Thank you, funny you mention the table though. It's a 4x4 rolling Lyon table that I got out of a dumpster at a TWA museum!

Don't know what you're talking about. You must have fabricated that quote sir...

Sorry, I've waited all my life for this moment and now I've screwed it up! :dunno::dunno::dunno:

Today I had the morning off and happened upon an estate sale. There was the workshop of an obvious machinist skilled tinkerer and among some other small scores (Nicholson files, homemade vise, homemade sine plate (more photos to come)) was this surface plate beneath a pile of other goodies. I...

I've been a Millwright for 8 years, been working spotty at a cement plant for 5 years and I've pretty much taken up residence at a local cement plant/deep mine here in Kansas City. I've been steady at the same place now for 2-1/2 years now (sounds weird but it's pretty rare for a contractor)...

I've not owned the 3490 but I would always prefer the knurled handle. It provides a much better grip when greasy or oily. As far as I know, the heads are identical so no difference there. Consider I am an industrial mechanic working in cement production and foundries so I may have different...

Cape chisel, great for removing rotten pipe ******* like Metaldad said. They are also great for cleaning out keyways or even cutting them deeper.

There's a 65 amp hypertherm at work I use all the time. It cuts through up to 1 inch (slowly) just fine. Running on 480 3 phase. I haven't used anything bigger than a 65 before so I'd bet for general fabrication 65 amps would be more than enough. I'm betting the lower end Chinese ones have come...

Yeah I first thought he was talking about the 3.0xc batteries not the HO. Ive got a few of the 6.0 HOs and notice a bit of difference on things like the hammer drills. I don't have a chainsaw but I wouldn't ever think to put a 5.0 on my sds max hammer drill unless it was my only option

You do from most places like supply houses but home depot won't do warranty without a receipt from what I've heard. (I've never tried it there). The warranty is through the manufacturer so it's whoever it's authorized dealers are. If you can't find anyone that will help you out you can mail it...

As far as I've seen home depot is about the WORST place to buy batteries. Amazon is the cheapest I've seen. That being said 5.0 is the same weight with more run time. Worth the extra cash if you ask me. If you're wondering how I know, I've got 22 M18 batteries... Edit: just noticed you said...

Not really. Did another eBay search, #2 on the list had a 1/2 drive 1-3/16 12 point in a lot with 2 other sockets. Do you have some issue with eBay?

I guess I'll never know!

I can understand the want to complete a set. Unrelated though I've had a 1-3/16 proto impact socket for 10 years and I've never encountered a bolt that size! I have used the socket though on 30mm bolt heads. Now I've got the proper metric sockets though! Good luck with your search...

Carbide chop saw will definitely fit your needs and take up the same amount of room. Same capacity with a better clamp system. I 5hink people here like the evolution dry cut saws.

It looks to me like an intentionally bottomless planter. Like something that goes at the bottom of a tree that's actually too big for a pot! I see 3 feet. And the teeth looks intentional

Yeah the advantage there is clearly speed. I have seen the smaller 2 man version before at a power plant. I believe they used it to open and close large valves. Seems to me like old school technology. Something the an in place motorized Valve or something would replace.

16 is good for all around use. For me it is a good weight for a constant hammering where a 20 would hurt my elbow. Vaughn makes a great wood handle ballpeen I've still got my first one I've had for years!

McMaster has a keyless square drive Chuck for 77 buck looks pretty high quality too.

The Ernst work well but they have a short life span in my experience.
