I read several threads of people with metal buildings where they put it on a pad with no overhang of the sheet metal (over the edge of the slab) and they had a hard time keeping water from coming in at the bottom. This could be solved with a slope on the outter slab but ehhh. Check out my...

I measured it with a digital caliper and its 28.55mm. I did clean the shaft up and make sure it was as clean as could be. Yeah going with the 28mm and having them machined to 28.5mm maybe the way I end up going. Just hoping there was a better option.

I'm not finding anything in 1 1/8", but the factory manual calls it out as 28.5mm.

I have a Snap-on EEWB305A, and having some trouble finding cones for it. It has a 28.5mm shaft which i'm finding out is not common. Unfortunately, I got the machine used and didn't check the cones it came with (live and learn), they are all different sizes. It does have one cone that fits...

Alright guys a bit long but maybe it'll help someone in the future. So I have a similar issue with a similar (but different) balancer. I ended up getting a Snap-on EEWB305A. It is a manual spin balancer. Tested it on site, everything seemed to work ok. Got it home and after running a few...

The ask. If you have this balancer can you confirm and or take a pic of the power supply? Looking to confirm that its a 120VAC to 9VAC 1.9A. I just picked one up and it seems its going to be a bit more of a project than I anticipated. Looks like they lost the original power adapter and put a...

I've used it when repairing my 3d printer and keeping the gas from rolling around I no longer drop tools 8n a random part of the engine bay or leave them on the cowl. If I'm working on the ATV they sit nice on the plastic fender to hold my stuff. Magnetic trays only go so far. Feels like I...

I've found these little silicone trays super helpful for car projects (and other handy projects). I bought one a while back and it was $25 and even then I thought it was worth it. The 3 tray set below is from Rural King and is only $20. I thought they might be flimsy junk but they're...

I went back and forth with several light ideas. Originally I was going to go with 15-18 dual LED tube fixtures un 3 rows. But in the end went with these high bay UFO lights. 150watt hyperlite units off amazon. 6 of them total. Very pleased with the light output though I will maybe add...

Got 6 of these hyperlite 150w units off amazon up ( temporarily rigged). Pretty happy with it in my 30x40. Might put one more smack in the middle but we will see. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Challenger CL-10. Love it! Interesting...the app loaded the photo upside down. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Another consideration...I'm looking at the high bay 'UFO's lights. Hyperlite brand seems to be well reviewed. Aparently for my 30x40x12 6x 150watt lights is more than plenty. They are dimmable so I will probably use a dimmer to allow me to set my desired lighting. I think 6x100watt would.be...

yeah it works really well. I put a picture in a few responses up. No electric and lighting ran yet but just finished all the interior insulation and paneling. Don't get me wrong I did have to do some 'special' steps and think things through. But the benefits and cost of the metal building...

I avoided water intrusion into my metal building by working with my contractor to have a 3/4" drop in the middle of the foundation wall. From there the concrete bevels down and out. This gives the sheet metal overhang to keep water out. I wanted to do this to: 1) Make sure water didn't get in...

I'm not sure its really an option especially if its insulated. I would not have felt comfortable with drilling holes through the metal frame for wiring to pass through. Not sure how that would have affected my insulation? I figure keeping the sheets with minimal cuts/gaps will help with...

There is no right or wrong answer to this. I was (as many are) in a similar dilemma as you. I have relatively little experience building buildings. I went with a car port style building. It was convenient and reasonably priced. Since I could have the concrete contractor do his part then the...

I guess it's all relative. It's just a 30x40 carport with insulation. Seen some incredible builds on here. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Thanks! Lighting and electric. But I think I might end up hiring the electric out. We will see.

Big step over the last few weeks. I got my wall coverings done. Again I wanted something light, durable, and that was going to be ok with the occasional water splash. Since I hope to be able to wash a car on the non-lift side. I went with a corrugated PVC sheet form Menards. It wasn't cheap...

overdue for an update. I got the ceiling insulation all done. Also while it was warmer i did the floor sealer. I ended up going with Ghost Shield 8510 (and the recommended densifier. I got it from https://www.garageflooringllc.com/ which I believe is a sponsor on here. Best price i could...
