Evan Purple240zt

NO BLADE! damn! Evan BTW, that huge jet bandsaw popped up used locally on craigslist. I wish I had the 600 bucks and enough space for it.

Sweet Joel, an outdoor lift? You showoff. You will be the envy of the neighbors. LOL Evan

Add another set of fingers! My car actually creeps forward in neutral in sub zero weather sometimes. Evan

I had that problem back in the day on my 240z... it was cured by swapping in a clutch master from a 280z parts car that I had. The pedal travel must have been different. Careless, I have a small strip of copper that I use as a spoon, like the penny. ITs cool because I can "reach" into pipes etc. Evan

Well, there aren't a ton of females into the car scene. Who can blame them, its surrounded by trampy women and dirty fingernails. Just kidding! My fiance' loves cars, and is willing to help me when I need it on the car. She helped me install at trans a few weeks ago. Its not really her thing, which is cool... it is something I can enjoy myself. Austin Hokes girl has been seen in more than one photo with safety glasses and dirty hands. Cool stuff. They are out there! Evan

Thanks Bill, I just backed out on one because it spun slowest 500 RPMs. Evan

Weird trade indeed. Best of luck Evan

Nah, I don't take offense at all!!! The dude with the craftsman can't seem to get back a hold of me so I am continuing my search. I am starting to wonder if I should just get a new benchtop and be done with it. I have a feeling at some point I will regret it though. Evan

Wow.

Bo, I have really good quality drill bits etc.. so I am set there. Evan

What no photos yet? Good deal man. Evan

Thanks Dave, that clears it up. Evan

That deal from K&D tools sucks. I had one, and I broke it within two attempts at uses. Quite honestly your better off marking and cutting with a sawzall. IMO horizontal bandsaw is the way to go. I like Austin's solution but I am willing to bet its well out of my price range. Evan I looked at this milwaukee unit, this looks just like a standard chopsaw with a $150 blade... Austin can you elaborate on the differences?

I have an appointment to see an older (Read decent quality) craftsman floorstander with a dead motor. Guy wants $50 for it, said everything is good and no rust. He had two presses and killed this one. A foot switch would be amazing, thats a great idea. Since I will be changing to a bigger motor anyway. Evan

Thanks guys, That radial drillpress is really cool! Evan

Thanks 24oz... I think I may have found one. Floorstander Delta that would do the job nicely. EDIT; 2 hour drive each way ain't happenin!

I don't literally mean cheap! I would like a quality unit with no runout on the chuck. Drilling triangle holes is something I can do with my hand drill! *gasp* harbor freight has some higher end models that look alright. I really think I want a floor stander, thoughts? I have had trouble before with long drillbits and a smaller stroke cheapie drill press. Do I really need a floorstander? I dunno. Some level of precision is very important, I want to be able to drill nice straight and round holes! Most use will be metal, with some wood/plastic. Thoughts or advice? I searched and read a post from about 3 years ago, but thought things may have changed since then. My budget is 250 or so. Thanks - Evan BTW; I do have 220v in my garage if thats a must!

Looking good man. Power windows RULE!

Tony, seems to me the deal is as good as done if you can get her to go look at it with you. Evan

Concrete anchors are how lifts are installed.. thats just the name of the game. The top or bottom plate is to cover up hydraulic hoses.

There is a writeup online on how to make one completely from urathane and bolts. Its pretty neat. Not sure where I saw it though. It used plastic cups.

Put new flares on the old flares for twice the flarey goodness. Evan

I always grab the Onion when I am at the grocery store! No pun here... its on the racks and free. Always good for a laugh.

Haha, this is just too awesome.

Ah man, thats horrible news.. Ill have to call him. Evan
