I turned a 700 sq ft outbuilding on my farm into shop. It is divided into 2 rooms. I insulated the walls and ceiling and replaced an old wooden garage door with an insulated one. I installed two...
Thanks everyone. Good comments all.
I understand that 277 is the line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt 3 phase system. Wouldn't it be unusual to run a motor on 277 volts? My guess is that the motors are wired for 480 volts, but I want...
An upcoming auction from a college has some classic 1960's woodworking machines that interest me. The auction states that they believe the machines run on three phase 277 volts. I am doubting this...
Thanks for confirming my guess.
I am putting in a 3 phase load center (eaton BR series) and I bought a Cutler Hammer BR330 breaker to provide power to a 30 amp outlet. The Breaker fits the panel but the breaker switch won't move to...
I am renovating my shop which has two rooms of 350 Sq ft each. I bought a no name Chinese mini split two years ago on line on sale for a little over $1000. I installed it myself except for the final...
Anyone have any thoughts on this planer that now has real carbide inserts?
I installed a high efficiency mini-split heat pump. I bought it online on sale for a little over $1,000 and installed it myself, except for the copper. An HVAC guy charged me $100 to do that part....
Has anyone used Racedeck flooring, which is typically used in garages?
Thanks to everyone for your ideas. As always, folks here have great ideas and experience.
Clint,
The shop is divided into two halves. The machines will be on the concrete half and the half I plan on using wood flooring will have benches and such. I don't expect to have anything really...
George, thanks for the link. I will look into it.
The outbuilding I am converting to a shop has a concrete slab. I plan on putting down hardwood on half of the building. Instead of using sleepers I want to attach the subfloor directly to the...
Centipedes eat the spiders. Since I convinced my wife not to kill the common centipedes that sometimes make it into our house from the crawl space, we have many fewer spiders. Black widows and brown...
Thanks for all of the comments. Since this is technically an agricultural building virtually no building codes apply in my local are, so I will use 1/2 to save weight. I didn't realize there were so...
I am converting a 700 sq ft shell building on my farm as my workshop. I have read the various threads on the merits of drywall vs OSB etc for interior walls. I am going to use drywall. What I haven't...
Last I checked, Volvo has a miniscule market share that is consistent with the percentage of the population that is willing to pay extra for safety.
If it wasn't for the Federal Government, automobiles wouldn't even have seat belts, let alone air bags. Industry will nearly always oppose safety, because there is no money in it.
In my county their are no permits required for any work on agricultural buildings on farms. If it was my residence a permit and inspection would be required. I haven't yet determined what my electric...
I'll have to check the wire size from the meter. I may never need more than 100 AMPS, but this is a farm and there are times when a welder would come in handy. My reason for keeping the 100 AMPS for...
I am starting renovations of my shop, which is an outbuilding with power from its own meter, to include a new roof, heat pump, insulation and additional wiring. I currently have 100 AMP service with...
I believe it is more like the Oliver.
I am remodeling my shop over the next several months and when I am finished I want to get a good table saw. I have read many threads on the pro's and cons of Euro Sliders, Saw Stops, etc. I recently...
