Broke my blade guard on my 10" Delta compound miter saw, model 36-075. Delta does not support this saw anymore. Anybody have one?

After my CH single stage pump on my 80 gallon compressor went bad, I installed an Eaton 2 stage pump on some recommendations from board members. Had to do make some modifications like remounting both the pump and motor to get everything lined up and buying a 4" double groove pulley for the...

I have a 2008 Campbell Hausfield 80 gallon, single stage, dual cylinder compressor that locked up on me yesterday; tag says 16 cfm @ 90 psi. The motor is still good as it smoked the belt pretty good! I've run it pretty hard with sandblasting, powder coating, air tools, etc. I do part time...

I have a 80 gallon CH compressor with a 5HP Emerson continuous run motor rated for 22 amps. I noticed in the instruction manual that they want 8 gauge wire supplied to it. But then I noticed the short run wire for the motor coming off the unloader is only 10 gauge. Why would they want 8? Are...

I have a 80 gallon single stage dual piston CH compressor. I am adding an intercooler and noticed the lines coming off the compressor heads neck down to a 3/8 line feeding the tank. That seems a little small to me for all that volume from 2 big pistons. I bought it new so it was like that from...

Anybody using these pictured ridge vents? How about installing after you've been in your building for awhile? Notice any differences? Thinking of installing a couple as all I have are rollup doors and windows. Lot of heat trapped up in the peak.

I'm looking at getting one of these auto drain inline filters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JDL5RU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I can't seem to find any info on how the auto draining function works. Does it drain once it gets to a certain level no matter what the pressure is? Or, does it only...

So I've done a bunch of research here on setting up my airlines in my shop. I I have a 80 gallon CH compressor and just bought a used air dryer. Here's my idea of setting it all up. The compressor is setting outside enclosed in sheet metal with the top and bottom screened for ventilation (I'm...

Anybody have experience with these refrigerated air dryers? I can get one pretty cheap that flows 40 cfm. Can they be mounted outside? Best way to get inlet air temp below required 180 degrees? I see guys here use automotive coolers out of the heads. Best?

I have a Hypertherm 600 that I'm having problems with. I'll be cutting and all of sudden the arc gets real weak and stops cutting. Even on sheet metal it'll just leave a little "trench" in the metal. There's still an arc, just not strong. I've changed out consumables-twice- and it still is...

Anybody use Cerakote's gloss clear over polished aluminum to prevent dulling? I've used their black on a couple guns and it's tough stuff.

Working on a project flip house that has an outdoor front porch, approximately 15' x 15'. Previous owners put down ceramic tile and then added some more porch square footage. So, I have tile and bare concrete mixed. Both are finished at the same level, so no step or ledge. We want to make it...

I have a 80 gallon CH single stage, dual cylinder compressor that I am fighting water in my lines. I keep the tank drained, but use it heavy sometimes for sandblasting and air tools. I read up on the frazinator system and others have mentioned an automotive cooler such as a ****** cooler or AC...

I just acquired 2 of these Vidmar cabinets for a great price; they are in addition to 4 other large cabinets I already have. I want to make one a roll-around box to replace my red Harbor Freight box pictured. I like the way it has a hinged top giving me extra space for wrenches, etc., but...

I just installed a circuit of 14 105W CFLs, with only 11 actually screwed in. These bulbs draw .91 amps each. The breaker is a new 15 amp Square D using 12 gauge solid wiring in conduit. My amp meter shows a 9 amp draw with these 11 lights on. However there is a noticeable hum coming from the...

Just ordered 25 of these 105W CFLs for my garage that put out 7150 lumens using .91 amps each: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/8256/FC105-S50OD.html The garage is a metal building with 3 bays, total dimensions are 32'w x 82'l x 17'h. These lights will mount directly to the purlins, with 14...

I have a Campbell-Hausfield 80 gal, 220VAC, twin cylinder, single stage compressor that's about 6 years old that's starting to trip the 20 amp breakers on startup. It doesn't do it all the time, but it's getting worse. I've ruled out faulty breakers by "un-poling" them; I removed the connector...

Moving into my new garage and getting ready to plumb my airlines. Is it worth switching my 3/8 airlines and 1/4 fittings with 1/2 lines and 3/8 fittings? My compressor is a Cambell Hausfield, 80 gallon, twin cylinder, single stage. Will I see better performance in my air tools with more volume?

Just got my Rivnut tool from Maryland Metrics, mdmetric.com. I figured 1/4-20 and 10-32 are probably a couple of the favorite sizes since that's what came in the kit, but any other sizes out there that might be common?

I want to install a basketball hoop on the concrete around our in-ground pool. I was going to weld the hoop/pole onto a plate, like 12"x12", and install anchors at the 4 corners of plate. I want this removable with regular bolts, probably in the 1/2" size. Of course I don't want a studs like...
