I just did the oil cooler aftercooler on my setup. I remote mounted the cooler above my compressor room, and will have a box fan start when the compressor runs. I haven't got the wiring done yet on the fan, but I can hold the tube going into the tank with my bare hand when it is running. I...

I just run water in mine, and put everything to be cleaned in separate containers. The tank never gets dirty, and I use far less solvent/cleaner. I also will run jars with different chemicals simultaneously.

What about a dual hitch mount? https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Adapters/Roadmaster/RM-077-6.html?feed=npn&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1338935271&gbraid=0AAAAAD_vMtlbykVirDUbl0UE4smpOzEmI&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2_TQBhCnARIsAF3-Xhy0YbMoIXlSxuIi0JaSHbc-k4sPL2ugSTg4BI3rU-00XMxe-hftcPsaAi_YEALw_wcB

Sanders, cut off tool, blasting, powder coating, impact, blowing stuff off, plasma cutting, pneumatic nailers, tire changer etc. I use the **** out of my compressed air. My compressor is 20 years old this year. New pressure switch and check valve as of this year, but outside of that and regular...

I have a small Allis forklift in my 30x60 and don't plan to get rid of it. I use it more than I thought I would for loads beyond the capacity of most skid loaders. Hard tires, so no off-roading, but I have put down 3/4" ply on the occasion that I have needed to lift something in the lawn. Is it...

I still have and use the Pittsbugh I purchased 20 years ago as well. I grabbed the Daytona on a great sale for lower cars and the extra lifting capacity.

I have the Daytona long-reach, low profile, 3 ton jack. I would recommend. The pedal to get up to the load is great, and the lift height was slightly higher than all of the others.

Thinking about it more, it essentially moved the fulcrum back and spread the pressure out. Moving the fulcrum back gave it more travel, so nails would typically come out with one pull.

Nobody wants anything, yet you can't throw it away? I would be leaving it where it sits instead of inheriting material I can't use. Then again, I inherited three generations of things I am not using, and I am 3 years deep on slowly getting rid of it all.

I needed to remove a bunch of pole barn tin about 20 years ago. Ended up using a modified cat's paw prybar with a short piece of round tubing welded to the back of the "head", perpendicular to the axis of the nails. worked well to pull nails with minimal damage to the sheet metal. I wish I had a...

I use that slicer, and don't have problems. Granted, there is an update available that I keep denying. Have you recently updated?

Lost PLA molding with aluminum?

Menards had Snap-On licensed electric pressure washers in store about 8 years ago. Thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/who-makes-so-power-washers.327999/ It was quite possibly the worst tool I have ever purchased, but it was branded Snap-On. They also had SO branded LED lights...

Decided to try my hand at large ice molding for drinks this weekend. First, we need an object. I modeled a 401 Buick Nailhead piston in Solidworks and printed at half scale: That turned out, so I made a couple of centering fixtures. Hot glued the pieces together, inserted into a water...

I am happy with the 15L heated ultrasonic cleaner and the 36000 mg/h Ozone generator.

I got tired of the standard dust collection on my miter saw not being effective on this very specific setup I have for a high-volume job I am doing. Enter the printer. In place, with blade at cutting depth for this job: Did about 300 cuts last night. This works much better. I did run it in...

I picked up a 4" dust right "starter kit" at a local auction for a song. It has hose, two 4" quick connect handles, as well as the bench and floor cleaning attachments. Rather than buy their machine-side adapters, I have been printing my own. This one is for my jointer. Please ignore the mess...

This setup is extremely task specific, but it works very well. 3D printed adapter to get to shop vac hose, subsequent adapter that jumps to 4" dust collector. 3D printed zero clearance insert for the lift. I am cutting 1/4" deep on a 3/8" bit, so the bit is partially in the fence as well. I...

I got rid of my Oliver 20C 5 years ago or so. That was a bit too much lathe for my needs. My Delta has the VS reeves drive setup, and is 110V. I can grab the model number later. It's not a mini. 12" swing, probably a 3-4 foot bed.

I would look for a used one, personally. I am a curmudgeon like that, with an affinity for machines that are older than I am. I don't do much turning, but I picked up a delta variable speed 12" lathe on a stand from a client for the equivalent of $150 in labor a few years back. Put a Nova chuck...
