    Ask Rapidair!

    Just finished my install of Fastpipe. Tubing cutter leaves a pretty good burr in inside of pipe. The deburring tool that comes in the toolkit doesn't work very well. I used a step drill and it worked like a charm.

    Drill Press Problem

    Most of these small H.P motors are split-phase motors. They have a starting and running winding. The starting winding is automatically removed by a centrifugal switch as the motor accelerates. These switches can go out and not energize the start winding.

    Help with attaching vinyl face insulation rolls to metal building ceiling

    My metal building originally had blown on cellulose insulation. It had become dark and sooty from the previous owner. A huge hail storm came through and knocked most of it off.

    Looking for suggestions to cool 1600 sq ft metal shop building
