I had the Magports, and took them off. I found the friction-fit connections I had, previously, more convenient.

They should design them with a single magnetic polarity on a given face, and the...

Little update:

The reason I bought the Dylos is that I had previously bought one of those ~$40 "air quality meters" on Amazon (e.g....

I'm not a code expert, but I don't think this is true. There may be something in the IRC (that may or may not be applicable to you, depending on where you live), but (AFAIK) there's nothing in NEC.

If you don't intend to use the heater and a tool at the same time, why do you need a switch?

Think about something like the outlets in your kitchen: you may have a toaster, blender, and coffee...

The router, while having some nice features, isn't nearly as differentiated from the competition as their sanders, Domino, drills, and dust extractors. You might (or might not) feel differently if...

I bought the DC1100 Pro meter, and am wondering if it's working correctly. The "bar graph" jumps from near-zero to near-full scale, seemingly at random, very quickly (every few seconds) and I can't...

But the difference in power is not because one is "electric" and one is "gas". It's because electrics are typically 2HP, and gas ones are typically 5HP, but there's nothing to say you can't have a...

PSI and GPM fully define the cleaning performance.

Keep in mind that most mid-range gas power washers are ~5HP. A 120V 15A outlet is going to give you, max, 2HP. If you want performance that's...

I know some folks put a sliding table on the side of their bandsaws, but this is something else:...

I could see that happening if the work was clearly sub-par.

But no inspector is looking up permit history and leading buyers to tear out perfectly good work just because the paperwork wasn't...

So in the case of a finished basement, how do you know it wasn't finished by the original builder?

Respectfully, this sounds a bit dubious...

Who "required" this?

I sold a house in CO, recently, and beyond a line on the seller's disclosure form that said something like, "To the best of your...

FTC is actively working to ban them: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/01/ftc-proposes-rule-ban-noncompete-clauses-which-hurt-workers-harm-competition

This is something that...

Sorry if I ruffled feathers. This forum (in particular) seems to have a much-higher-than-average affinity for VPNs, for reasons that are not clear, to me.

The reason I asked is that it seems like...

Why do you think you need a VPN?

Have you ran a speed test with and without the VPN active to confirm this hypothesis (that the VPN introduces a "throttling")?

...which is why I'm leaning towards a frayed wire or something like that.

But how does this explain the humming when the contactor is open? I suppose the start switch could be dirty and making a high-impedance circuit through the coil, causing it to hum but not quite get...

This is really helpful, Derek - I'm planning some chairs, soon, and will look into this!

Looks like terminal 3 (L2 along the top edge) is wrong. You've got it hooked to one side of the coil, but it otherwise doesn't go anywhere.

That looks pretty cool. Cleaning grill grates, etc?

Do you need a bare contactor (ie - just the "switch" bit), or do you need a motor starter (which would include a contactor, overload protection, start/stop buttons, and likely have all that inside an...

Just bumping this old thread to ask if anyone else has used a PureFlo 3000 or has any opinions on it.

Seems really ideal to quickly toss it on your head and have air, face, and ear protection...

Jim, that "style" is exactly what I was thinking, though!

With LED bulbs, I'm suspicious that the diode approach might not work, although I love the idea.

Certainly many ways to do this, I was...

Hmm, interesting thoughts, but nothing quite like what I'm looking for.

There are dimmer switches where the on/off toggle is prominent, and the dimmer control very small. These make good sense to...
