What, in practice, is the difference between this pan connector with fins: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p16142 this one without: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p19642 and this one that's twice as expensive?

Electric meter advise

The shop is seperated from the workshop by a six foot wall The 100a fuse is there for the workshop but meter was removed when shop refitted, as workshop had collapsed roof at time As far as i know the shop just had a meter upgrade from dial type to digital.

Careful, it's heavy!

The most sensible idea is to have all the sizes true and comparable, then I can simply buy something from any shop the same size (or one bigger) than a label on something I have at home.

Small Shop - will it work . . .

I have about twice the machines in a 16 x 24 dedicated shop. Have been getting along with that for 15 years. However, planning a move and the next shop will be 25' x 40'. SWMBO and I have struck a deal now that the kids are gone. New house will be 1/3 smaller.

Power thickness planer choices

Bill, Shop Fox is owned by Grizzly Industrial. Shop Fox products are white-painted Grizzlies which are offered through dealers (rather than through mail order). That being said, they are typically good products, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Shop Fox over a Delta.

Let's talk lighting

Awhile back I saw some threads talking about the ideal shop lighting setups. I saved some messages that really summarized the bulb types and hardware. Since then my system crashed and I have lost my newsreader.

Do Pella outlets compete with each other?

Hi, I got a quote from a Pella shop and I'm contemplating taking it to another Pella shop to see if they would beat it. Does anybody know whether this could be fruitful. Thanks, Aaron

Where to install air compressor?

Another pointer is to wire your air compressor through a relay controlled by your shop light switch, then you never have to remember to turn the compressor off when you finish in the shop. RJ
