  1. Today
  2. Hi One of your chargers might be faulty that did the same thing with three different batteries at the same time. It is very unlikely that three batteries would go dead at the same time. If your charger still has warranty you can ask for warranty for the batteries as well, I assume, you can try to talk to them and explain the issue.
  3. You are welcome, you can still use it manually with DeWALT T-handle maybe, which accepts 1/4" hex shank bits. I have to try it first to see how easy and smooth it can be. My idea was to have everything with E6.3 1/4" hex shank as much as possible because it is easy to keep them organised in DeWALT accessory cases. I had a similar idea to actually have every size of die integrated with this tool that Onishi has made as a single piece of metal. I did a drawing for that also but I could not find it now, when I find it I will share it here.
  4. Hey everybody. I'm in the heart of horse country here in Kentucky and I'm lucky enough to have some inroads to some prominent farms. Basically my buddies on these farms know I'm a woodworker and are saying 'show me what ya got.' Secret thing is...I don't really have that much (shhh). Recently I made the garden obelisk pictured below and put it on my buddy's property. What I'd really like to get into is making things, anything they might want for the farms themselves. Does anyone have pictures or ideas about what kind of ornamental structures would be appropriate for horse farms? I don't imagine I could provide anything actually functional because all that stuff is already covered (I assume) so the best place for me to aim is 'ornamental.' I brought the below pictured obelisk out to my buddy's farm but the only place it looked right was in the house yard. I'm def open to your suggestions as to what make and entertain my buddies with. Thanks a ton! PS. I think I spoke too soon because I've already had someone suggest great things I can make that actually ARE useful to daily operations. I suppose I'm thinking along the lines of something one farm owner would see and think, hey, I want that on my farm. I'm thinking something unique, but anything that would sell works for me.
  5. What helped me is to make sure the depth control is all the way out so it has further to press down. Then take nails out pull back the slide and dry fire it with the front latch closed. It worked for me.
  6. Thanks. My preference has always been by hand, w/ a back and forth motion.
  7. Hello, I have seem to be having an issue with my 12v batteries (Bosch professional). They were working fine, I put them on charge and the stop working. I now have 3 “dead” batteries. Two batteries were new, and charged with two different chargers, same result. My drill works fine, i out the batteries in to drill prior to charge and all was good. I put them on charge, the charge light flashed for 10 seconds and then went solid green. Put battery in to drill and nothing. Tried another new battery, worked in drill, put on a different charger, same result. Anybody please able to help?
  8. Also the maximum diameter of the bars to be threaded can be 10.5mm with the maximum length of 40mm.
  9. As you can see in the drawing the external diameter of the dies should be 25mm.
  10. The purpose is to use the dies with a power tool, specifically with a impact driver or a drill with a hex shank adapter or chuck and not manually. Basically you attach the dies in this die holder and secure it with the grub screw and use it with impact driver to make threads on a metal bar.
  11. Sorry for my ignorance, what is the purpose / use of this tool?
  12. Here is the link Amazon.co.jp: Onishi Kogyo Hexagonal Shaft Die Holder (NO.29) M2 - M10 : DIY, Tools & Garden
  13. I was digging amazon Japan and I found Japanese brand Onishi making a lot of japanese made tool accessories and one is this amazing tool. You will need to grind it 4-5mm to shorten it to make it compatible with the western impact drivers. Made in Japan
  14. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you'll need to install a double-pole, 240-volt, 20-amp breaker for the saw. This setup will provide the correct voltage and amperage for your saw to operate safely and efficiently.
  15. It's a good reminder that just because something's popular doesn't mean it's true or sensible. Sometimes, the majority can be way off the mark.
  16. Yesterday
  17. Specifically these items that I'm looking to purchase. I have a few questions about those and any other models, this is not my 1st rodeo with these; https://www.tequipment.net/Triplett/RHT32/Psychrometer/ https://www.tequipment.net/Extech/RH300-CAL/Lab-Accessories/ I have had issues with a Martel C315 Humidity Meter (I believe the company is out of business now) which is the same as the current Amprobe TH-3 that is over 10 years old now.; https://www.testequipmentdepot.com/amprobe-th-3-relative-humidity-temperature-meter-dual-display-extended-probe-and-capacitive-sensor.html I haven't used it much lately due to the following; What happens the unit looses it's calibration using their 'salt bottles' in a matter of months. So anytime I need to use it, it has to be re-calibrated. 1. How long are these models (not just this one I'm looking at) hold calibration? 2. How long are those 'salt bottles' good for (assuming they are kept closed and in a temperature proper environment. Same goes for the tool itself)? 3. How does one know these calibration bottles are still good? 4. Does one have to add more filtered water to those bottles after a period of time? I have read, two years was mentioned for the lifespan of those 'Salt Bottles' which seems kinda short (of course depending just how often you calibrated the meter.
  18. Mirka is a Finnish brand making expensive tools and mostly in China, unfortunately. I like their small cordless sanders and they use the Metabo's old style 12V batteires, Metabo has switched their batteries to flat sliding batteries, I think if Mirka wants to keep this style of batteries which I agree it suits their 12V tools, they can switch to Bosch 12V batteries and they can be in their battery alliance. I wonder if Mirka makes sand machines for Festool?! I know Fein does make multitools for Festool and in return Festool allowed Fein to use their Tanos tool cases until Fein joined Ampshare battery alliance then they switched to Bosch Lboxx. Mirka is using Festool's Tanos cases, in return for making their sanders?!
  19. I have heard (also experienced) that the brands deal with the warranty in different ways. Festool and Hilti having a good reputation in this field, probably Fein as well, as I am new with them, I assume this is a hidden way of coming to a conclusion how to treat the customer by Milwaukee and maybe by other brands if they have hidden things like that, too. What do you think?! This is a way of collecting data from you, to see if you are a DIY'er or a pro. I don't know about the US, but here in UK if you buy a power tool you buy it on your name, so all is clear.
  20. Last week
  21. Fantastic work! Seeing this remodel makes me eager to revamp my own bathroom. There are so many things I'd do differently now. I've come across some excellent floor tiles houston. The current tiles in my bathroom have a dreadful color, and the bathtub is starting to show its age.
  22. My inflator is not working with the tire inflator. I can set the desired pressure with buttons but when I clip the valve on the tire it does not read the pressure right. It shows up in the 80's. Has anyone had this issue? Is it toast? The other inflator/blower works fine.
  23. Almost twenty years ago i landed a Delta 15" planer # 22-785X. I've used the "stuff' out of it and need a Pinion Gear # 1349418. any help would be appreciated! CQ
  24. I tweaked a bearing on the cutterhead during installation. I ordered replacement bearings and now waiting for them to arrive. in the meantime, anyone know the procedure for dismounting and mounting said bearings? I figure use a puller to get the old bearings off, but to reinstall new bearings, do I do a cold fit and press (tap) them on or freeze the cutterhead and warm up the bearing and slip it on? they are sealed bearings, I’m guessing blowtorch is a bad method to warm them. Induction heater? Heat in oil? Next step is putting the cutterhead in the sled, do I put a bit of grease in the housing that holds the bearing prior to tapping it in?
  25. Mirka has announced some updates to the Deos and Deros family of sanders with the new Deos II and Deros II models. There is some tweaks to the controls like a display to show what speed you are in and an extra 50 watts of power to the motor of each. It is a UK video. Doesn't look to be announced for North America yet.
