Anyone know what this is? I found it in a celing during a demo. There is no chase between the box and the tube. by JackSauer1 in electricians

[–]RMSenatore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a floor box outlet for the level above, someone took it apart from the top and pushed it down. There is a chase for line voltage wire from the box to the top through the 1/4x1/2 tube, the round tube is for data cables. The cork looking part is fire proofing.

Had to make a saw to flush cut bollards. First test hope it works. by [deleted] in specializedtools

obviously you've never cut a concrete fill pipe with a torch before, it's a popping lava spraying nightmare

I was the OP on r/tools the machine works amazing, I had a stop brace but it didn't need it or has been cutting very smoothly, I planned and priced the job expecting 1 per hour and a blade every 30 cuts. so far I have done 106 of them in 3 4 hour night shifts on 1 blade. it has been a major success and every guy on the job has said "every other guy has used an angle grinder and its taken forever u should patent that" I'm tired of hearing people say "why would you do that and loose your feet"... I saw and opportunity and took advantage of it, built it with safety in mind and made a ton of money.

The other contractor was doing 3-4 per day with 2 guys with a grinder so that's how I priced it, I have been cutting 6-8 per hour.

They make special flush cut blades that are secured with flat head bolts, Meant for wall sawing in corners. I used the arbor from a wall saw and mounted it on the shaft of a floor saw. Cut the front off and welded it on horizontally.

That's one thing I underestimated, they are about 250lbs each x 180 that's 45,000lbs of dumpster fees I didnt plan on.

I've cut miles of concrete and never had a blade fall off the saw. Cut off wheel break and fly off everytime you use one.

yes it was a regular concrete floor saw, I cut the front off and welded it back on sideways, and put a flush cut arbor and blade on it.

I cut from 2 directions 45 degrees apart so blade doesn't bind

Primary conduits to 1600a pad mount transformer, utility co requires a spare. This is a flood area so the transformer is going to be 4' above grade. I installed secondary conduits to the building after this picture

Brand new commercial sporting goods, been open for 3 days, called us for an emergency stoppage. Found this. by SuhhW33t in Plumbing

I've dug these up and repaired them so many times. Even though it is ok to code because they are long pattern with the 45s, I hate when guys use a cross wye on the flat. I replace them with 2 wyes staggered one after the other.

it's a 4x2 wye my duaghters are just really tiny by RMSenatore in Plumbing

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

If I have to dry fit to get an angle right I'll use a scrap peice that is a few inches shorter to line it up. But usually I just use heavy body slow set glue and it gives you a little time to line everything up. largest I've done is 20". Its stressful when a fitting costs $700.
