My bead roller has a foot switch to control the speed. The range of speed is too high/fast. There is about 1.5" of swing. I have to run it by only pressing it 1/4 to 1/2" max. When reaching on larger panels it is easy to accidentally crank down and move the panel too far. Below is a shot...

I don't know the terminology, so a search hasn't been helpful. I want to build something that works like a 110v power strip, but for 220v. Its for a welding cart with 3 machines. All similar amperage (same plug 6-50p). Only one machine will be operated at a time. 1. Would I need to have...

I recently finished and moved my stuff into my detached 1440 sq ft barn/shop. Its 200 ft from my house. I needed a simple, non monitored, alarm system. I wanted one that would notify my phone (via wifi) that an alarm was triggered. I was looking at simplisafe for the last year. But just...

Long time lurking, finally pulling the trigger. I'm in the planning stages of a pole barn about 180-200 ft from my meter. I will have a 100 amp breaker in the house. I want 90-100 amps at the barn. It will be a one man shop with a lift, small plasma cutter, 180 amp welder and gas heat. I'm...

That about says it. I'm hooking up my new HF 60 gal compressor. I plan to use black pipe. But I need to know what to use for the 2-3 feet from the compressor to the start of the black pipe -- so that vibration can be absorbed. Thanks. Been lurking for a while, but this is my first post...
