Re: Looking for suggestion

Due to some medical conditions I’m looking to get a battery powered screw gun that is light weight but still a good tool. I am no longer able to hold my two current ones up when working shoulder high and higher for any amount of time. This one seems to get good reviews. https://www.northerntool.com...

Re: Memory failing me.....

McMaster-Carr calls them "dowell nuts", where Lowes calls them "barrel nuts". McMaster-Carr shows something different for "barrel nuts". Weird. :confused:

Re: Shorty Drill Press not perpendicular to floor, any ideas?

The reason for reversing the table and head stock is because of that short of a foot print. If you didn't the thing would fall over on it's own. With everything reversed all the weight is directly over the bench. It is as solid as a rock. John, On your setup, did reversing the headstock/table cause...
