Ok, I have had my miter saw for years. I have used it for many projects. I am currently re-casing all of my doors and windows. But I had a problem with my saw cutting bad miters. My saw was cutting 45's with the inner and outer portions of the cuts having gaps. ...ie there is a "pivot...

I'm going to start cleaning up my frame in prep for paint. I'm figure that I'll get most of the rust off. But depending upon how much is left,... because I know that there will be some pitting... I will either use the standard or rusty metal primer. That being said. For those that have used...

Who makes these for Klein? Also, are they currently in production or is this the remaining stock that is out on the market? Thanks, Mark

I have finally gotten to set up my mill. It's going in the work room in the basement. I've built the bench for it. It's a wood top bench. 1.)So my first question is will I regret this with chips snagging and embedding themselves into it? I would assume that if I run a brush or better-yet...

Hi, I've switched over to using Pittsburgh paints since I've been sticking with Menards. (I used to use Ben Moore and some Behr) Anyway, I have realized that every time I open my can of ceiling paint, I've got black mold in it. (I first thought that this was the tint separating, then I saw...

Hi, So her is my situation... I have a three car attached garage with stairs directly into my house basement. I have my automotive (metal working) stuff in the garage, and the woodworking stuff in my basement. I have a drill press in the basement and I have a mini-mill coming. I...

Hi, I'm looking to start the task of replacing all of my cedar siding, windows and roof. No, I'm not doing it myself. (however I truly wish that I could) I am going to do the painful task of hiring contractors for it. (my luck with contractors has not been good) Anyway, I would...

Hi, I have a bin partially filled with vinegar that that I would put my cut hot rolled pieces of steel in overnight. This allowed the mill scale to be wiped off the next day to allow for welding or painting. Well, the vinegar has lost its potency and is mucky. So I was trying to figure...

Hi all, Last Spring I purchased a TB304S (Troy-Bilt) from Menards. All of my previous trimmers lasted about eight years or so. I still had Craftsman edger and tiller attachments. I tried those onto the new TB unit and they fit fine. ...and worked. So I used those all summer. I did a...

I just purchased two front wheels for a push mower. It's a front wheel drive and the wheels were BALD. I paid $70 total. We all know how this works... the mower is about 6 years old. In another 4 years (I have larger lawn now) these wheels will be bald again. ...and by that time, they will...

This may have been the first time that I really noticed that Martin Tools were carried by Summit Racing. But since they don't have pics for all of them... I am surmising that they are newly carried. (even though they look to be drop shipped in April) You'll need to check the item number on...

Hi, I've got an eight year old Craftsman mower that I need to order replacement parts for. But I have tried to do so over the course of 8 months. (not every day of course) The parts are in my "cart" but when I go to checkout, and enter my zip to calculate shipping, the webpage just...

I was going to try the Majic hardener in a brush-on rusto paint. But my question is... Is it a problem using that combo after just using a spray-on rusto primer? (I see a previous post about not adding the hardener to a primer. So I was not going to do that) Thanks, Mark

I just got this email from Steel Valley Lifts. (and look at their website confirms this) I'd be interested to know if Advantage bought Steel valley. The note tht I received did still say "Made in the USA". Hopefully that remains. Advantage Lifts Becomes Sole Distributor and Manufacturer of...

Hi, I've got some old crate boards. ...think of "Fraa-gee-lay" from "A Christmas story". I am going to use them for a counter top in the garage. (not a lot of abuse) After joining/biscuiting them, I was going to hit them with an oil-based clear. The boards are old and had been sitting in...

Hi all, I have a Klein tubing cutter that I use for cutting EMT when doing electrical. One thing has always puzzled me, It leaves a tapered edge on one edge and a sharp edge on the other pipe. I have always reamed that pipe out and used that. Can someone tell me if there is a...

I have an old painted wood model boat. (for display not for water use) It's probably from the 60's. I would assume that it is painted with an oil base. I need to clean years of dust and dirt off of it. I'd prefer not to have to repaint it. I was figuring on blowing the loose dust/dirt off...
