    Frackin Time Change

    Who the eff is getting up at 5 or 6 or 7am on a Sunday? I rolled out of bed at 10:30 new time, 11:30 old time...it was great! For the record though, if we adapt only one time, it better be daylight savings...light in the evening is WAY better than early in the morning.

    Glad to see you found your way here Dave! (FYI - he commented on one of my videos on youtube asking for help with this, I'm not really in a position to help him out, but I was pretty certain someone here would be able to help :) so sent him this way)

    Machine 5HP compressor 20A breaker?

    I know my true 5hp IR compressor has tripped the 30a 240v breaker a couple of times, not usually, but in the years I've had it it has managed to trip on a start. I wanted to wire for 40a, but the wiring box on the compressor wouldn't fit 8/3 wire, so had to downsize to 10/3 and 30a.

    Product What's your favourite angle grinder?

    The Dewalt 60v ones are just as good as a big corded one, they are definitely a step up from the 20v ones....so I could see the Makita 40v being a big step up from their 18v too.

    Product What's your favourite angle grinder?

    I'm quite happy with my Dewalt cordless ones...my most used is probably the DCG413, though it's an older model and not the highest beans available, it's still super handy and has taken some pretty decent abuse. They have a new variable speed one the DCG416VSB that looks pretty awesome, might be...

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    Yes, you can take static images, connect via usb to a computer to offload. It doesn't do video, some of the FLIR ones can. Goes from -40c to 330c so pretty wide range, but not like you're going to get accurate temps on a burner or torch.

    Ideas as to how to embiggen this hole?

    Why do you need to enlarge it? There's often other ways to solve the problems. A forstner bit won't work, they're not for metal. I'd probably go with a carbide burr as well, that's the first thing that comes to mind if precision isn't exactly needed. Otherwise, it would be cut all the tubes...
