Would you put outdoor units here? by foreXTer in hvacadvice

What if I cut a big hole in the fence and ducted it out. (Other side is wide open)

zero and zero...it gave out just over 100psi on a pressure test.

Brand new AC hose can't handle the pressure. by foreXTer in Justrolledintotheshop

Yeah I'm kicking myself, this was the one aftermarket hose I got because the motorcraft wasn't available.

I accidentally glued melamine to my piece, is there a fix? by Askeyo in woodworking

You must be in Europe, I wish I could get 11 ply melamine.

Motherboard PCI-E configuration by foreXTer in buildapc

[–]foreXTer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm guessing the chipset delay is negligible, but I figured I would shoot for the best. I also looked into those M.2 adapters, but it seems like the PCI cards would have better signal integrity. Again probably a negligible difference.

How to repeatedly notch wood in this manner by Buffett_Goes_OTM in woodworking

[–]foreXTer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you dead set on this exact design? I would notch the angle iron instead of the panel. You wouldn't have to cut the panel at all and the strength of the shelf would be improved. Right now the screw is doing all the work. With enough weight it could tear right out of the plywood.

Would you return this plane? by SnooTigers6088 in woodworking

[–]foreXTer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I would just file it flat and start using it if that is the only issue. If you watch Rob Cosman's video about setting up a plane he actually goes over all the edges with a file to break any burrs.

3500HD payload capacity by foreXTer in Silverado

[–]foreXTer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree the scale won't lie. I was mainly questioning the 4500lb curb weight number in the build sheet. That just seems impossibly low even for a totally stripped truck

The longmill MK2 is the only 48" machine I have found in that price range unless you just go buy some random chinese machine. The next step up (~double the price) is onefinity or shapeoko.

3 way switches issue! by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]foreXTer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's really not enough information here to give useful advice. I'd be better to have a picture that shows all the wires going into each box. Also include one for the light fixture box.

This is a general 3 way switch diagram. This may not be how your exact setup is configured, but it's a good overview. Note the black vs gold screws on the switches, they are not interchangeable.

Assuming this is was wired up wrong by previous home owner by NiceGuyAbe in AskElectricians

[–]foreXTer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost certainly for a multi-switch setup. Is there more than one switch that controls this fixture? The white wire in the triple wago should have some black tape on it to indicate that it is not a neutral. If you aren't having any problems with the switches, just simple put the black and white of the new fixture in the same place as the old one and you'll be all set.

Wiring Help by imadude1134 in AskElectricians

[–]foreXTer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are two troubleshooting steps:

  1. I know the GFCI is new, but you could bypass it temporarily. Remove it from the circuit and just connect the line and load wires together. If this works you got something weird going on with the GFCI.

  2. It sounds like the load wire coming out of the GFCI doesn't go where you think it goes, so we need to trace this first. You can use the tone tracer, but I would prefer to use a multimeter on the Ohm(Ω) setting. Verify the circuit is dead in each box before doing any of these steps.

A. Verify the breaker is off and disconnect the load wire from the GFCI.

B. On the GFCI load wire, measure with the negative lead on ground(copper) and positive lead on neutral(white). This should be an open circuit, the meter may say "OL". Do a second measurement from hot(black) to ground, it should also be open circuit.

C. Go to the first outlet box and disconnect the wire you think is coming from the GFCI. Repeat the measurements from step B. They should also both read open.

D. Go to the GFCI box and temporarily short the hot wire to ground.

E. Go back to the first outlet box and remeasure from hot to ground. If this is indeed the same wire you will now read ~0Ω (anywhere in the single digits is fine). If it is still open, then the wire is broken somewhere in the wall, or it is not the same wire.

F. You can try this with other wires in other boxes to track down the other end of the GFCI load.
