    Project idea: Mutli-air-compressor air controller

    OK, I will will play.... I have been thinking about a similar system, but to control my one compressor. I suggest that you start with controlling a single compressor with a vfd and if you can get that to run it will be easy to expand it to control multiple compressors. I recommend using an...

    The design choice of 12 gauge comes from the class of cabinets I'm looking to copy. The one I bid on is the model I really want to own/copy and it has 12 gauge upper and 10 gauge lower in the sump. The material thickness is not really for strength but rather for abrasion resistance. My bead...

    I The stuff I have I think is hot rolled but I have had it over 30 years so I don't remember for sure. I built my bead blast cab a long time ago but I had to pay for it to be bent as I didn't have a press brake then. I Here is the start of the plan

    Wet/Vapor/Blast Machine's

    So I have been looking at one of these machines for a few years and now I have decided that I need to own one.... Seems like they are a great metal refinish machine. The only problem with them is the cost of a true quality machine! A medium sized machine seem to be $10k and up! So in my...

    What piece of equipment to buy first?

    I couldn't agree more! Rent don't buy the lift (this is from someone who owns 2 lifts). You probably will not need a slab lift for much after you get finished with the building inside, if you get a off road lift you might be able to use it outside for other things, but an articulated lift is...

    Does the Steel Head on the Snap-On HSPD16 Hammer Unscrew?

    I don't think the steel head is removable. Why can't you just choke up on the other hammer that comes the way you want it? I have both handle styles and you can choke up on either

    So I guess that I forgot to mention what the tool cabinet is storing. It came with about 3000lbs of Wilson wt press brake punches and dies. So I now have additional capabilities to bend metal! I got slightly over 8' of 50mm, 40mm and 16mm 86 degree dies, and 8+' of the 60 degree dies. Also...

    Yes I did today, but they didn't know much about the cabinets ( the thing was sold in the US by Wilson tool ). But I figured that they didn't make them. Wilson said they would try and figure it out and get back with me. Thanks for that I was having problems with the ole search when I started...

    Quincy 325 Rebuild Questions

    It's the big brother of yours, a model 390. I "think" it was roc 14 if I remember correctly, if it matters I will look at the tag for you. I replaced the bushing, and had the machine shop hone it to around 7 tenths clearance. I also replaced the pin and the piston. I think there is a slight...

    How is the quality of the chuck? There is a place for it in my screwdriver set, and I was thinking about getting one, but it has the hex drill bits in it.

    Well I "needed" some punches and I guess I could also use a few chisels. I have been looking at the Snap-on sets for years but never found a set for the right price and that I needed more than some other tools. Only problem now is that they have a companion set..... Might have to wait...
