I've wanted to learn about machining, Mostly for simple stuff such as bushings and turning pins etc for projects. Been looking for A used lathe but not really many that seem like decent deal. Right now I'm not really limited by space I found a 12x36 "king industrial" which I beleive is the...

Just curious if anyone has multiple brands? I have a few Milwuakee tools all fuel versions and they rock! But sometimes I see deals on other brands etc etc, is it worth the hassle of different batteries and chargers? I've mostly been interested in Ridgid, their octane line is quite a bit...

The straight die grinder at work died and looking to replace it. It was a ingersoll 308 or something I think. Been reading up here on them, and Unless we spent lots for the top dotco or dynabrade is there much difference between the cheaper ones? I was wanting a CP but not sure what models...

What does everyone have their cut in pressure at? Mine was at 90 psi and cut out 140. I've increased it to 95 cut in but might go to 100.. My thinking is if I'm using a tool that likes 90psi at the tool, by the time the compressor kicks in i'll be down too far on psi. Not sure If I should go...
