    Show us your cool, "old" drill press

    Not really a drill press, but an old post drill. I got it last night on the side of the road with other free stuff someone was getting rid of. It's missing the crank handle and feed arm. Couple of future projects. Everything turns free once I sprayed some lube on everything that should move.

    It looked like you have a three jaw chuck. You might want to put that on. Than you put round cylinder to turn in the chuck and it will self center. With a four jaw chuck that is on the lathe now you should have some dial indicator to center the part. This will get you going right away with...

    Belt Sander Recomendation

    I was told that the current porter cable stuff is targeted for homeowner grade. Not like the older stuff like I have bought in the past. I've used some of the new tools from porter cable and I was very disappointed.

    You may already know this about welding galvanized steel. Welding galvanized will give off toxic fumes. Best to weld with a respirator and in a well ventilated area. Also grinding away galvanized from welding area. I think it's called galvanic poisoning or something like that. Be safe

    USA Made Shop Press - What's it Worth

    If this press was a carolina tools press I would not pay $450.00 for it. It probably didn't cost that much new off the the truck. I had one of their bandsaws. It took allot of rework to get it to cut straight. I knew of another person that had a saw and they never got it to cut straight and...

    3" closed cell vs. 1" closed then filled w/ fiberglass?

    Just a quick guess, but I think your r value is higher the first way with fiberglass. I think if you filled the whole thing with foam it would give you a higher r value than with fiberglass.
