Looking for a bench grinder to run a 6" deburring wheel. I use it for airplane parts for a kit I am building. These are often long / bulky. I'm trying to find a grinder with the smallest diameter body, as this is often what interferes with deburring. Any recommendations? I have an old...

What kind of fitting is this? On a mini regulator. The other side is male NPT. I thought it was BSPT, but the adapter I got does not fit.

Have 2 of the Pioneer units in my shop. Overall have been very happy with them However, the cheap corrugated drain lines that ship with the unit have become quite brittle and have now broken in 3 separate locations, leading to flooding in the upstairs of my shop and drywall damage, etc. Yes, I...

I plant onion sets from Fedco every year: https://fedcoseeds.com/moose/gardeners-onion-plant-medley-onion-plants-7053 This year there was a glitch in the system and they sent them a few days ago. Needless to say, the ground is frozen here in Indiana and it ain't onion plantin' time. They are...

I have an off grid cabin in the Rockies. We shut the place down and drain pipes etc when we leave. There are times where there is a month or so where no one is there. It is all PEX, and even though we drain the pipes there is still some water that freezes. The basement has a 300 gallon holding...

Both side knockouts on my mini split disconnect are full; what other options do I have for install of the surge device? The instructions specify that outdoor installations should be “mounted horizontally into a suitable enclosure”. Sounds like I should not use one of the 2 knockouts on the...

Found this while cleaning out stuff in the shop today. It’s been kicking around here for years and I can’t recall what / where it came from. Anyone know?

Just went out to check on my two mini splits since we’ve had some snow last 24h. This is my first winter with the units. Do I need to do anything with this? Looks like all the sleet / ice we had yesterday before the snow built up In there. The bottom of the unit is fine, drain holes are...

I have a Pioneer 18K BTU unit that I installed over the summer. It is running fine. I never get any error codes on the display on the unit itself. The app has a “check” feature. Sometimes when I run this test, I get: Testing: 112 Normal: 111 Abnormal: 1 When I click detail, the abnormal...

I have 2 3 way switches in my kitchen, controlling ~9 can lights with LED PAR38 bulbs. Currently, there is a dimmer switch and a standard 3 way. I have a spare Lutron caseta on/off switch that I’d like to install. Can I install it in place of the regular 3 way and keep the dimmer on the other...

I have (had, I guess) a bathroom in my 24x36 when I bought the place 10+ years ago. It was a disaster, very poorly done, and I gutted it about 4-5 years ago with the intent of redoing it. Still a bare space. It sits in one corner of the downstairs, and is roughly 80x73”. I am redoing...

I've got a fireplace in the house that is open on both sides, currently has a gas insert. I'd like to burn wood instead. The gas fire just isn't the same, and I've got tons of wood stacked and split from the woods out back. I'm going to have someone come look at it, but what am I looking for to...

I installed an 18k pioneer DIY unit a few months ago. Overall I am very happy with it. However, I am confused about how it functions and wondered if anyone had any experience / input. I have it set on 75F. Currently, my shop is 73. However, the unit is running at low speed and putting out...

New install of a Pioneer 18KBTU unit in my shop. It is working great, quiet, COLD air. The lines are installed with the supplied insulation, all is sealed up well etc. I have not snapped the line covers on over everything yet, was out back just now and the insulation is sweating like crazy. It...
