Re: Speed controller contacting control sheave

Attached is a PDF I downloaded from a previous post and saved, in case that is what you need.

Also, a guide on how to post a picture, in case you need help there too.

Re: Garage workshop improvements

Wow, you've got a lot of equipment! I count three full size Shopsmiths, 2 planers, 2 belt sanders, a bandsaw, a jointer, a couple of vaccums, as well as the usual garage stuff! I tend to visual "in plan" ... is this a fairly accurate plan of your garage? Sazerac81 garage.jpg Did I guess ri...

Re: Gently lowering the Shopsmith?

I lower mine down gently each time using the following method: Instead of placing the ball of your foot on the arm and pushing down, place your heal on that arm and the ball of your foot will extend to the next arm.

Trying to add photos from the ipad here but not having any luck through the upload attachment box . See if this helps with your uploading.

Re: Garage workshop improvements

Do you have a general roundabout number on how much it would cost for the actual labor charges for the install of a single duct mini-split unit? No, but what benush26 had to say I found very enlightening and reasonable. Another good guideline for A/C sizing is to look at window type units and see f...
