen to have bought a Skat Blast 960 Pro sandblasting cabinet and this would apply to any brand really. What the hell are they thinking? They fit one person of X height. Other than that, if you are short, you need a low step stool, or if you are tall, you need a church pew kneeler. LOL That...
