  1. There you go Jason, 1 down 3 more to go.

    Good thinking, I'd like to buy some junkers on the cheap & recone them or maybe buy some new ones from Bob's stock.

    Who is going to start the bidding for this fine example K-33 E woofer ?

  2. Nothing wrong buying precooked meat, you can munch on it on the way home.

    It is nice to have the option to cook it yourself i guess.

  3. Bruce,

    Is a change to a solid state HD worth it? I use a server, so I woudl only need a 128 GB HD (This allows a C drive for the OS & a D Drive to back up my important files on my server each night - about 40 - 50 gb).

    Solid State hard drives are awesome and worth the money if you have it to spare.

  4. The problem is the 59 degree cut, most saws only cut 45's.

    I would cut the 59 first, more chance to make a mistake, leave your panel wide in case you mess up so you're not wasting stock. The 31 degree cut is an easy one.

    There are saws that cut steeper angles but they may be more expensive.

    These worm drives last forever.

    If you cut 31 on the left side with a miter gauge, you get the 59 degree cut.

    Explain, I'm not following you here.

    I think what he means is if you flip the stock over so the back is up and run a 31 degree cut, when you flip it over you have a 59.

    OK i get it, running a cut like that freehand is asking for binding & kickback unless you make a jig for it.

    Not freehand. Use the fence for both cuts. You simply make a 31 degree cut and flip the board over and send it through again on the other side. Now you have a 31 on one side and 59 on the other.

    Once the blade has cut the the angle on the sheet there's nothing holding up the panel past the blade thus making it susceptible to binding not to mention keeping your cut straight.

    I see what you're saying but unless your sheet is attached to a jig of some sort its asking for trouble.

    It cab be done i guess but there have been better/safer alternatives mentioned.

  7. As long as the gauge of wire is heavy enough for the task i would not worry about it.

    Think of all the feet of 14 gauge solid copper wire running your homes circuits let alone whats feeding it.

    The last 6 feet or so you run from the outlet to your amp should make no difference.

    I wired a guys entire house in 12 gauge wire because he insisted on having it, this was to all the standard 15 amp standard circuit of course.

    Nothing wrong with going up one gauge of wire but it just was not needed. Im sure the man's refrigerator or microvave worked no better with it.
