Usually when I need to get a new piece of equipment, engine or something that is heavy I will clean up. Got a two car garage, one side is occupied by a car that hasn't moved in 5 years (on stands) the other side gets accumulated with junk, there is an I beam with a hoist that spans the center...

My die grinder is pretty much the same thing as the dremel I think, any bits you recommend to get in there?

I have a die grinder here that I tried with a drum sander attachment, it sort of worked but because it is round it isn't able to sand all of it. Also the sanding drums kept flying off lol. Regarding the emery cloth, I was trying to avoid having to do it manually if I can :-)

Hi, I have an alternator housing that I would like to polish but in order to do so there is some rough castings that need to be sanded, now the problem I have is there is some areas that I cannot get into very easily. I have a small belt sander that takes 10mm wide belts but it's still too big...

you would need a hf box if you want to tig weld aluminium with an ac arc welder

Well today I fininally decided to put the compressor outside the garage as I got sick of it being in the way all the time. It's sitting under a tarp at the moment. I'm thinking of making up a box to cover it up, it will have some grills on the sides for ventilation and possibly a fan if need...

Does kerosene work better than diesel?

Well after work today I set it up in the garage, now just need to buy a solvent so I can use it. What works best? Also i'm thinking of mounting some casters on it so I can move it around if need be as when it's full it's going to be pretty heavy.

Hi, I've had a parts washer for a few years now, just never got around to setting it up. It's a 40 gallon like this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BRAND-NEW-40-Gallon-Parts-Washer-240V-Workshop-Equip_W0QQitemZ350336282749QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Tool_Parts_Accessories?hash=item5191ab707d Just...

that is awesome, best idea I have seen in awhile. Where the T-slot tables hard to source, cheap? I assume they are old milling machine tables?

Just wondering how high your roof is?

I'm thinking about setting part of the garage up as a gym, though it needs to take up as little space as possible as I don't have much as it is. Just wondering if anyone has done something like this before, pics would be good. Thanks

Thanks, might have to invest in one I think. You just hit it with the hammer?

I've never used one of these before, are they a good thing to have in the tool box. I am thinking they are used to loosen sturbon phillips head or flat head screws. Do they actually work well, because i've stripped quite a few before. Thanks

They are made in Portugal

Well picked up the set today, had to travel to a few stores as they were sold out. Quality looks good as expected and the handles feel nice to use. I'm not really a fan of the storage pouch that was included with them though. Might have to find something else suitable.

Hi, I'm just after some opinions on a BAHCO file set that i'm looking at purchasing. It's the same set that's on ebay at this address http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BAHCO-5-PC-8-200mm-FILES-SET-FOR-METAL-NEW_W0QQitemZ160383168030QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Hand_Tools?hash=item255794ee1e only i'll be...

In Australia we have two different brands that I know of that look exactly the same as these except for the following differences: The handle, the direction change knob and the brand name. They both have life time warranty as well. One is listed as being made in taiwan, not sure on the other...

I just bought a CP-825 1/4" which has a working torque range of 6-20 Nm. It hasn't arrived yet so cant really comment on its performance but being CP I don't think I will be disapointed.
