    "Trail mower" for UTV from brush hog?

    Anybody ever taken a typical brush hog and converted it to a "trail mower". I'm using trail mower because thats what I've seen the internet calling it. Basically a small trailer that you pull behind a UTV/ATV to mow with. I've recently come across the need for something like this. My...

    milwaukee 2782 metal circular saw-Eastwood Mini

    Any out there using one of these regularly? I'm considering biting the bullet and purchasing one. I cut a quite a bit of 14ga in order for it to fit onto my little plasma table (24x24) and have been doing it with a cut off wheel and I'm getting tired of the mess, sparks, noise, but mostly the...

    2x48 vs 2x72 belt grinder which one?

    I’m getting ready to build a belt grinder and can’t decide on a 48 or a 72. I like the smaller foot print of the 2x48 as I don’t have much room as is. Are the 2x72s that superior to the the 48s? It will have to be something I can move around and be bench top mounted so I will have to move it...

    2x72 belt grinder question

    This is very possibly a very dumb question but I could be missing something so I figured I'd ask... Is there any reason on most of these grinders they are built wider (deeper) than taller? Why couldn't a guy build it a little taller and save some depth (ie make it have a smaller footprint?)...

    Plane Jane quick and dirty welding table

    I don’t post much but figured I’d throw a few pics up of my quickie table build. Nothing near as fancy as some here but I’m tired of putting out fires on my old bench (literally). Also with the addition of my cnc table room is s big concern so the 4x8 table needs to go. Legs are all 2” square...

    Cnc plasma table.. what software do you use?

    I’ve got a table on order that comes with the free Inkscape and Qcad installed. I’ve been playing a little with Inkscape and so far I’m not impressed at all. I hate the fact that if I want to draw a line or square I have to use the little measure marks on the screen vs being able to type in I...

    cut50 plasma for cnc??

    A couple years ago I got in on the group buy we had going on here on the cut50 and it has ran flawless for me. Earlier today I bit the bullet and ordered a small cnc table. Is there anyway I can use this Chinese contraction on the table? I'm sure somebody has had to try just haven't had any...

    Alright after trying to search and the search feature not letting me because the word por and 15 are too short I gave up and started this.. Anyway, does por 15 actually work decently?

    My welding/plasma cart

    It was finally time to reclaim my work bench that between the old reed vise, welding machine, and newly acquired plasma I was running out of room. It's nothing fancy but will be handy after I get around to putting a few drawers underneath to store my hood, discs, and all my other welding ****...

    Who makes an air swivel coupler that does NOT leak?

    I've been through 4 of these damn things now and all of them have leaked like hell. I like the 360 degree swivels personally and just want one that doesn't leak. It just flat drives me nuts. I've tried milton,kobalt,husky, and HF with no luck..

    thoughts before the build.. welding cart

    I'm really sick of lugging my 210mvp around and swapping bottles etc. I've been needing to come up with something for awhile and considering I've been half dead and can't work I started playing with ideas. What I'm going for is something space friendly, holds 2 bottles, and can easily be moved...

    Jigsaws Bosch vs Ryobi

    I have quite a bit of aluminum work coming up for my buggy and need a good way to make nice clean cuts. I'm thinking a jig saw is going to be the way to go considering my budget and available space. The 2 saws I'm currently looking at is the Bosch 6.5amp JS365 and the Ryobi JS651L. Common sense...

    I currently have a 60 gallon compressor plumbed into a separator, oiler, then to T that goes run to my hose reel and the other side runs to my regulator. I regularly drain my tank and when heavily using air tools I keep my tank drain cracked and water separator cracked and still get wet enough...

    Reed 3C repair questions

    I've done a little searching without much. I just picked up a 3c and a 4c for a pretty good deal in my book (free). The 3C handle is broken off the shaft. Anyone see any reason why I couldn't cut the shaft off straight on the lathe and weld it directly to the handle assembly. Excuse my reed...
