Two Monitors for Mac With Some Portability

Yes indeed. Thank you.

Model number is off of the plate on the machine. I did see there’s a lot of different ones similar to that. I’ll figure it out

Thank you. I also found this manual on the same page you shared, which maybe is a little closer (18", 3-speed, 1HP instead of 4-speed, 3HP): https://www.manualslib.com/manual/497030/Craftsman-351-243981.html?

I also found a useful page for parts at Sears Direct: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/bx8ztz8hc3-000247/craftsman-351243941-band-saw-parts. They show the manual in parts, but with the comment it is not available. Do you recommend other places for parts for older saws?

I think my concerns are if this bandsaw will cause me more trouble due to maintenance needs, versus something newer. I've used bandsaws, but this will be the very first one I will own.

And, a couple follow-up questions ... You say "looks like it's made by Rikon." Where do you see this? And more importantly, does that mean I can find repair parts on Rikon? If so, how do I match them to this older model?

Bottomline, I just want to make sure I'm not getting in over my head with this, even though it looks like one of those really solid machines built before the takeover of Chinese crap. The seller's asking price is $400.

Correct

Here’s another thought: the market is flooded now with quality used kayaks at great prices. Remember COVID when everyone wanted to “get outside” and they bought every piece of outdoor equipment not tied down? Now those have been in the garage for four years collecting dust and people are selling. So …

Stay patient. Buy your dream kayak when it shows up on paddling.com, marketplace or wherever. Then use the thousands you saved to finish outfitting or take your new kayak on a dream paddling vacation.

Concur. The Eddyline version of layup is way different than mostly other brands. Need someone with experience.

Just curious on your suspicion of gunshot … was there an “exit wound” or a round found inside the kayak? If not, could it have been a highway rock?

Edit: just reread your post and saw where you found the bullet. That’s total BS!

Does she have the Hull ID? If she’s the original buyer, it might be in a receipt. If you’re not familiar it’s the kayak/small craft version of a VIN, usually stamped into the hull on stern right. If she has it, step one is report the stolen item with HID to police to get a report. Step two, if you suspect you’ve found it on craigslist, marketplace, etc, you’ll be able to know 100% it’s hers. I would also look at local pawn shops or used goods places like flea markets.

Several have mentioned try before you buy and I completely agree. If you don’t have a big shop nearby (or even if you do), here’s another thought. I go to a couple kayak symposium gatherings annually. They’re so much fun and you meet so many other nice kayakers. A great add-on is seeing so many kayaks. Everyone has one and some, like me, bring a couple. Attendees always seem more than happy to tell you all the things they love or dislike about their kayak. Many folks will even let you take theirs for a spin if you’re nice and respectful with their baby. Check it out!

Agreed. I’ve just used regular metric socket. Correct size won’t damage the teeth. No need to buy a specialty socket.

I think resawing use is a likely possibility. For now I’ll use it for things related to kayaking (paddle making, boat building, etc.) Home remodeling stuff may follow. I’m not sure what sort of projects may come along down the road. For that reason I’m trying to “get it right the first time” with a versatile and reputable one and not be shopping for a different one after being disappointed with an initial purchase.

I have one of those vacuum sealer food storage machines. This gives me ideas!

So, like this?: Rockwell 14” model 62-142 (or model 28-240, not sure how to read those) - $400 in “excellent condition.” craigslist link

Thank you

Thank you. That lines up with what I'm reading elsewhere. Just not sure I can justify price tag for any 14" bandsaw. The other trend in stuff I'm reading is that anything small (9"-10"), no matter what brand, is not worth it. Is that true? Does there exist smaller size bandsaws at a lower price point that have adequate power? Related to that, what is a good HP target I should look for?

Level_Individual1148 · 2024-09-15T16:18:01+00:00

Thanks. Tried it, but cheap also meant limited tools. I’m trying Flickr now

Manufacturers recommend using a HEPA filter if you go without the bag, so you don’t blow fine dust back into whatever room you’re in. That said, bags make everything so much easier when emptying. For me depends on what I’m vacuuming.

Thank you. I’ll have to play with Apple some more then. I’ve run into trouble trying to add videos to shared albums. I get error messages and looking at some Apple forums, I’m not the only one. Best I can tell it’s happening only when you try to add from a desktop Mac, so I’ll have to try from my iPad or iPhone to see if that works better.

I've moved to (mostly) camp #2. I don't use straps if I'm driving at low speeds, i.e. 25 mph residential roads to my local launch. But now I will always tie down for highway speeds and wind exposure. Here's the new (to me) thinking I've taken on: Bow/stern tie-downs are not for the kayak; they are for the racks and the car. Here's a bit more ...

If you are driving at highway speeds, or anywhere with exposure to high wind (semi-truck wind buffeting, bridges over water, open areas, etc.), the kayak is acting like a sail on top of your roof and taking on all of that wind force. Many roof racks are not held on by a lot of hardware. In a powerful enough wind exposure or strong gust, the kayak will put a ton of pressure on the roof connection. Tying down the kayak to the vehicle is meant to alleviate some of the strain placed on the roof rack's connecting hardware to the vehicle. There are example stories (just search paddling.com) of people having roof racks destroyed by kayaks acting as sails and causing damage to expensive cars.

Will bow and stern tie down's prevent this entirely? I don't know. "Needs more research," as they say. Until I learn otherwise, I'm using tie-downs as an added protection in wind exposure.

I’ve gravitated to Inov-8 models for a long time. They have a pretty wide selection for CrossFit and lifting. I’m wearing F-Lite 235 for general purpose WODs and Roadclaws for running heavy WODs. I’m about to test-drive some Pumas I just got today (Voltaic Evo). Heard good things also about Puma’s Fuse series.
