I have that and have been very satisfied with it.

Got a partial set of angled socket wrenches from Facom and have been enjoying using them so I just finished up my collection with these three from Gedore. Someone on here recommended them, they are COO India but for $35 total for 16 18 and 21mm the price was right.

1/2" spiral carbide compression router bit. The lower 3/8" is an up-cut and the rest is a down-cut. Should eliminate splintering on both faces of the piece you're routing. On sale from Woodpeckers over last weekend.

SWAG band saw table for my hand held band saw.
I've used one of those tables for 6 years in my knife shop, some of the best money I’ve spent!

I see what you did thereWas in Cleveland for the eclipse. Finally got to go to a Menards. Great selection of tools and everything else under the sun. Cleaner and more organized than any Lowe’s or Home Depot. Picked up a few things for the way back.

Beautiful set.I have a similar SWAG table and find it useful. But one problem with SWAG tables: this Swiss cheese area of mounting holes near the cutting area is ridiculous. They need to send template to drill a blank plate for various models or offer specific plates for standard models. Having that big cluster of mounting holes compromises the stability and strength of an area close to the cut. It also makes a lousy and messy surface to slide materials on. They really need to address this.

A few years ago I built a wood-fired oven out by the pool. I love it. Apparently my wife loves it more.
We fire it up year-round, but a couple months ago I ran out of good firewood. I need shoulder surgery so I didn't make much progress swinging my 12lb maul on the oak rounds, most are in the 30"-34" diameter range. So the oven has remained cold.
Yesterday my wife was a bit coy. In the afternoon her phone rang, she told me to "fire up the tractor and let's go out to the street". Hmmm.
There's a freight truck a couple hundred feet down the street at my neighbor's house. Initially I thought I was doing a neighbor a favor but it turns out the driver was off by one driveway. Pallet was addressed to me.
Brought the pallet down to the house and deposited it on the back patio. It was a bit ominous looking in it's delivered state:
Unwrapped it and holy moly...unexpected...
Not too many parts to assemble. It's electric with a Baldor 220v 1-1/2hp farm motor. I do like Baldor farm motors. Well built.
Overall great first impression. Paint is delicate, but the paint is going to get destroyed in use so no big deal there. Components are heavy with good welds. Flywheel (it's a kinetic splitter with two 90lb flywheels) shroud is plastic. Weighs about 600lbs but it easy to roll around with the large tires. Fired it up, what a treat on the ears with no gas engine or hydraulic pump.
I do have a Honda gas engine down in the shop. Never been used. Backup for remote use maybe.
I see a few modifications on the way, but to say I'm happy to have this is an understatement! Pizza party, my place!

AmPro caliper and 1/2 extendable breaker bar.
I do have a Gedore breaker bar( comparison pic added ) , actually I have 2 one still being in SA but this is longer and extendable and I'm fully taking advantage of the fact that there is no competition out there when bidding or accepting discount offers on AmPro stuff. Both of these items arrived at my door for somewhere between the mid $30s to $40

I agree.
I thought this was the whole point of stating which bandsaw you are using when buying.
3/4"-10NC Tap and die. Then my 5/16" spot weld cutter bit showed up in the mail.
They appear to try and have it fit many (too many) models by picking your mount holes. It is a lousy way to do it.
Yea I see that, one plate to rule the all. It is wild they went that way when that mounting plate is removeable so it wouldn't be a large burden to have a couple different plates.

Nice, I've been thinking about getting one of those & now since it's on sale. Does it have memory (remembers the last mode it was on)?I lost my deeply 12v light, and a good battery a couple weeks ago to my ******* leaving it on a frame of a truck I was working on. Well I bought this on sale today to replace it. And man is it bright

Just dawned on me that I'll need to use this with a bushing on the router. I'll have to see how that impacts the radius of my corner templates. I may have to make some new standoffs for the templates to compensate. It'll be fine for straight cuts though.
I do have pattern following spiral bits (with a bearing) but they're either up or down cut - not combination.

Wow, where do I even start? You ****! (Wrong thread, I know...)
That splitter looks amazing, good luck with it.
Do you have a build thread on that oven??? Certainly doesn't look DIY!!!
No doubt!
Mike
yep, just tested that. Turned it onto high let it sit for about 30 seconds and turned it off. Came back on in high.
Awesome, I think I'm gonna go pick one up today, thanks!
I've had a few questions asked about it, maybe I'll start one?

Eric, those spot weld cutter teeth are very brittle. I would suggest next time to buy a kit with replacement cutters. But since you got just two shots at this make certain you get a really good center punch to keep the bit from wandering on you, that’s what breaks the teeth off in short order.3/4"-10NC Tap and die.

You will like those. I wished they came with the same holder as their Z series socketsPicked up some 3/8 Koken NUT GRIP sockets
Thanks Cam. This is for one project and not every sure if I will try to start back on it.
I had a 3/8" and it was way too big and took too much material. I'm into these two cutters for about as much as the 2 drawer box I wanted to use them on.

I recently misplaced my 12' Komelon tape measure that I've had for 5 or 6 years, so I was in need of a replacement. Also, my local Lowes had a big stack of the mini tool boxes so I snagged one for my wife. I have a blue one at my garage for miscellaneous things and a black one on my desk at work that holds a couple small screwdrivers, bits, flashlight, Mitutoyo calipers, tape measures, etc.

These Wright metric combos are new, as in brand new, although they're not exactly new to me since I bought them a couple of months ago.
They were a pretty darn decent deal from Harry J. Epstein
