    What drill bits/step drills?

    I agree that most people probably dont have exposure to there tools, I also have the left handed set and the step drills, also we use there band saw blades for our metal saw they have been pretty good as long as you break the blade in after it is installed.

    Allen Bradley 440 to 220 Conversion

    We use Baldor or Leeson motors a lot, I would contact your local motor/pump repair shop and see if they have any used motors. It would make your set up much simpler to eliminate the phase converter and go with the single phase motor, I would recommend 220 also, the higher voltage will...

    Anyone tried PartsMaster tools?

    Parts master tools are not cheap tools, I have used a lot of there tools over the years, I would compare them to any crasftman tools, much better than a lot of the HF stuff! Just depends on what tool it is

    My Sad Roof

    Here are a few pic's of the progress on my roof, we removed all the old trusses starting at 8 am and by 8 pm we had the new roof on. We had to wait out a huge thunderstorm for an hour that ended up taking down part of my drywalled ceiling in my gun shop, but it is repairable.

    What's a good tool to cut this plastic board?

    Looks like UHMW we cut it all the time with a table saw or radial arm saw, we mill profiles in it also with a milling machine, you can also take a power plane and clean the surface up just like wood.

    Sealing black iron pipe joints

    I agree with you that it works, but being the guy who usually gets to fix it later we just mad the decision that we wont use it. all of our piping above 2" for steam is all welded and flanged connections. Everything above 3/4" for ammonia is welded.

    Gramps Idea for Cooling a Garage

    Doesnt sound like a water to water heat exchanger to me, if you pump 60-70 degree pond water through an old radiator and blow air through it, that would be water to air, a swamp cooler is using the latent heat of the evaporation of the water, one is closed loop the other open.

    My Sad Roof

    I agree with the more is better, but I already have the 4/12 trusses, I have also purchased 60 sheets of 19/32 OSB and the metal roofing to cover it all in the end. This way it will match my house as far as pitch and roofing.

    Selling moral question

    Depends on what you told the guy in my opinion, I have been burned by people telling me that they will show and never do, but I have also been on the other side of it, call on an item and the guy tells me that he will hold it for me while I drive the 2 hours to get to him and once I do he has...
