    Die grinders (for welding work)

    I have a Bosch angle grinder but for other grinding work I'm using a Dremel. The 1/8" shaft isn't ideal as it's easy to bend burrs plus I worry I'll burn out the Dremel. I'd like to get a Die grinder. I like the variable speed of the Dremel and I like that I don't have to turn the compressor...

    workbench for heavy mill and lathe

    I'm looking to build a new workbench for my CNC mill (350 pounds) and CNC lathe (250 pounds). Probably about 7-8' long. 3-4' deep. I quite like the design at the bottom of this post here (the picture with the 2 kids crawling over it). No clue where it originally came from. The other...

    Stripping black oxide finish off bolts

    I have some 10.9 bolts that I want to strip the black oxide finish off. I'd read that 50% muriatic acid 50% water should do the trick but it's not working at all for me. I left the bolts overnight and it's barely removed any coating. The muriatic acid I have is the "low odor" type. Is...

    Problem with JET PB-85 metal bandsaw

    I have a Jet PB-85 bandsaw. Initially I wasn't cutting anything that required precision but now that I'm cutting larger square stock for welding it's a pain. Issues like this after often because of the belt, it's alignment or it's tension but I don't think so in this case. I contacted JET...

    Need help cooling detached garage/shop

    Laminate top for workbench

    I just bought a house, there is a workbench in the shop. Laminate top. Faux woodgrain :fawk: It's worn down to the wood in places. I'd like to replace it. Two questions. 1) I'm looking for something cheap, sold by the roll in a 3' width, say 12' length. I looked at Lowes and they...

    Welding table clamps (similar to Miller)

    I recently bought the steel to make a portable welding table similar to the Miller Arcstation 30FX. I was going to cut 3/4" wide channels using a plasma-cutter (and some kind of sacrificial guide that I've not figured out yet). I like the idea of the Miller clamps (link to pic) but even...

    High quality alternative to Annovi Reverbi AR630 (electric pressure washer)

    My old Karcher electric died. No biggie, I paid $25 for it from a friend. I'm looking to get a replacement. I already have a ton of tools so I like the compact size of the AR630 plus the high quality. What I don't like about it is that it requires a 20A circuit. They really should add a...
