Yesiree, I'm feeling the bond.

Great comment. I did not see that the Parkworld device was not UL approved. Looking at the company's website, curiously, other wired-type pig tail converters seem to be UL approved, but not the molded puck style that I purchased. I'm not sure what to make of that. With a bit more searching...

X10, worse thing ever...IMHO

Well said John, you nailed it.

In my opinion, yes. I connect a number of 240v, 20 and 30 amp pieces of equipment to my 50 amp circuit. BUT not at the same time, just one at a time. As long as the connected load(s) does not exceed the breaker & wire sizing for that circuit (in my case 50 amps) then there should be no...

I just went through this exact problem with my new Paragon HT oven. Paragon says that the warranty is void if I change the plug end. My shop also has a 6-50R outlet I use for my welders. Paragon says that it is OK to plug the 30 amp plug into the 50 amp circuit. I also do that with a number...

More ideas for your consideration. The valving is standard except for the yellow ball valve that, when closed, directs the inlet gas to a needle valve that can more accurately control the gas flow. While each burner is controlled with a ball valve, the down side to this plumbing arrangement is...

He's kinda the Ed Caffrey of machine tools and precision metal working, one the icons of that YouTube subject.

What do you'all think of this kind of sharpener? https://www.opticsplanet.com/fallkniven-d12pro-diamond-steel-whetstone.html

Did you use any kind of filler in the porous portion of the antler?

That's a nifty oven, looks like the max temp and % tolerance would be good. Only downside I see is price, and it's apparently from China. The owners manual may take a bit of interpreting.

OPaul, nice looking knife. Just curious, what's the width of the handle?

That's correct. And then disconnect the wires going to the oven's temperature sensor and connect new wires to the heating elements, those new wires plug into the back of the controller I mentioned. The PID controller then takes over energizing the heating coils.

One note programming a PID controller for an oven - it can be a challenge getting the settings right for a oven's unique heat loss. Fortunately some PIDs have a self programming feature that helps a lot with the set up.

I wouldn't rely on standard oven temperature controllers. Tempering temperatures need to be held to much closer tolerances than conventional oven controllers offer. I converted an old pawn shop table top oven & added a general use, PID controller (plug&play) from Aubers...

LOL, same here!

Thanks guys, good selection.

Do you all have any knife sharpener recommendations for a non-knifemaker, to be used mostly for kitchen knives?

Huh, didn't know RS sold enchant, thanks.

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing.
