I have owned all electric and I currently own a plug in hybrid. It is one of five cars I own all the others are ICE. I have been in this game for quite awhile. If you are retired which is sounds...

I would get the Grizzly. Good bandsaws for the money. I have a Grizzly 17" that I have never had a spot of trouble with. I have an SCM jointer planer that even though it cost well over twice my...

Don't rule out amazon or best buy. At less than $500 you are still in beginner category and you can often find the best price on something like amazon though by all means look around. Get a good...

In general not a good idea to reuse roofing materials, the holes never match up etc. Search for a gunnable ridge vent, not all of them are supposed to be installed with a nail gun. For sure get a...

Electric is best for small jobs unless you buy a really expensive unit. I had an electric Hotsy that would run with any gas unit I have ever used but it certainly wasnt cheap, or portable. I can...

I use the Grizzly Mobile base for my SCM 41. The stock mobility would be great except I need to drive my machine the other way to park it against the wall. The larger grizzly mobile base handles...

I think most of the drywall sandpaper is around 100 to 120 grit so you should be fine. I have found that unless I am doing rooms and rooms of taping that it is just as easy to use my regular ROS to...

I would for sure just post a sign. I am totally sympathetic to the loss of fruit, I grow it and I want to enjoy it, or at least be asked first but I see persimmon trees wasting fruit all the time...

Get the saw with the foot brake. I have a grizz with the foot brake and once you get used to the brake it is a game changer. I can keep my hands on the work and safely shut the saw down while also...

You can find someone to complain about any equipment purchase you might make. So what. I have two grizzly machines and one SCM machine that cost more than both of my grizzly machines combined. ...

Home Depot is a superior place to purchase Grizzly tools. I recently bought the shopfox version of the 7066 Lathe for less with tax than the grizzly goes for on their site, the shopfox lathe on...

I couldn't imagine working without my parallel clamps. I have some of the original Bessy K- bodies which while great 20+ years ago have not aged well. I think Jet makes the absolute best but they...

sorry, it's true. a quick google search backed that up. Feel free to google it. I quickly saw several EV sites and an article in car and driver based on their charging of a test car.


Yes...

I have an electric car. Nobody would charge an electric car on 120v. 120 is much less efficient as well. I think I was told it is only 80% efficient to use that low of a voltage to charge your...

use a contactor

you just need to make sure the contactor has a 120V coil if you want to use a 120V switch

the 240V power from the outlet connects on one side you connect the other side to the...

the Oneida Muffler will help. I ended up building a plenum box lined with carpet and attached that in line right after the muffler, with my cartridge filter hanging from the plenum. Between the...

I have an Oneida cyclone and had it wall mounted on a home made bracket. I moved it to a floor stand when I needed the wall space to park another tool. Works the same either way. I have an elbow...

I have a 240V cyclone so I made a remote using a contactor that uses 120V on the coil. I then use a cheap "christmas light" type remote to turn my cyclone on or off. The cheap remotes can be readily...

for small compressors like that I think oil less is fine.

out of curiousity, you are buying a quiet compressor so why are you locating it in a basement and piping 65ft of hose? I could see that...

I actually have lots of experience with cut resistant gloves from my day job and I have yet to find one that truly allows for dexterity due to the thickness of the material. There are some options...

I'm glad the OP found a hatchet he liked. I have had good luck with Kharkiv forge on Etsy for carving tools. The Link below is to the hatchet I have for carving. It is crazy slow to get, ships from...

just as an aside, you do not need to remove the fence on the SCM machines to convert between jointer and planer either, just pull the fence forward and it clears the other table. I like the idea of...

Craig,

I did consider the Hammer, Felder and the SCM41E. The Hammer and the SCM 41C were basically the same price. the Felder and the SCM41E seemed nicer but didn't offer enough for me to...

I have a minimax 41C with a Xylent head and am quite happy with it. the giant plastic pork chop guard is junk, especially at the price point, but it does the job. I think a Euro guard is another...

I had the same experience as the OP two months ago. I drove quite a ways thinking I would get to see and touch the sliding table saws to help make up my mind and found nothing. A cramped area...
