    new metal lathe

    Called the guy, pretty much everything you see comes with it. He said not excellent shape but fair to good. He;s had it ten years and hasn't used it much lately. He pretty much used it for putzing like I will. I mean really. If it's complete junk ready for the garbage can I'd only be...

    OFFICIAL THREAD: Genius Storage Ideas

    No. They're safe queens that get taken out a couple times a year for cleanings. The pins are tapered and smoothed at the ends anyway. I also have some heat shrink tubing that I havent gotten around to putting on yet.

    3 phase

    What the hell is it in laymans terms? I've been looking at some metal lathes and some have three phase motors. Does this mean I have to switch motors to be able to run them on 110??

    new metal lathe

    Me and craigslist don't get along well. About a year ago I was looking for a good floor standing drillpress. Before I wanted one they were on craigslist ten deep every day. And I'm talking the good ones. The quasi-industrial ones and not the chineese junk ones or the box store ones. But...

    new metal lathe

    You guys are awesome. Larry, I' already saw those on craigslist. That Harrison caught my eye too. Just the price is a little more than I wanted to spend. A couple of the other ones just scared me because they look old and like I said I wouldn't be able to tell condition because I have no...

    new metal lathe

    Thanks eddy I'm guessing it's over my $1200 budget. Beautifull lathe though. A little big for me anyway. I'm planning on starting small. I've been watching videos on YOUTUBE and they are mezmerizing. I don't even know why I want one, but I've said that about every tool I've ever bought...

    new metal lathe

    My problem is I wouldn't be able to tell if a used lathe is in good condition or worn out. And I don't know anyone that knows anything about lathes to come with me to look at one.

    new metal lathe

    I'm looking to buy a new metal lathe. The last time I used a lathe was in high school but I really want one. I'm not even sure what I'd do with it but I think it would be a lot of fun. I'm looking at a few on ebay right now. $1000 + free shipping. 9"x20" 9" x 20" Metal Lathe Motor...

    Nope. The pins are slightly pitched up so gravity holds them on. Plus the pins go all the way to the end of the barrel. It would take an awfull lot to make them fall off if it's even possible.

    Here's another one I just did. Pistol rack for my gun safe. Took the sheetrock "fireproofing" off the door and replaced it with a sheet of 1/2" plywood. Pistols simply slide onto the steel rods. There are racks on the net but they're expensive and what fun is buying something that you can...

    remote thermostat.

    Bought one of the GE ones. Found it for $18 delivered.:beer: Now.............. I need a way to be able to tell from the house that the heater in the shed is on.:headscrat Maybe some kind of light or something in the shed that was on the same line as the heater. Then I could look out the...

    remote thermostat.

    NOW we're getting somewhere!!:bowdown: Like I said I already have the heater wired to a light switch. Why wouldn't that work??:bounce: I'm going to look for one just like it but with more range even though this one would probably work.
