Any affordable tool repair guys in the east?

I have a portable bandsaw that I table mounted.

Only used it a couple times. Today I was cutting some metal tube and the blade locked up and i started seeing sparks/smoke from the internals. It died right after.

Its a 1000dollar saw, so i'm weighing the options here.

What brand? May need a new armature if burnt.

I have a cheap harbor freight one also table mounted
The variable speed switch no longer works, only runs at full speed.

Most cars have a torque for wheels in the 100 ft-lb range. A friend bought new tires and it took about 250 ft-lbs to take his wheels off after about a month. I don't know what they used to install them.

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » April 27th, 2018, 7:28 pm

I torque all my lugs plus my customers. I doh play with that.

Chimera · Postby **Chimera** » April 30th, 2018, 8:25 am

that m12 impact is a nice little tool

driving in screws much easier and better than my 2016 m18 drill

very light and easy to use one handed

SSL have the midtorque Milwaukee for just over 2500$ .
wanna grab up one by early next month so.

I will have a bnib Craftsman 1/2" impact wrench for sale in about one month's time. Comes with the battery and multi-chemistry charger pictured below. See link for specs. 300 ft/lbs of torque. Handles axle nuts and all suspension bolts with ease. I have had one for about 3 years myself. Just bought it in a combo deal with other tools to add to my C3 collection so I won't need it. Will make a FS post when I get it in hand but estimated price should be <$2000.

Go check Francis Lau construction in Frederick settlement, you can get a piece of almost any size and thickness, or even pieces of beam or any type of steel used in construction.

I have built crude DIY 'lathes' in the past to build custom bushes to mount radiators etc.. Like this for example:

[img]https://scontent-mia1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/12002040_10153490596076084_2357595924144119224_n.jpg?oh=abf4a2eeabda1753ecf3c464b845fec7&oe=56E7D536[/img]

Amazon also has a small hobby lathe, cheap design using a drill and a small frame to hold it:

Grizzly H2669 Hobby Lathe/Disc Sander
Price: $88.61

I understand the side load and excessive run out issues, but I am stubborn too bad, have strong faith in my Milwaukee and would use it for mostly bushing making, so i figure it is worth a gamble.. (in the future, if this shows decent potential, I could always bearing mount the chuck to reduce runout, and create a dampered drive system powered by the drill..)

I will continue researching chucks and update on how this works out.

Ever bought one since this post?

Chimera · Postby **Chimera** » May 5th, 2018, 5:03 am

NR8 · Postby **NR8** » May 5th, 2018, 5:00 pm
