    Power!!!

    I got power in the workshop! *grunt* *grunt* *grunt* In addition to the four puny 15A receptacles already there, I now have an additional 18 (duplex) 20A receptacles in full metal jacket to plug stuff into. I'm not sure I have that many tools...yet :tool: (more grunting). Oh, and five 240V...

    Silly Question Time: Power Switches

    I am thinking of getting a paddle-type power switches, where you can turn it off with your knee. I will mount it on my router table (yeah, I am lazy about posting pics). The descriptions are not very clear on one point: do I plug my router into the switch, and wire a plug into the paddle...

    HD $25-$300 off on Power Tools

    Was in the Strickland Rd HD today looking for pocket screws, which by the way they don't seem to carry or at least no one knows what or where they are, and they're running the following promotion. Rebates of $25-300 bones isn't too shabby if you're already looking to pick up something and...

    The best of ... power tools

    This is the third of a couple "the best of..." posts I've started. The idea behind it was to get people talking about tools and accessories and whatnot that they've used and really find to be of much use. Sometimes this is the unexpected satisfaction you get from a purchase, sometimes you knew...

    Reconditioned power tools

    I am thinking about buying a reconditioned Ridgid oscillating edge/belt spindle sander, model EB4424. The reviews for the new sander is outstanding, but no reviews listed for the reconditioned sander. What is your thoughts on reconditioned power tools from Ridgid?

    Workshop power problem!

    All, Here I go again with a ridiculous question but... I installed a dedicated shop circuit in my breaker box. Following what I thought were building code rules, I installed a 20-amp GFCI circuit breaker so I would not have to put in GFCI outlets everywhere. Everything worked great for a...

    Power Twist Link Belt on Smaller Pulleys

    Lots of us admire the Power Twist Link belt, which comes in any size you want, as long as it is a 1/2" wide belt. I have a Delta 10" tabletop drill press, and the pulleys measure a smidge under 3/8". The belt on the DP was the original (at least 10 yrs old), and was good for light duty only...

    The power of the dark side, It's Dark In Salisbury

    Well I went to Harbor Freight this weekend to get a set of the digital fractional calipers. Every time I walked by the bigger wood working tools I felt a strange force pulling me ever so much closer. I finally realized that I was there two days before the sale on their lathe was to end. I...
