Motronic posted:That is not the primary reason they have air travel restrictions. It's because mechanical damage releases that energy violently in the form of smoke and fire, which while not terribly likely, creates an obviously huge problem on a plane in flight. Remember that most air freight (used to) ride in the bottom of passenger flights. Absolutely (plus the possibility of thermal runaway creating a fire very difficult for the onboard suppression systems to deal with). But what I was referring to was that part of the restrictions are that they are not allowed to ship them fully charged (as I understand it).

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPS_Airlines_Flight_6 on a true cargo flight that was lost due to Li-Ion battery fire. There are restrictions on SoC, package weight, and lithium quantity. Ever try to put out a Lithium fire? Water doesn't work unless you've got a ton of it.

What is the absolute fastest way to replace the swivel pegs for a Black & Decker Workmate WM125 woodworking table/bench, either by getting new pegs or using something else that’ll fit in the holes and work as vice grips? Apparently if I order new pegs from the Black & Decker website, they won’t ship for 2 loving weeks, and I need this poo poo NOW.

I'm not sure which part is considered the swivel peg but since the whole table is $30 I'd consider either just getting a new one to use, or using the part you need from the box, and returning it in 2 weeks with the parts you have on order back in the box.

I'm assuming it's those pegs that go in the hole at the top? Measure the hole size and see if you can find wooden dowels of the correct diameter. Or if they are a bit too big you can probably taper them a little with a sander or a file or something

Zip down to your local Do It Right or whatever and get some 3/4” dowel, cut it up. If it wants to fall through, drive a small screw into one side. I have a couple of those and another goon was working on his and yeah, the holes are just 3/4”.

I'd been asking about sliding miter saws a while back, but now I have new projects that are being done first! What about hand miter saws/miter boxes? I'm doing some relatively delicate trim work (11/16") and will probably be hand mitering the corner angles. Are there any better hand/manual miter saws than another? Stanley (and the Craftsman rebrand) comes up often, but it looks to be limited to the "preset" angle locks, going by the reviews. If there's anything better I should look for, I have a couple weeks until I'm ready to start the finishing work on this room.

Also a new 1.5 amp hour battery It'll be interesting to see what they price this at. Frequently, and right now, Milwaukee has the brushless drill/driver combo and 2 2Ah batteries for $200. The Ryobi kit would have to come in at least $50+ cheaper to make it worthwhile considering the bigger Milwaukee battery and better quality tool.

None of those really seem all that especially compact? Also they already offered brushless versions of most tools, some of which were significantly smaller than their cheap brushed counterparts, and have had HP+ batteries for several years. Seems like a pure marketing push.

Is there a reason I should get the 12 gallon version of this versus the 14 gallon if they are the same price? I'm thinking more power, more capacity would be better, but never hurts to ask people who know better, right? https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-...D1402/312452591

I'm thinking more power, more capacity would be better, but never hurts to ask people who know better, right? Does foot print matter? That would be only reason I can think of to get smaller one. FWIW I have the 16g version on my CNC and it does a great job. Except when I cut MDF, clogs up the filter quick.

I'm leaning towards the 12 gallon, but I'm suffering from a bad case of Tim Taylor syndrome right now. Especially since it's the same price. I wish I could go to a store and see the size difference in person, but they're only offering shipping to my house.

I certainly won't be using it but a few times a month if that? I don't know anything about shop vacs other than being told I should get one. I’m assuming the 14 gallon is just taller, but the same footprint. FWIW, I get way more mileage out of my 5 gallon shop vac than the 16 gallon craftsman monstrosity. By the time I haul it around and futz with hose and poo poo I could’ve just grabbed the smaller unit, carried it over, and be done. Same reason I’m looking at an 18v stick vac or dedicated dyson cordless. I’d just start there if I were starting over honestly. Speaking of 18v, the Makita subcompact line is pretty freaking great if you’re looking for small but powerful.

Well the 14 gallon is roughly 1.5in taller and 2in wider, I doubt you would notice a difference. If you want something more portable then look at the 5-8 gallon range.

Agreed, and I think the smaller diameter hose on the smaller units is easier to deal with for most tasks, particularly cleaning out a vehicle.

It was pretty hilarious to see him drag what seemed like a quarter mile of hose through the house to use a brad nailer on some trim upstairs. He has since added a pancake compressor so he's not doing that anymore, and not running all four horses to pump up his car tires.

It just doesn't refill itself so more ideal for small jobs.

Grinding wheel question... I‘d like to round off a thin concrete topper on some stairs I’m building. Basically going to mortar together a few of these, and wanted to put a rounded bevel on the tread facing end. I bought this grinding wheel to chuck in an angle grinder, but I was also looking at getting a diamond cup grinding wheel as well. This is where I’m curious, because the name brands like makita and dewalt charge 4-5x what the chinesium wheels cost, and I fully suspect you get exactly what you’re paying for here. Would anyone have any advice or recommendations? I’m not a heavy user, but I expect I’d probably like to putz with the wheel on some other concrete projects on down the line, such as a birdbath.

Dewalt and Makita both make well reviewed affordable diamond cups for concrete. I have a 7 inch dewalt cup for my Makita grinder but I am not gonna use it until the vacuum guard gets here.

They are only carcinogenic if you live in California. In all seriousness all bonded abrasive (read the data sheet on any of them and they all have same warnings) are bad to breath, not to mention what you are cutting/grinding. Just wear a proper mask. What you need to worry about with cheap wheels is them shattering and lodging chunks where you don't want.
