Our stock cutting needs have grown to exceed the capacity of our little faithful Northern Tool band saw, which is a 5x6" swivel head band saw sold by several brands. It's a good machine and will remain our backup saw, but it struggles with production stock cutting. Recently we had to replace the bronze worm gear on the little 5x6" band saw. See this post for the details on that ordeal. Bronze worm gears are considered a wear item and will need to be replaced. Finding a replac

I've been eyeing the Fogbuster system for years for times/equipment where I can't use flood coolant, but I just can't swallow paying several hundred dollars for a water filter housing, some tubing, and a small block of metal. Along comes SST, and finally makes a similar fogless flood coolant system, the SST Lube Cube, that may even have some improvements. ▼ WHERE TO BUY ▶ SST LUBE-Cube Fogless Coolant Sprayer System IS LUBECUBE A COPY OF FOGBUSTER? Yes, but the original Fogbu

I've been working on a vise jaw design that can hold a workpiece of any shape. The jaws are designed to fit ontop of a KURT clone vise....

I needed a hydraulic shop press for many uses. Force testing vs displacement on some rubber samples. Pressing and forming PEM nut threaded inserts into sheet metal Bending sheet metal Pressing in pins. Pushing out pins. One thing I would like to be able to do is to pull on samples to test to failure. I could find or modify this press with a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. The way this hydraulic press is designed, the head with cylinder can be flipped upside down with the cy

The KOBALT Quiet Tech 26 Gallon Air Compressor has failed for the second time. The first air compressor lasted about a year before it became very loud (sounded like it was leaking air from compressor cylinder area), and would take longer to refill. I returned it (under the 3 year warranty) and replaced it with another, hoping that it was a fluke. Since then, I've learned more about oil free compressors and how they can be serviced. Companies like California Air Tools off rebu

This is not one of those wimpy folding hands trucks. This is a seriously heavy-duty tool. I purchased my Wesco Aluminum Mega Mover here: https://amzn.to/37L3h0j 2026 UPDATE I have used this handtruck for 10 years, and it is still awesome. I do wish the tires were solid rubber. One tire has never held air very well. The other usually holds air for a long time, but I need to inflate them more often than I would like. The tire size is 8in diameter, 2.5in wide with a centered hu

In this video, I'll show how I installed a shop sink where there was no plumbing access by using a portable sink.

WOW WOW WOW! That's all I can say about how quiet this California Air Tools 8010 Ultra Quiet Compressor actually is! I would not hesitate to get yours here now. Just watch the video if you don' believe how quiet it is. I have a full conversation over it with my co-worker. It sounds like a sewing machine. The compressor has an 8 Gallon tank and a 1HP rated motor. I purchased this compressor with intent to use it, so this was not given for review, nor was I asked to review it
