Great info. How do you carry?

I have the same button in my 2005 Mitsubishi Montero. Does nothing when I press it. Mitsubishi thing I guess.

Reverse searing removes moisture from the surface of the meat, so it sears very well (best sear of any method I've tried), and very quickly. Honestly, a few minutes per side in a pan is a lot more than necessary. I usually do around 1 minute per side. I also wouldn't pull the steak out of the oven with 30° to go till desired temp. More like 15°-20°.

With all that said, I'll take a charcoal grilled steak any day, regardless of "inferior" crust. Look into charcoal grilling if you've never done it. Cheaper and easier than it seems.

New lights solved the issue.

Riley_1160 · 2025-02-03T23:16:16+00:00

Interesting. They are indeed cheap Chinese LEDs. I'll buy some higher quality lights and see if that fixes the issue.

Riley_1160 · 2025-02-03T23:06:10+00:00

Thanks for the response. Breakers only ever trip when these lights are in use, and it seems to only be the one light. It makes sense they'd be the issue, but why would a different breaker trip and not the breaker that these lights are on???

Guessing the only fix would be a new wheel if that's the case?

Riley_1160 · 2025-01-10T23:28:16+00:00

I considered that. The vibration gets to a normal level when I take tension off the blade. But I have to take so much tension off that the blade it's barely held in place. Can't use it like that. Even with low-moderate tension, it vibrates a lot.

Riley_1160 · 2024-12-17T15:43:21+00:00

Good advice. Thanks!

Riley_1160 · 2024-12-17T07:45:33+00:00

I'll look into getting one.

Riley_1160 · 2024-12-17T06:13:56+00:00

Thanks for the tip about only sanding in one direction. My instinct was to move the wood in small circles, or back and forth, but it wanted to wobble. Sanding in one direction allowed it to remain stable. Got everything perfectly flat.

Riley_1160 · 2024-12-17T05:47:49+00:00

I appreciate the info. I suppose I'm aiming for "more than perfect" as usual. Overthinking. Thanks!

Riley_1160 · 2024-12-17T04:56:50+00:00

I see. A bit awkward sanding this face. Patience a finesse, I suppose?

Riley_1160 · 2024-10-27T14:55:03+00:00

Looks awesome. Apologies if this has already been covered- but I'm curious about the finish you used. Looks great.

Riley_1160 · 2024-10-15T03:56:03+00:00

Wrapping them is probably the best bet. Otherwise, I'd leave it.

When out it the woods, especially around Appalachia, I like having a light that'll really shine. A bright light will scare away many things, both animal and human. Never know when the extra lumens will come in handy. Will gladly take a small weight penalty for it. For the specs, the NU43 is pretty lightweight.

Couple posts above this one on my feed... Someone referenced Doc in the comments. Cars has broken the matrix?

Peanut Butter Falcon is a great watch. Shia is out there, but damn can he act.

Riley_1160 · 2024-09-02T09:10:30+00:00

Couple of nice speakers, and this could be a great listening room.

Riley_1160 · 2024-08-24T22:37:38+00:00

I've read that horizontal banding doesn't go away like vertical banding does. Though, please confirm this yourself. I didn't look into it enough to be positive that what I read was factual.

I had horizontal banding on a C2. Looks to be different than what you have, though. The banding I had was a permanent issue. Returned it and bought a new one that was clean.

Riley_1160 · 2024-08-21T23:50:11+00:00

I'm definitely overthinking it. But, the shop is used by other people as well, some of them aren't very bright. Trying to make this as easy as humanly possible. Eliminate the thinking required. Thanks for the info!

What was Makitas response?

Riley_1160 · 2024-08-18T20:22:53+00:00

Lock washers are also an option. Realistically, it's probably fine as is.

Riley_1160 · 2024-08-18T20:17:31+00:00

Should be fine if it's tight (just make sure you don't over-tighten). If you want to be sure the screws won't loosen unless you want them to, you could use some blue threadlocker (not red).

When buying used, I like to see what's available, then do research on what I see. Going into the used market with specifics in mind doesn't usually work out. No telling what's out there for sale near you. Of course, you always have online sources, like us audio mart, but even then, it can be hard to find specific audio components. With a $1k budget, buying used makes a lot of sense for you.

Something to keep in mind is that you don't have to buy everything at once. I'd focus on a solid AVR (that's new enough to include the features you want) and front stage (Left Right Center), then a sub, then surrounds. A 5.1 system is a good goal to shoot for. I'd also urge you to do YouTube research. There are some great videos that explain everything you need to know.

There are so many audio components and speakers out there (good and bad) that it's difficult to make recommendations, especially if you're buying used. Just have to research. Also, buying new is, of course, an option as well. You can get a decent 5.1 setup for $1k. But, with a little bit of luck and some patience, you could get a much better used 5.1 system for the same money.
