The need for 500-amp residential electric service largely depends on the specific energy demands of future homes and the technology that evolves....

Given how much lint builds up inside dryers, I'd say a lot of the air in the chassis is leaking out from the drum. I guess that counts as recycling...

I am in agreement with at least two previous posts that a work bench upgrade might be quite satisfying for you. You built a Thuma bed, and provided...

The website says they are closing. If you look through the inventory that's in stock appears most of it has been sold off.

Most standard outlets are 10-15 amp capacity. A 20 amp outlet looks different and the plugs on a 20 amp cord are different. 12 AWG will...

Nice jtk

Yes, this thread is pretty much dead, but the X31 group is alive and kicking. https://groups.io/g/roblandx31 The XSD machine is just about...

Maybe a Google image search would get you additional views. If there is one square with the leg profile you have a direct copy. Tom

The air in the dryer chassis is coming from somewhere - most likely from the room itself. I could imagine there is a slight increase in efficiency...

Andrew, samples help but for cutters with no drawings and the rounded joinery forget trying to measure off the cutter. Better to use the old two...

I stuck a bearing on mine, as it was absent for a long time, (tried learning to weld whilst filling the cuts in the face, and the same thing...

According to their website, the business is up for sale including current inventory.

Hi, I joined to talk about the XSD, as I just picked one up in pretty sore shape. Wondering if anyone is going to respond or if this is a dead...

The earlier conversation said they were going out of business. If inventory still exists, why shut the doors?

I've always wondered about this too. I think it's the plug connection. My question has always been about the wire- Can solid wire handle more load...

I'm back up and running. The Dev Con epoxy survived pressing the thrust bearing and wheel assembly back into the adjustable mounting shaft and run...

Must have a look at those videos again John, as I remember the setup pretty fascinating and of a bygone time. Carl, you're a man after me own...

I have the bottom 6 glued up and they turned and fit out much, much better than I thought they would. We're gluing up the top 5 tomorrow, leaving...

But, in scenario one, that is the least of your worries. :(

Either way, you buy a new boat.

I kinda think that Erik is correct. That said, I think it's a good thing that we are "over protective" of not dropping machine components as we do...

If the straps fail holding down the boat while driving down the highway at 70 mph I wouldn't want to be riding a bike behind the truck. Both the...

I'm thinking of "outside" air as being the air in the room where the dryer sits - as opposed to the air inside the dryer chassis. (Of course, if it...

If you compare lifting straps to ratchet tie downs, they are constructed differently because they handle load differently. Tie-downs are designed to...

Ever restored a car or tractor?

So your driving down the road towing your rebuilt with a 2 hole conduit clamp and used radiator hose trailer and it comes apart... on the road. It...
