Hey guys, So I returned my Milwaukee propress and decided to use pex-a instead. I saw too many complaints on leaks when used on thinner copper type-m and I didn't want to find out what my house has by tearing apart my ceiling looking for pipes to read. I purchased the m12 Milwaukee pex-a tool...

So... I have a leak on the main line that comes into my house and that leak is right above my daughter's bed.... Outside the water line comes up from the ground and it splits to my sprinkler systems and the other end uses a brass connector and goes into the wall for my house. It goes up inside...

I've been spending a lot of time working on my 69 mustang and recently got a 12k split system ac unit. On days that's its under 104 I can keep the garage at 78 but the ac isn't able to rest. Would insulation for the ceiling really help? It's a 2 car garage connected to my home on the...

Instead of paying a shop to make the exhaust on my 69 mustang it will cost me just a tad more for me to makes it out of 304ss Plus I'll end up with a couple new tools! I already have a tig welder. I bought a harbor freight 6x48 belt sander with a 9" sanding wheel. I wanted to buy a $1500+...

I bought my tig welder almost a year ago and still haven't really practiced to learn on how to tig. I definitely got the mig down ok just not the be best looking I know tig welding is much cleaner and much less smoke but do you guys wear a respirator when you tig weld? When I mig weld I...

I've been searching off and on but the last time I got a metal splinter from removing the metal shreds from my cheap harbor freight sweeper I gave up on it. I seen the 30" with release from harbor freight but I wanted a smaller sweeper because of the tight areas I use it in my garage. That's...

Hey guys At first i was looking for a older quality drill press but i couldn't find one locally so I began to look at new ones. The shop fox one looked nice then I read some guys here saying its trash.... next Then I was looking at the wen 4214 and the jet jwdp-12... and I find the same...

hey guys, my mother in laws water heater crapped out, well the pilot won't stay lit. She lives in a nice mobile home and i saw how pricey those heater are :confused: Well to replace a thermocouple does it have to be a specific one per each water heater or are they universal? I'd hate to blow...

hey guys, I've been wanting to get a bare engine block and put some feet and a piece of glass on top and my wife finally gave me the green light so I found a 4.2L Audi V8. I chose that block because of two things..... its aluminum and I really didn't see any other ones for sale near by. Has...

My brother in law gave me one of these compressors when I was searching for and found my 80 gal. He is a bank manager and he told me it was very expensive and they used it for like 2 yrs at his branch. I don't remember why he was able to take it but I know i don't have to hide it from the...

I'm finishing up my compressor install and remembered I have a B&M trans cooler I bought for a car I'm building. That car is a long ways away from being done so I might as well use it for this. The only problem I have is deciding what to use to connect the compressor outlet to the cooler...

I just had my cousin wire up my speedaire 4xa59 with the eaton B27CGF30B040 5hp 1 phase starter box. He couldn't figure out how where to connect the pressure switch to on the starter. On the pressure switch both wires are on one side and in the diagram on the switches cover it shows a wire on...

So I ended up finding a speedaire 4xa59 80 gallon compressor for my 2 car garage but for the price I got it for (less than half the price of a new 60 gallon I was looking at) I originally planned on just placing a regulator w/ a filter on the 1/2" tank outlet but now I learned from other...

I'm in southern California and was wondering if I'm able to apply for permit and then run the line myself (or someone with the knowledge) or does it need to be a licensed electrician? I'm off tomorrow/today and I plan on getting a few quotes but I know this isn't going to be cheap and my...

So the speedaire 4xa59 I just bought is from 2008 and was used in a jiffy lube shop. They replaced it with a new IR compressor. The owner said he didn't want to put anymore money into it after supposedly rebuilding the motor (I don't know how to verify this) they showed me videos of it working...

Hello everyone! I've always seen this forum while looking for information on other projects but now I need help. I just bought a used speedaire 4xa59 (80 gal, Baldor L1410t) and it has no magnetic starter and I'm going to have a 240v line ran to my garage for this. I was looking at a eaton 230...
