  1. Welcome to the forum.

     

    The 175 cc Briggs & Stratton 020501 2,700 psi / 2.3 gpm pressure washer looks like a decent machine.

     

    Note that on my 4,000 psi / 3.5 gpm pressure washer, I always follow instructions and first purge air from the water lines prior to starting the engine. The instructions also define how to verify the hose will provide sufficient flow.

     

    My concern would be about pump damage from having been run dry.
     

  2. Welcome to the forum.

     

    All the images I see for forged fences have this metalwork as part of a masonry wall, not sitting on or near the ground, such as around a garden.

     

    The metal could be affected by rust, so raised and part of a masonry wall permits painting and ground separation.

  3. It was very disappointing last week when the forum was down for many days for an update. 

     

    One concern was that the forum would fail to return. I had composed many informational topics that I feared were gone forever.

     

    http://forum.toolsinaction.com/search/?q=wingless&search_in=titles

     

    My solution to prevent that possible loss was to print these topics as PDF documents so that I will always have access, regardless of the forum status.

     

    It is great that the forum update was completed and the forum has been restored.

  4. Welcome to the forum.

     

    Very clever.

     

    The video shows it to be twice as fast as standard tools, but it requires two hands, standard tool only need one.

     

    If going this route, it might be useful to offer a set, the one shown, plus an in line version, in 1/4” and 3/8” drives.

     

    The concern would be strength. There are two axles and meshing gears. There is a housing. All this will be trusted to Americans. How well will this tolerate a pipe slid over the ratchet wrench for extra torque? How well will this tolerate being used as a hammer?

    My tool has the 2.3mm (0.090") riving knife w/ spring-loaded anti kickback pawls, but is missing the clear plastic blade guard. That missing / discontinued part is not available to purchase.

    A NOS riving knife / blade guard was located and purchased.

    The seller recently located the missing blade guard, then called me to come pickup that part. What an outstanding person!

     

    That original blade guard is slightly different than the replacement I purchased.

     

    The original blade guard arm has a small triangular wedge stop on the end. That stop greatly decreases the usability of the blade guard. That stop limits raising the blade guard to inches above the table, only while it is manually held up.

     

    That is contrasted by the replacement blade guard I located / purchased. The replacement blade guard may be fully raised and stays in that position until manually lowered to the table surface.

     

    The recently-obtained original blade guard was modified to match the replacement blade guard by cutting off the small triangular wedge stop and by rounding the end corners. The exposed steel was painted for corrosion protection.

     

    Effecting this change requires removal of one push-on axle cap by careful prying off the end.

     

    IMO, this is a HUGE improvement on this part. Any users w/ the blade guard having the small triangular wedge stop should effect this change. The blade guard utility is excellent w/ this modification and not good before the change.

  7. Welcome to the forum.

     

    My guess is the skill / experience level is newbie, so safety first.

     

    Power tools, especially cutting tools, have the normal / expected operation, but strange / sudden / violent actions might occur during improper usage. Research the tools and the usage methods for maximum safety.

     

    Always wear safety glasses. Always mind finger location and blade location.

     

    All that being said, the most handy tool for the projects listed is a table saw. A standard 10" portable or shop table saw is invaluable for woodworking projects.

     

    My preference is good used tools. I shop on eBay, Craig's List and Offer Up.

     

    A standard 7¼" circular saw w/ a workbench or saw horses is useful, but less accurate than the table saw.

  8. Welcome to the forum.

     

    Check eBay, Craig's List and Offer Up on a frequent basis. Use generic terms like Craftsman router and examine the pictures, because the seller might not know about this random part.

     

    My set was purchased from the other side of the country by searching all of Craig's List and snail mailing cash.

     

    Another insert was included when I bought a totally different eBay router accessory, but I've already sold that extra part.

     

    Good luck w/ your table. Mine has been working and looking great.

  9. A Milwaukee M18 Fuel 90-299-8001 16" long x 10" wide x 11" tall medium-sized tool bag was purchased for this tool.

     

    This is a nice 600 denier water-resistant top-zipper canvas bag, with six exterior pockets, two sewn / riveted handles and two sewn plastic click-snap strap attachment points. The bag has a smooth exterior canvas bottom surface. There are contrasting-color embroidered sewn logos on the exterior.

    The tool and all accessories fit nicely within the bag. There is also room for bottles of polish / compound within the bag.
