No thanks on a plane iron, but on a tile job I just finished where I needed to remove a lot of old tile, carbide tipped chisels turned the job into a different, easier realm than steel chisels I had...

Most of the houses I built here at the lake over the 33 years that I was building them have Yellow Pine cathedral ceilings. None have any finish on them including the one we've lived in since 1980. ...
The pads on the sander do wear out to the point that they won't hold anything. I keep spares because you don't know until discs start flying.
The brass threaded inserts are good things to make into drill guides for such things.
I would want to get the broken piece out. Left handed cobalt drill bit, or at worst drill it out and upsize to 3/8” at worst.
I’ve bought sets of three taps off eBay used and all have been...
Terro is just Borax in solution with some sweetener that the little ants like. It works great on the little ants. It doesn’t take many drops either.
I'm sure they're all fine. Just pick the one that seems right for you. I have a Milwaukee because I'm very comfortable with sidewinder circular saws. My biggest use for it is cutting off tops of...
How about a grease fitting with a hole targeting the area it needs to get to?
Gonna need a bigger shop.
Back when we heated the house that I built as a passive solar house with wood backup in 1980, we used a Riteway wood heater. The company went out of business about ten years later. It is ugly, but...
My money is on the ruler trick. I think it's just to get something sharp if you can't without it.
We bought this gas one probably 30 years ago. It's been a good one. I'm sorry if the quality has gone down. We had been heating with wood before then.
I had it on one. I sprayed Clorox Cleanup on it a couple of mornings before I put on my socks and it went away. I thought it might burn, but it didn't.
I was meaning slop in the rack and pinion mechanism.
I used one like that for my first couple of years. With no stand and no motor, I'd pass.
Did you lube the column? Sounds like some slop somewhere in the system, but lubing should help.
My friends that work for, and used to work for NASA say their definition of an expert is someone who has done something before.
I have no claim to being an expert because most days I’m doing...
We have one full of antique family furniture that we don't have anywhere to use but don't want to get rid of it. They have a couple of small vents built in, but they're probably only good for...
Years ago my Dad came to where I was working and told me that the oil in my truck wouldn't touch the dipstick, and I'd been so busy that he changed the oil in it for me. I had just changed it and...
No problems with the two air compressors I run. They aren’t in an industrial process though. The John Deere hydraulic oil I run in the tractors is some darker than most of it.
Here's the link:

Petroleum based dye sold on Amazon for just that purpose in a choice of colors. Don’t know how to copy and paste a link on my phone.
Logo looks like the same company that made drill bits. I'm sure they will work fine.
I bought one of these packages because any thick stuff I ever used is not used frequently and it always sets up before I need some again. I noticed when I went to get this link that it says package...
I'm copying and pasting my post, no.30 in this thread. This is what others were agreeing with and saying that other manufacturers supply over-length bits to start with too.
