The miter saw thread reminded me that I want to figure out a better dust collection solution for the miter saw at the makerspace. Why is it so hard to get people to clean up their messes? Anyway, I've looked at a lot of things people have done including the shopnation thing. Those that work...

I like my Ridgid folding stand. In fact, after putting my hpt saw on it, I went and bought another and put my evolution on it. The only downside is it's bulky and heavy if you have to pick it up to put it in the back of a truck. But take the saw off and it gets a lot lighter and taking the saw...

Yes tilting, adjusts tracking

He know what he got

Tilting the wheel likely is just a tracking adjustment

Yeah that's a good idea. Maybe somebody should. Smh

I think they should take them off

Tbf, what really beats Excel formulas and merged cells? Toss in some borders and gradient shading and... (Faints)

I've thought about those but would need one so rarely it's hardly worth the expense for me. Not that I've let that stop me in the past. For rattle cans I stick them in the lathe. I still don't really understand how spinning the can mixes the paint since it doesn't seem to rely on the ball. But...

I hate to think about a machine sitting outside under a tarp. Dallas isn't Phoenix. Won't take too long before it'll be a rusted heap unless you take steps to protect it.

The thing that's scary about that is how far away it can reach out and touch you

Admittedly, if they are closed for an extended holiday, it would be nice if their outgoing message said so as well as an auto response for email. Maybe there was an auto response in your spam folder?

If you really want to go overboard, which any of this beyond screwing it together which you've already done, get a plug cutter and cut plugs with matching grain so you can't even tell there's a plug there! I think that's a mounting hole though. You said bottom board so maybe that's how you are...

When I removed the knob, I thought that's a funny looking washer!

Again, why would the average Joe know that? For that matter, I bet the average Joe has not even heard the term wire rope. It's all cable to him. I dunno. Is Kansas in the rust belt? My f150 thinks so. Still doesn't change the fact that a breaker bar the snaps when you stand on it is pretty useless.

I watched a fabrats video last night where they are building a truck and he did the alignment on the lift. You're right, it wasn't very dramatic.

Oh, I get it. Sometimes you have to troubleshoot a live circuit. I think the only time I ever had to was in ET A-school. I'm ok with that. I remember all the checks beforehand. Blowing up the rubber gloves to check for pin holes.

I would get my money back too if the breaker bar can't handle that. It would hate seeing a cheater pipe coming its way!

I still don't know why this is so funny. Unless the description says specifically 'not for use on steel cable', why would somebody just instinctively know that? A lot of people don't even understand that not all metal is the same.

Working on radar CRT always scared the **** out of me. I would check that everything was discharged multiple times before I'd stick my hand anywhere.
