I just picked a Rong Fu RF-115 bandsaw. It appears to have been produced during the late-1980s. I know it's similar to many other 4 x 6" bandsaws produced then and today, but might anyone have a manual for the RF-115? I tried Rong Fu and they only have current model manuals. Thanks!

I just purchased a very nice Craftsman number 113.213842 13" floor model drill press. It seems that someone attempted to pry the spindle pulley off and chipped a small piece off the top (smallest) groove . In speaking with Sears Parts Direct, they tell me that the current 049S pulley from the...

I have an "L" shaped 3-car garage on the house. Its heated with a radiant heat panel and the doors, finished walls, and ceiling are fully insulated. I have no problem maintaining 65 degrees in the winter no matter how cold the ambient temp is outside, and have gotten it as warm as 70-75 degrees...

My three-car garage has a 12-foot ceiling and I've already installed a ceiling fan over the two-car side, which has greatly improved heat circulation during the winter months. Even with the fan, it gets very hot on the third car side during the summer. That portion of the garage extends back...

Here in Nebraska it's been getting bitterly cold and when the air temp drops into and below the single digits, I have an issue where the large 2-car door in my heated garage freezes to the floor. It seems that the snow that lays or blow up against the door melts from the warmth in the garage...
