Tom, there's something you're overlooking: a 20A receptacle (either 120V or 240V) is intentionally designed to accept either 15A or 20A plugs. So, the assertion that a 15A plug is meant to prevent a...
I believe the Supersaw is basically a contractor's saw mechanism, with two parallel tie bars linking the front and rear trunnions. If the bars get twisted out of plane, it can become impossible to...
I have one. As others have said, it's a good machine. It's also virtually identical in deisgn and features (including the 1 HP motor) to most of the other 6" imported jointers on the market.
If I remember correctly from the DW744 that I used to have, the stock blade guard raises and lowers with the blade, so you're already almost there. It should be pretty straightforward to make a...
Another approach: if you have flourescent shop lights, you could plug a few of them into an uninterruptible power supply.
David's point is correct. He didn't say that area wasn't important, he said that the area of the glue joint (not the clamp face) is what matters for determining gluing pressure.
Something isn't right. Either the motor plate is incorrect, or there have to be more wires somewhere (maybe buried inside the motor housing).
I'd take Rick's advice and leave well enough alone....
There are a number of Harbor Freight items that have given me more than my money's worth (purchased at sale prices):
47257 digital calipers
92020 digital multimeter
93983 non-contact...
Yup. Good thing he didn't have a 24" blade handy, or he probably would have tried it in one pass. :eek:
I'm doing some work to insulate my garage and bring it up to current standards for fire protection. The walls were originally covered with rock lath panels but never finish plastered, and then...
As everyone has said, it's an online classified. Because listings are free, it attracts spamming and scamming, but the flagging system seems to work reasonably well.
I'd stay clear of the...
Or metal cover plates. I found some nice Pass & Seymour stainless steel plates. While I'm no interior designer, I think the gray devices and SS plates have a pretty cool industrial look.
I like the heavy duty plastic boxes (e.g., Carlon Super Blue). They have a lot of capacity (up to 22 cu in single gang), retain screws well, and if you did manage to strip a screw, there's enough...
First, IMHO and hopefully without getting into the Great Norm Debate, air nailers are not a necessity (and often not advisable) for building furniture. They are, however, versatile tools for lots of...
I think M.L. Condon in White Plains, NY will be your best bet.
For a regular on-off switch, it should be rated for motor use and have voltage and current ratings higher than the motor's needs.
A magnetic switch needs to be matched to the motor's voltage and...
Yup, I think the impact driver does have an impact mechanism, and I expect it will legitimately drive screws. I'm somewhat more skeptical on the impact wrench, just because 87 ft lbs (1044 in lbs...
Usually an impact "wrench" is bigger an more powerful than an impact "driver," but the operating principle is the same for both: basically a repetitive hammering action translated into rotation. Note...
Could that be the problem?
There's a toggle on the front, just to the left of the bevel angle scale. I agree that a larger switch, or a magnetic starter, would be a big improvement.
Check your local code to be sure, but you're probably not required to have GFCIs for the dedicated 240V circuits.
For the 120V circuits, I think the best solution is individual GFCI protection at...
I'm about to run out for some more SR44 batteries for my Wixey planer gauge. I absolutely love the functionality of this gadget (OK, I'll admit to a bit of a digital measurement fetish). The battery...
Porter Cable part 88708. $2.12
I have a Bosch ROS of the same era, and I'd be loathe to replace it with anything new. Put in new brushes, bearings if needed, and it should be good for another decade.
