For someone new to mills and lathes, generally speaking would them being next to one another on a single wall introduce issues? Should I be looking to have extra room around a lathe or mill? I've seen, for example, some lathes (all?) let you run stock through the jaws and out the side of the...

I'm on hold with HF Parts to get 2 more swivel casters to get rid of the fixed casters on my 5 drawer HF mechanic's cart. I found out there's apparently 3 part numbers, and the parts are apparently different on them? 64030 / 64032 / 64033. I've got the 64030 - but now I'm wondering what the...

So I've got my main panel in the pic, it's a 200a service panel. Plenty of free spaces in there. Also tossed in a CAD drawing I just finished of the layout for reference. That yellow loooong box is the area I'm talking about below. My plan is to add multiple circuits down the wall you see...

I'm trying to find a simple beam calculator that just tells me "for I beam X over span Y with load Z there will be A inches of deflection" I'm trying to determine what kind of deflection S6 x 12.5 over a 15' span supported @ both ends would have with 3000 lbs evenly loaded. If it matters, I'm...

I've got 6 oof the husky 28" hanging wall cabinets. Want to do 3 on each side of the wall. Problem is, I can't align the studs and the cabinet hanger to position the cabinets right next to one another. Thinking of mounting a couple 2x4s on the wall across the studs, then mount the hangers to...

This is apparently up to code (I'm told the permits are from 2019, so NEC2014 here in Florida). I'm just shocked. I have nearly 1200sq ft of garage (2 car garage and RV garage) and just the 8' LEDs I'm installing are going to pull 11a off the only circuit. I'm raising hell over it, but...

Got the 20T shop press, and want to clean it up. Google didn't seem to know the color code for the red, hoping someone here might!

Finally bought our first place - new construction back in November '20 we closed, and it has an RV garage! 15' ceiling, 15' width, 50' length. Ain't no RV going in here :) Oh, and it has a 20' x 22' 2 car garage, with a 10' ceiling as well! So I've got in the neighborhood of 1200 sq ft of...

I've got 15' ceiling in one of my garages, and I'd like to finally get a lift! It's new construction (built in October of '20), 6" reinforced concrete according to the builder. I'd like to be able to lift everything from a lowered Supra to a lifted F250. I'm wondering if something like a...

So I've got what appear to be engineered 2x4 (dimensional) trusses, 24" oc. spanning my 2 car garage. I'm wanting to increase the strength of the 'center' 12' or so the roof for some light weight storage (plastic car parts, christmas decorations) I'm attaching pics here for everyone's viewing...
