Back gauge tube was fairly obvious, the channel should be parallel to the center of the tube. Of course I didn't notice at all until I was halfway through assembly lol Gas spring mounting bracket, looking from behind the ram: Location of wire shorting: I haven't taken exact measurements...

Backgauge install complete, it's a pretty involved assembly process, took a few days working a couple hours per day in the evenings after work. The main components for the backgauge consist of tube weldments with machined channels for the linear guide rails. Overall quality of fabrication on...

TLDR; this machine is awesome, but if you are looking for something that is going to be trouble free, you may want to wait a year or so until they get all the bugs worked out. Took about a week for this to get from Texas up to me in western Pennsylvania, it showed up on Monday but I didn't have...

Joined the club a couple weeks ago - a 2007 Toyota 8FGCU25. This is a former Yellow Freight unit. Ritchie Brothers have been auctioning these off all year and the market seems to be flooded with them so they are going pretty cheap. They are really high hour units (mine has 37,000!) but they were...

Thanks! I'm actually following you on Instagram already - you can find me at https://www.instagram.com/richiep_meche/ I need to make a garage thread here as well... I'll get to it someday haha

Got my "pay up" email from Langmuir this week (I ordered on January 15th, my order number was 69416). Should be delivered in about a week or so. Will report back once I get it all set up.

Miter saw/sanding station workbench. 1.5" sq x 14 ga tubing. Close to 11 feet long. The finished product. Still working out the final benchtop tool arrangement.

Funny enough, I got a 20% off code a few hours after I placed my order.

Used this one, thank you!

Countersinks never crossed my mind - good idea! When I was figuring out the design of the top, I was looking at glass plate, and the online sources I found only offered through holes. The glass was pretty pricey so I decided to use acrylic instead, but my mind was still on through holes for...

I'm calling this one the 2 Ton Coffee Table Last year I bought a Lista cabinet on facebook marketplace and it came sitting atop this old industrial platform. At first I was going to try to sell it, but eventually realized it could make cool coffee table. I gave it a good scrub down with...

Saw something familiar on my instagram feed this morning https://www.instagram.com/p/C92FPRLOyIl/ Did you give up on the brake acquisition or is Laser Bros just doing some test articles for you?

Do you want/have to do this yourself? OshCut or sendcutsend should be able to do this pretty easily and cheaply. I like to use OshCut when checking "is it bendable", their 3D bend simulation is top notch. https://app.oshcut.com/cart

People who ordered at the PRI show have been receiving theirs according the facebook group I'm in. As far as when they move it out of "preorder" status, that's unclear.

Ebay deal on this vise - they are running an extra 20% off for the next two hours, total should end up at $287.97 https://www.ebay.com/itm/404553074909?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=AYDDzoxIQ9a&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=BS2DfpuTTnC&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Simple shop infrastructure project - a mobile base for my flammables cabinet

My order arrived today! Lots of odds and ends to fill various needs in the house and the shop. We've got two Grayvik hammers destined for the basement toolbox. A flex spout oiler for the milling machine. Every size of Vessel 1/4" impact bit adapters. Also some 6" impact socket adapters from...

Dangit, in the time it took me to add my cc info, the needle nose eagle grips sold out. Alas. Happy HJE day regardless from order 6637!

Hard to find a better Lista deal than this - $250/cabinet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156262544363 I bought two pairs and picked them up on Friday. These are model SC 750 gen 2 Listas. The casters are pretty gummed up as described in the ad, but otherwise they are in good shape.
