    Riddle me this about HF saw blades

    Ok, you're literally PUSHING the blade into the cut

    Need Help building bike rack from Fabricators and CAD guys

    Yes, not enough tongue weight will cause loss of stability. This isn't a pop-up camper issue; it's a trailer issue! But if the solution to that is just adding more weight to the tongue, the overall weight of the trailer just goes up. Overloading campers is apparently enough of a problem that I...

    Riddle me this about HF saw blades

    How can it climb? All the material that it could want to climb is already turned to sawdust!

    Riddle me this about HF saw blades

    In most instances, I pull the saw out, plunge, the push in, so there's no self feed to happen.

    Workbench needed

    How are those not going to roll around? The picture shows a caster with what looks like a small diameter, which means harder to roll around, and no brake, either on the wheel or the swivel.

    Once you start adding weight to the back, and counter weight to the front, you can get to the axle capacity on those little campers pretty fast

    Need Help building bike rack from Fabricators and CAD guys

    At the risk of complicating things (it's what I do), I am thinking of an apparatus that swings down over the side to attach the bikes to.

    Need Help building bike rack from Fabricators and CAD guys

    I've not been a big fan of 8020, mainly because of the cost. But for bolt-together, minimal tooling, ease of assembly, and versatility, it's awfully hard to beat it!

    Riddle me this about HF saw blades

    I looked into resharpening for the makerspace, but while the cost wasn't horrible, it wasn't great either, vs a new diablo blade. Worst was the months-long TAT.

    Bandsaw wheels out of plane

    I was gonna suggest buying a Bridgeport to make the repair parts, but I suppose a 3d printer will do

    Machinists level.

    He referenced leveling to the center of gravity, which is a single point in space about which the vessel would be balanced.

    Machinists level.

    The center of gravity is a single spot. It's not a line or a plane

    Machinists level.

    You can't have "level" without 3 points, or a plane. How do you level something to a single point? 🤦‍♂️

    Connecting air tools at full pressure

    What is the line pressure where you are connecting? Connecting to 150 psig is going to be harder than 90 psig

    Connecting air tools at full pressure

    All of the safety couplers only release the air pressure before letting go of the coupling so that a hose isn't flopping around from the pressure that's built up. None do anything to make it easier to insert the tool. Not all couplings require the locking sleeve to be pulled back. Some stray...

    Connecting air tools at full pressure

    I could see where somebody with arthritis or maybe just weaker hands might have trouble gripping the hose or tool. Yes, putting a valve at each drop and then bleeding off any pressure in that hose would do what you want.

    roll cabinet 42"

    The usg and snap on latch annoy me so I chose the husky which has a latch similar to the Rousseau or grip latch system which feels more natural.

    roll cabinet 42"

    I don't know that I would say they are better. Definitely better than the Yukon line, but the usg feels more solid to me. I looked at usg, icon, husky and used snap on. I like the positive latching that the husky box i bought has, but none of the other husky had it. Usg, has a latch. Others use...

    Workbench needed

    Same for the casters I screenshotted. I use one on my 7x12 bandsaw and just stepping on it won't lift the saw.
