    Picked up a Craftsman 103.24260 bandsaw - with Slo-Speed Converter!

    Last week I did another search on the local CL for bandsaws, and the top one was a vintage Craftsman 103.24260. Pictures looked ok, but didn't show too much detail. It's a 12" model and had a 1/3 hp Craftsman motor installed, for $70. Mounted on the original stand and had a light. What I...

    Using cordless (gas) nailer oil in a pneumatic nailer?

    A couple of weeks ago I tore down my leaking Bostitch N60FN to clean and rebuild it. To get ready I ordered some Hitachi cleaner/degreaser and (what I thought was) pneumatic nailer oil. I wasn't sure if this would be the same as normal air-tool oil, but ordered it anyway. So it comes and it's...

    Pneumatic finish nailer question - how deep should nails go?

    Everyone, This afternoon I installed some crown molding in one of the upstairs bedrooms, using my Bostitch N60 I drug out of the trash a few years ago. It leaked air and needed a new trigger valve, and now appears to need an O-ring kit as well (leaking out the exhuast). Anyway, I noticed...

    Where to run gas line through concrete foundation?

    Hey everyone, Hoping to get some advice. I'm getting ready to run a natural gas line in my basement and outside to the deck for a grill. I have the path laid out but can't quite decide where to drill to get the line outside. The line going out is 1/2". I had planned on drilling through the...

    Raising step height, first time doing concrete - tips?

    Guys, Hoping you could help out. I have a new entry door for my garage waiting to be installed. It's pre-hung, so it has a threshold at the bottom. Problem is, the current door opening has none - it's hanging above the concrete block foundation with roughly filled in holes, so basically no...

    Natural Gas line question - help with sizing for grill

    Everyone, I was hoping for some help. I've ordered a Weber Genesis 330 NG and at some point will need to get the plumbing ready for it. I have a path pretty well picked out but am concerned about the sizing. The grill puts out a max of 60k BTU, or 55 cubic ft/hr. The line I'm hoping to use...

    Bandsaw time - old Bett Marr, ok for the price?

    After getting my drill press, a bandsaw was next on the list. Did a search and found this guy. It's a 14" Bett Marr, sounds like it works fine, and the guy wants $95. Only negative is that it might be an hour away....even so, not terrible. Couldn't find much info on the brand, but the...

    Walker-Turner drill press on CL - go for it?

    I've been keeping my eye on older drill presses on CL recently and think I found a keeper. It's a Walker-Turner Light-Heavyweight, looks to be a 1200 Series floor model. From pictures it's generally crusty but looks like it could be cleaned up. The ad says it works, and they only want $50...
