This is the last of 4 large bench size ultrasonic cleaners we have. All the work for them is gone out of the USA and is NEVER coming back. Bitter you bet but I can't do anything about it and this is a great machine I designed and had built right here in CT. 6' SS bench on casters, modular to...

I dunno, maybe I am Rip Van Winkle, but I haven't had to really buy hand tools in many years. When I did I bought Craftsman because they were local, had a lifetime warranty which I used a few time, and really were good tools. I abused the heck out of them and they held up. Mine were all bought...

Been looking online at some Genie small lifts and the GL line looks like something I can use. Has anyone used one? How well does it work, move, etc and are they easy to load on a p/u truck? Pricing seems to be about $1400 for new, does anyone know of a good used equipment dealer?

Last week I had a thread on ceiling hoist for my garage. I was thinking about hanging a winch from a 2x6 header over the 2x6 ceiling joists to lift up to 500 lb. Sounded good anyway. Some of you had some very good ideas and setups in your garage and I appreciate your opinions. What I found...

Just throwing out ideas, maybe someone has done them already? I am thinking about ways to lift 150 -200lbs in the garage without taking up valuable floor space. I have an engine hoist which is useful but I want to lift straight up not on a arc. One thought is to back in a small pickup to the...

I am "shoe horning" a machine shop into a 13' x 24" bay and want to use all available space for storage. I have filled in the footprint with a mill,lathe, press, grinder, surface grinder, wash tank, and 3 x 8 workbench. There is a 4 x8 peg board on the wall from the previous owner. While it is...

I am looking at adding on a 14' w x 24' deep garage to my existing garage and was wondering what some of you averaged per sq ft for a 5" slab 16" studded but unfinished interior walls. Cedar shingle siding and 30 yr arch roof shingles. Thanks

I have narrowed down my search to a few compressors, this is one. It may have been discussed before, with all the online searching I don't recall. It will work for my the question is the same- noise. Reviewer claims it's quiet but I was also told by a salesman that 90 db is quiet! So if...

I have been researching a 15-17 cfm quiet compressor for a few months now. I have run a thread or two. Seems like all searches end up with EMAX or Polar Air. I have seen the videos but really don't want to buy based on a video. I would like to hear from someone or see one in person to see if...

I am setting up a small shop at home, 35' x24', with some machines. I will need to run a 240vac 1ph compressor in the 5 hp range to handle a blast cabinet, probably in the 15 cfm range. Vertical tank for space savings. I see some new compressors advertised as quiet and want to know if anyone...

I am thinking of getting a small gantry crane to lift 100-700lb anyone have any references of good or bad ones? Thank you Gary

Hi Guys, I did some searching but didn't find what I was looking for. Anyone layout a 12 x 23 garage bay with a Bridgeport, 10" SBL, Surface Grinder, 20 ton press, and large workbench? If so can you post some pictures and also what did you do for 3 ph? what type of converter works best? Thank...

Hi Guys My first post here. I am in the market for a good floor jack. I have a 30 year old Sears that really worked nice but is now starting to lose hold. I have another brand jack, not sure which one, that was bought from JC Whitney about 35 years ago and that is a good one but also starting...
