1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I had their chop saw/upright saw stand for my Milwaukee deepcut bandsaw. Its cool, kinda awkward on a cordless one. A corded bandsaw would be a better option because you can get the foot pedal.

 

Same here but then there's that random Jet that's only asking $50 or a nice Ellis for only $1k (fucking missed out on that one)

I was also looking for a drill press like you, but man I would've had no help getting one of those large setups to my house so I got a small one

What drill press did you get

 

Im on the lookout for a cheap horizontal band saw. I already have multiple drill presses and a upright band saw.

 

Damn, sold my spare for $200 a couple months ago. Didn't make sense to have two when I hardly use the one now that the Evo is around.

 

Tell me you wear hearing protection...

 

Yeah theres one jet but its $850

Its an older blue Ryobi 10". It was cheap and ran smooth, thats about all I know about it. The same guy also had an old 1979 Duracraft drill press he wanted to get rid of, was pretty cool and probably higher quality than the one I chose. Thing shook bad though, didn't really want to open that can of worms

 

Measure the runout on that thing, and if it's pretty bad (and everything is tight) you can opt for a replacement chuck

It's what I did on mine and it's way better than what it came with

 

One cut here or there... Not usually although a good portion of the time I have my headphones in if I'm in the shop alone. If there's a whole bunch of stuff I'm cutting for a project then yeah I have some muffs on

 

Hearing protection, but with safety squints

 

Whatever it is its gotta be better than me with a hand drill, +/- 1/4" at best lol

 

Yeah one cut I'll do without, but that's the limit

Fuckers cut clean and square but holy shit they're loud

 

You should just go pick up a Hydmech

 

Idk why @BartMaster1234 needs that fancy camera to stream sports games when a iphone is better

 

Might as well just pick up a 5 axis continuous Protolabs CNC machine

Rather than cut to length, I can mill out to exact dimensions from large stock

 

My friend (a Subaru enthusiast) has a theory that all turbo Subaru owners are exactly the same, in the worst way possible.

Recent evidence:

- A woman selling an EJ25 long block that "ran when it was pulled but we decided to go a different direction" alongside a turbo that needed to be rebuilt because it seized. Seized turbo means bearing glitter in the oil, which means galled cam journals if not addressed immediately. The woman confirmed that the turbo was previously mated to the long block, but when asked about the cam journals, she stopped responding. The listing was deleted (presumably after the engine sold) so he wasn't able to leave a review; she still has a 5-star seller rating.
- An Outback XT that had a crack in an exterior trim piece poorly photoshopped over in a close-up picture (but still visible in other pictures: https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/usaf-academy-2005-subaru-outback-xt/7818594621.html).
- A WRX mislabled as an STI, with acknowledgement that the engine failed buried as deep as possible in the listing (https://santafe.craigslist.org/cto/d/el-prado-2004-subaru-wrx-sti/7818131295.html)

 

I'm more of a HAAS guy personally

 

Oooh man

Since I have my business license, metal is cheaper

 

THATS WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR A 4x8 !!!!!!!
wtf steel is literally double that here

all my CA KY math must change

 

ok not literally... ~$260 for a 4x8 after tax
