I have an old bandsaw that is supposed to use a 1/2" x .0196 x 64.5" blade. Well it appears standard blades come in .020 and .025 thickness. The .020 is nearly exact, and the .025 is only 5 thousandths thicker. Will either work? Should I stick with the .020 ? Or does it matter? Thanks

i added an evap cooler in my shop. Works great (in Colorado). The biggest problem in my area is the hard water. It tends to leave a fine white powder on the fan wheel and duct when the water evaporates, so if it hasn't been on in a while, it blows out fine dust for a little while. Not a big...

With my limited garage ceiling height, I'm thinking of recessing standard t-8 two bulb 4' strip lights into the ceiling between the trusses.
