My 709 said the same thing. 220v. Trust me, it's 120v. Don't rewire for 220.

Looks like normal BC pricing to me. I'm pretty sure you could make money here on any type of tool, by buying new and using it for a couple years, then sell for a profit. :rolleyes: The odd deal does come up, but it's pretty few and far between.

That's two that don't like the Bosch grinder. I have that grinder and the lockable switch is the reason I like it. I admit, it's not a great grinder. It's pretty much an entry level unit, but I do a lot of one handed grinding with flapper discs and being able to lock the switch on is helpful...

I can't bring myself to use one of those, simply because I know how careless I am. The guard is the first thing to go on my grinders and I'm a poor example for the use of safety gloves. My hands always have at least one cut finger from a zip blade. I know if I used a chain saw blade, I'd be...

......and? You can't just drop a tid-bit like that and walk away. :)

Looks like you have good shop setup. What's the motor for? Is that a twin cam?

All good points Tom. No doubt a garage specific heater can be the better option for most. A home furnace isn't the solution for everyone. However, for me, the used furnace was the way to go. 1. It is bigger, but I don't find it overly big. Plus it's on the ceiling, so makes no difference to...

But GlenG, to address your question.....I do not have any experience with the MC plasma cutter, but at $750 I personally wouldn't do. A good rule of thumb with CT is; if it's not on sale for at least 50% off, your paying too much.

Unfortunately, CT sold the Mastercraft brand for years, and then simple changed its name to MasterCraft Maximum and brought in a line of seriously lower quality and called it MasterCraft. .........and I would buy the base Mastercraft a thousand times over before buying PowerFist. That is...

As long as it's installed correctly it will meet code and if it meets code, the insurance company can't complain. My electrical, gas, venting all meet code. The unit I have is designed to be installed vertically or horizontally, so installing it horizontally meets code. If I am nit-picky, the...

I'll second that. I don't buy anything Mastercraft anymore. It use to be decent stuff and comparable to Craftsman of days gone by. Since they introduced the "Maximum" line, the base Mastercraft has taken a serious turn for the worse. Mastercraft Maximum for the most part is ok, but only...

I hung a home furnace from the ceiling. Most of them can be safely installed on their side and it's usually pretty easy to pick up a lightly used one on Craigslist or the like. I paid $250 for a 2yr old high efficiency gas furnace a couple years ago. Less expensive to run and quieter than...

.......and just like that; the cart thread is derailed again. You guys lose focus so easily. :D

I've never tried that combo. Is the heat similar? I rarely use my gas anymore, except for heating metal to bend it.

I waited for the KMS once/yr tank sale. I didn't want to have to fill my tanks very often so I went with the 250cuft for $400 + $120 for the fill. Your $110 refill for 80cf sounds high, considering I filled a 250 for $120.
