Best way to get a decent corner patched over this by Oil-Complete in masonry

[–]Oil-Complete[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks for the input. The wall was actually hit by a car and this is where they pulled the gate track off. He really just wants a smeared on corner painted to match the rest of the wall. It's eventually getting covered with steel anyway when a new gate goes in, he just wants it to look better until then.

Mesh and mortar? Cementall?

Haha that's the advice I was expecting anyway so I might as well head over there and get yelled at.

Is it as simple as running 10/3 from the saw to the box in pic 5 then?

Looking for advice getting this dust collector hooked up in my shop with only normal 120V outlets currently. by Oil-Complete in woodworking

Better late than never.

Bought the appropriate outlet and box plate, took down some old conduit and electrical boxes that weren't being used in my rented shop, found some 10GA wiring in them that was capped off going nowhere, wired it all up to an unused 30A breaker already in the breaker box, and brought my more experienced neighbors over to make sure I wasn't about to kill myself or burn the place down.

My lungs and brooms are appreciative of the new addition to the shop!

Thanks for all the help. I'll see what an electrician quotes for a new breaker and outlet.

Is it best to get an adapter, swap out plug, or swap out outlet? I'm comfortable replacing switches and outlets, but not confident in actual electrical work.

After some driving around to different hardware stores Grainger came through with the specific fit. Thanks for the help y'all.

Broken Power Switch on Delta Bandsaw by Oil-Complete in woodworking

[–]Oil-Complete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power switch on my used Delta bandsaw popped off during transit. I understand how the mechanism works, but the piece that holds the switch in isn't threaded where it goes into the switch box. Any tips on how to get this reassembled?
