I always had a mixed bag of chinese impact sockets and found a complete set of 1/2" in a packout on clearance last year at Home Depot for $99 bucks. Grabbed it and no longer spend hours searching for the right socket. Having a kit forces me to keep them all together. That, my digital torque...

I thought the computer and Alibre were for 3D printing 🤔.

I love my Hypertherm. Great warranty support when it had an issue. I have miles of cuts on it in my cnc table and also have a hand torch that swaps out in seconds.

That sucks. Wonder what he'll do when he finds out your running a machine shop in your basement 😲.

OSHA considers anything over 50 volts hazardous. So does NFPA but they only enforce over 100.

You have a backhoe, wouldn't it be easier to just put in a outside entrance to the basement? You are just getting started 🤔.

480 vdc from the panels in cold temps can kill 😲. Getting old has made me need reminders.

Only $2500 for the xp12000. The rest were what I started with for backups. $9k of batteries if I bought them all though. It's a fun learning experience and so far I have survived.

I took a couple pics in my solar backup power shed.

Maybe it should start with, building a 2500 pound capacity elevator 🤔. Or possibly end with a divorce 😬.

Mine just has a switch on it for fwd / rev and it works with my static converter.

I turned ours into a hitch carrier for my BX. Perfect size.

I think RWS has to go through the living room first with no elevator yet 🤔.

I'm more interested in a video about moving a Bridgeport down the stairs into the cellar 😲.

I have been running my Bridgeport on a static phase controller for 30 years without a problem but getting ready to switch to a VFD. For my CNC spindles I use Chinese VFDs. I switched to a single phase motor on my southbend lathe.
