DC3300 tools holder
I am in the process of making a tools holder for the wands and brushes. It is not finished so I don't have any pictures. It consists of 2 short vertical pieces of 2X4 bolted onto the sides of the base near the rear wheels and a cross piece of horizontal 2X4 attached to the upper ends of the vertical...

For all of you in Canada, a great place for bolts, screws, etc. is Bolt Supply. They have a huge selection, good prices and will sell you just one of a kind if that is all you need(no prepacs or blister pacs, although many items are also available in 100 unit boxes). The individual price is 1=1/100t...

The concept is: As the crank is turned, it slides the speed changer's pulley to the right or the left. This makes the driven side(motor to speed changer belt) of the pulley larger or smaller, depending on which way you turn the crank and whether you are using the speed changer in low range or high r...

I have the following: and my observations on each: -In the Garage shop: A close to 50 yr old TeCo shop vac(A private labeled Shop Vac Corp made unit). I bought it at a garage sale almost 40 yrs ago.

I was a relatively early convert to the 520 upgrade. When I got the conversion kit, I thought why doesn't it have some kind of rule marking on it, as it has all those flat surfaces. Yes, I also thought how would it work, since the blade and table are not always in the same constant position relative...

I got one about 20 years ago. It is relatively small, with 2 different tooth sizes back to back on the blade. I find it extremely handy, fast cutting and very easy to use. I like the pull stroke concept; seems more precise than push stroke saws. I also have another large non Japanese made pull strok...

Almost no SPT's bought used have a manual included, especially if bought off ebay(if there was one it most likely gets sold serarately for more than SS charges). I have bought MV era manuals from SS to replace the over twice as thick bilingual ones that shipped with SSs sold into Canada when SS used...

I designed a workbench for myself a few years ago and have since built a half a dozen for family. It is not fancy and it isn't portable or pretty. The main criteria was to be cheap to build and be sturdy, as in mount a vise on it, and be able to pound on it. An 8' X 2' bench takes approx 21- 2x4 stu...

This is copy of my post on another thread, but is just as relevent to this one. These and a lot more scams are out there trying to separate people from their cash, credit cards, PayPal, bank account, identity, etc, etc. I probably get a couple a month or more depending on the time of year.
