Is anyone using this track with Milwaukee saw?

I got an M12 Fuel Hackzall as a gift 2 years ago. The blade chuck does not work and I can't remove or install a blade in the tool, other than that the tool has no other issues. Went online to do a warranty repair and since the build date is 2018 and as it was a gift and I don't have any...

So last year at an auction, I bought a plate compactor with a blown Honda engine and a bunch of other stuff for $24. I figured worse case, I would repower the compactor with a Predator motor from HF. As I figured the Honda was toast and I bought a Predator to replace it. The compactor is driven...

Last year I bought hydraulic used shear off CL. It's a 3 phase unit and it came with a cheap import phase converter. It looked like a VFD but I think it was actually a cheap static converter. I saw it under power when I bought it and just brought it home, ran power to it, and used it for almost...

I had a manual transfer switch and generator receptacle installed when I had the house built but I never made a cord to connect a portable generator to the house. I have a 10.5KW welder/generator that I plan on using for emergency power. The house has a 50amp receptacle and and a separate ground...

I was cleaning up in the shop today and found some old Plomb sockets. I know there are some of you that have missing sockets to complete a set so I'm offering these sockets up to whoever might need them. They are free to first come, first serve. 5349 15/16" 12 point deep, 1/2" drive 5353...

I bought Ryobi PEX clamp crimp (tool only) because of the low price since Milwaukee's only PEX tools are the expansion type and cost more than I want to spend. Before I invest in a Ryobi battery and charger, I thought I might look for an adapter. Does anyone have first hand experience with the...

I was cleaning out the welding cabinet and came across this Craftsman acetylene regulator. I don't have the matching oxygen regulator but this one is in nice shape. I'm not sure I would put it into service without at least a new diaphragm but the gauges are nice if someone needs them for a...

So I was not feeling well last weekend and I spent a bunch of time on the couch watching YouTube. I watched Jason at Fireball tool making a jack that was pretty cool but in the process of making it , he used a pneumatic chamfer/de-burring tool that used standard carbide inserts. He showed a...

I did a search for shop tips/tricks in this forum and didn't see anything. Shop secrets are those little things that are so simple, and make an otherwise difficult task, easy. At the first shop I worked at when I was 17, there was an old guy named Artie that always had a trick up his sleeve for...

I just got a job in the shop that is hard to weld with the torches I have. The job is welding small diameter (3/8" OD) thin wall (.065") at various angles. I'm thinking of a micro torch. I'm welding at around 70 amps so I'm thinking an air cooled torch should work. I'm currently using a 20...

I have lighting on my porch that is controlled from 3 separate locations. In normal use we only use 1 location for control of this light and we want to add a dimmer to that location. The switch I want to replace has two reds, two whites, and a ground. The dimmer I want to install has one black...

Maybe someone has one they don't use anymore.

Wood is a 4-letter word in my shop. I have these 3 planes that I have no use for. I don't know what they are worth, so if you want them just give me a fair price and they are yours.

It seems there are a growing number of American Pacemaker lathes showing up here on GJ. Slodats new 14x30 toolroom lathe is a beautiful example and has generated much interest and questions. I know of at least 6 members here that have nice pacemakers so I thought I would start a thread...

Wood is a four letter word to me and the title says it all. I seldom work with wood but having a brand new house requires me to do a few projects that require working with wood. The only sander I have (outside of automotive type DA's) is a 30 year old Makita 1/4 sheet palm sander. I have some...

Since they first came out, I have had about 8 or so 30' Stanley Fat Max tape measures scattered about the shop so one is alway within easy reach. Every now and then one of them will become damaged and I replace it with a new one. I don't think any of the tapes in the shop now are older than 3...

I like to have at least three 4.5" grinders in the shop. One with a grinding wheel, one with a cut off wheel, and one with a flap disc. I had 4 yellow grinders that lasted me quite some time but my son finally abused the last of them to the end of life. Over the last few years I replaced all...

So I have a 400 amp service to a remote meter base with a panel. I have a 200 amp breaker that feeds the house, and a 200 amp breaker that feeds the shop. I had an electrical contractor set up the feed to the house. I pulled 4 conductors to the shop panel. Three 4/0 conductors (2 hots and a...
