    Craig's Craftex CX706 Comes Clean

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

    Power Hacksaw $500 Abbotsford BC

    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.

    Tool Angle grinders. Most dangerous tool in the shop?

    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...

    Tool Angle grinders. Most dangerous tool in the shop?

    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...

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

    Garage furnace

    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...

    CTIRE, Mastercraft Plasma Cutter?

    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.

    CTIRE, Mastercraft Plasma Cutter?

    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...

    Garage furnace

    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...
