No, I didn't get the sander. I really don't have a use for it or the space.

I feel stupid for asking because it's probably a simple answer... What's the knob for on the left side?

It's a model 1764 It has a Howell International 3/4 HP 1725 rpm motor 110/220V It's missing the top cover, which I didn't realize until I got home but it's not a big deal. Everything else is nice and tight, all knobs and moving pieces are free and not rusted. I'm pretty happy with it, my back...

Got it! Will post more details tomorrow. I know it's a 3/4 HP motor. It runs smooth, quiet and the speed adjustment works too. It still in the truck. It's actually a bit bigger in person than it appeared in photo. He also had this craftsman belt/disc sander for $75...

$200...worth it? Seems to me like it's a beast.

Stick it to your tongue like the old 9v battery test.

Quality or cheap, pick one...

That's BS. I would not be happy if I were you. Of course, I'd also likely be trespassed and lifetime banned from the store too. :evil:

How exactly do you use a tap on a drill press since typically they only spin in one direction?

6" slab rebar or not is more than sufficient. I know your ordeal was a PITA but it looks like you'll have a nice floor out of it all in the end. Even a slab done by a good crew will have some minor high/low spots. Yours is nice and flat now. Enjoy it, it will be nice.

You might ask the supplier to add more retarder in the mix to give you a longer work time. Adding too much water will weaken the mix and reduce strength but makes workability easier. There are admixtures that promote workability and set times without compromising strength. A power trowel is...

Cement is just one component of concrete. It is the "glue" that holds everything together. Concrete is comprised of aggregates such as rock and sand, water, chemical admixtures which modify the properties of the concrete, and of course cement along with slag or flyash occasionally. Calling a...

Do they give you the rest of the materials to make concrete too? :evil:

Right in the ballpark, if not a little cheaper where you are. Don't forget to add (or ask about) taxes, environmental fees, fuel surcharge, short load fee if applicable The "extra" **** adds up

"Can" and "will" are different things. Of course it CAN be done. It's a simple change for admin. Whether it WILL be done is a different story. I'm guessing too many people asked too many times for this service (because they are a PITA) and now the answer is just "NO". What difference does a...

It looks very similar to this MAC set I had for doing alignments on 80s GM vehicles.

Does King **** make pliers?

Got this x 2 and my buddy got one. We didn't even buy anything that day, just warranted a screwdriver and triple square bit. I don't carry a balance either. I'm a "cash sale" walk on and I just pay for what I want or need. I don't have a shop, I just call him and he meets me somewhere when he is...
