When I bought my oven the TAP controller was the same price as the original.... So more functionality for the same price I'm all in.... ymmv

Maybe try vacuuming up the dust instead?

Some snap ring pliers are slip jointed so as to be interchangeable between inside and outside snap rings. They will come apart easily. Years ago I used to play as a mechanic so I have a couple 3 sets in my tool box. Indispensable at times, other wise....? ymmv

Sounds positively monstrous, must be like 90 liters or so?

I have this Jet model from a number of years back, though I didn't pay anywhere near that price for it. It's a pretty good saw. Though I think some of the newer models are coming with carbide guides instead of roller bearings.

Very nice!

Here's a useful chart for sizing the pipe to wire gauge. If it's PVC hopefully they used at least 1 inch....

In my brief experience an 8 gauge 3-conductor copper wire extension cord for 30 amps @ 30-50 ft shouldn't be an issue, use 6 gauge for 50 amps or just for an extra safety margin! My 3 phase 2 hp grinder only pulls about 7 amps on startup and a bit less when just running, 8 gauge is fine...

Not a big fan of push knives but that is beautiful!

that'll buff right out!

Glad you are okay! Seems there are accidents waiting to happen most everywhere... A few years back I was uncoiling a band saw blade when it snapped open and tattooed a cool 18 TPI stitch across my nose. An inch higher and it would have been my eyes!

Well it's cool you got the grinder, gotta love that! Sorry you had the issues you've had, seems pretty much the norm with all the issues currently happening in our country. Hope it gets sorted soon!
