When shopping for cordless tools, look for brushless motors. More torque and longer battery life. I used to have Dewalt and Porter-Cable, but switched to Kobalt when i upgraded to brushless.
With the price of lumber i went with CFS to fabricate trusses in-situ in our tractor shed. IIRC each truss was $200 in material. Installed on. 12' centers. Original construction was a simple king truss holding up a ridge board. Trusses were sagging at the center 3' nailed overlap. Carpenter bees...
Npalen- Google "seams impossible tool". It is a bearing sled for a 3/4" carbide burr that is shimmed to the tube ID and seam location. Works great, though it takes time to make the shims that locate it in the tube.
The 5hp 10cfm with 60 gal tank is what i consider minimum for a shop. 2 stage for 175psi. Plumb in an air header with 6-10 drops depending on shop layout. Do NOT use PVC pipe, only black iron or the new plug and play aluminum or PEX kits. Also hang a 50' or 100' hose reel near the roll up door...
Flailmaster was able to secure funding and is now employee owned. They were closed for about a year IIRC. I drive past their shop in Murfresboro on my commute to work. I am very glad to see them back. Great folks there.
Yes, just need a remote bladder tank. We are on city water, but 200' up and 3000' from. meter. We have a pump house from an old spring cistern halfway in the 2" pipe run. We have a booster pump and 84 gal bladder tank in basement. Barn is fed by a 1" pvc 200' water line. Will have a 30 gal...
Those look very similar to the Flailmaster FM7 blades I use on my JD 25A flail. Bought a bunch when FM was closing a couple years ago. I mean like 2 complete sets plus blades for my JD 390 flail. It helps that i drive by FM every day on my wayvto anf from work. The FM7'S were like $1 ea at the...
1/4 × 6 TimberLOK screws with a fender washer under the head may be a good choice as well. I would either caulk on the surface, or white tape used for the roll insulation on a steel frame building. Caulk in the grooves may make disassembly difficult.
Those panels are pade to be the exterior wall of a steel frame industrial building. We have them on the walls of our plant. They could be attached to the girts on a pole barn or engineered steel building. Ripping them to 16" to fit your walls will be tough. If you try it, be sure to wear a...
For 1/8" aluminum i find hand powered is fine unless there are grip strength issues with user. I recomend one of the swivel head types. I use pneumatic on the 3/16 and up stainless that i use on trailer and tool box hasps and latches. The SS are a bit harder to set.
If running gutters, i...
I have one on the self in the shop. I can confirm in the morning. JD Parts shows as TXJim stated, M134346. eBay shows 2 listings for M134346, $30.07 with free shipping. Price seems reasonable to me.
