That sure does look brighter then my expensive red beam rotary laser. congrats.

I use my spindle sander on pretty much every sign I make. It really helps with the dust to have a small shop vac attached.

I wish is when BTP is no longer offering a product, that they would remove it from the list.

I wouldn’t count on anything being added.

Looking forward to trying it out.

What does it do, eat rodents?

I don’t think that Harbor Freight has a great reputation amongst tool enthusiasts.

Here is my shop heater. Another auction pick up for $60. I just started using it. I was a little worried it might catch my shop on fire. I set it up outside my garage/shop and close the door about 1/2 way. My shop is a 3 car garage and it heats it from 50 deg to 70 deg. in about 20 min.

Aren’t black sockets usually impact rated.

Wow, you are correct. Not sure how that happened.

Still sounds like a very good price. How far are you getting it?

Very interesting entry level CNC machine. My software cost about 6x as much as this machine. I’m assuming that all dust clearing will be by hand. The Bosch will probably do fine.

The Makita has a blower on the exhaust port but its almost $100CDN more than the Bosch. I’ve got both systems so batteries aren’t really a consideration

I’ve just started working with a small CNC so I need something lightweight and relatively quiet

I have the B…[Read more]

The dust bag looks exactly like the Skil dust bag, I have.

That’s a lot of SDS+ bits. You know that you can throw dull ones out, if you have replacements. Of course I say that and I probably have close to that and I’m retired.

I can’t say that I’ve seen the hangers for sale, but I’m sure they are out there somewhere. Maybe try and contact Bosch for info.

A little bit of both. There is usually a inspection day the day before the auction. The site is 2 hours from me and I’ve only checked things out once, the first auction I participated in. Most things all you can…[Read more]

Some of you might be aware that I’ve gotten some great deals at a particular local auction. Well here is my latest.

I picked up a brand new Toro Power Max HD 828 snow blower for $ 250 US. This unit sells for $ 1200 US. Got it home, put some gas in it and it’s all good.
