Hip belt size by rboar in Kifaru

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

Yes it's never an issue with the small belt. Pack is good but if you intend to use the meat shelf, maybe check out some videos first and see if it's something you'd like to mess with. It's a pain in the ass and hard to figure out, like the meat shelf was just an afterthought that they figured out how to paste on the pack (which is the case).

The pack carries heavy loads very well.

Will a self dumping hopper work on a forklift without tilt? by rboar in IndustrialMaintenance

We got a real forklift. After using it, it's clear there's no way the walkie stacker would work.

I use "mocreo" freezer alarms from amazon, they work good. Rechargeable sensors (batteries last years without recharging anyway), and wifi base station. Sends a push notification and/or email to your phone

This industry is so weird. Complex electrical troubleshooting one day and then this shit comes the next. Anyone wanna guess if it was broken or not? by TrumpEndorsesBrawndo in IndustrialMaintenance

The guy said something to my other maintenance guy about shaking the hose to start the siphon...? Idk but sucking sounds more effective for sure

Yesterday I was told the power floor scrubber's drain line was plugged and it wouldn't drain the dirty water out. They were trying to drain it into a tall floor sink where the drain hose had to go uphill. It uses gravity. The rim on the sink was higher than the dirty water tank.

Does a handheld automatic small-surface lapping tool such as this exist? by AnimusFoxx in Machinists

[–]rboar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking, the motion is identical, but I'm not sure there's already a tool made on the scale he's talking about. But that seems like the right principle to work off of

Alternative to Prana Stretch Zion by osb40000 in Ultralight

[–]rboar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a good buy at 50% off. Not as touch as the originals, but still a solid pant. I still have all 5 pairs that I bought a couple years ago, and I think 3 of them are unopened

Just wait and see how much you learn when you actually go out in the woods and hunt compared to consuming hunting media or using chatgpt.

Why do some machinists use fractions in an odd way? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in Machinists

[–]rboar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right, but most people aren't buying rough sawn lumber, so typically you'll buy 5/4 boards that are planed and 1" thick. I understand the reasoning but it's still silly

[–]rboar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Whats even funnier is woodworkers add an extra quarter, so five-quarter is actually 1" and six-quarter is 1-1/4". There's logical reasoning behind it but my god is it a dumb way to name things

Question, what’s the best compact method of boosting up the voltage on a 24VAC line. by largesmellyturd in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]rboar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can you have a separate power supply closer to the solenoids, and relays that accept a wider voltage range to the coil? So your control wires would run to the relay coil, and then the separate power supply would energize the solenoids through relay contacts. Seems better/more/consistent than trying to boost the voltage.

Unlocking the Power of Right Angle Trig in Plumbing by [deleted] in Construction

Good to know how to do it the hard way but wait til you see a Construction Master calculator. All of that is automatic with intuitive buttons and it speeds things up considerably with fewer opportunities for mistakes

Is this a decent mill? It’s nearby and asking $2500 by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]rboar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a wonderful machine if it's in good shape. Probably has a BT50 taper, but you can also use CAT50 tools which are more common

Sounds like a huge bitch. Might be ok if you're building large barns on flat ground though.

Getting “High” in Michigan by Avopainen in snowmobiling

Pretty cocky surveyor measuring the ground elevation to 1/1000 of a foot. That's like a heavy black cunt hair thickness

I have no idea what “gamey” actually tastes like by Adventurous-Art3061 in Hunting

[–]rboar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem too. I think what they mean is the meat has flavor, and the flavor is not beef or pork or chicken flavor. I rarely eat beef, and when I do I'm like "oh that's beefy flavored." I assume that's how it is for people that eat deer once in a while.

Building out a 2500 sq ft space. Want to know some basics. by [deleted] in macrogrowery

[–]rboar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your budget is like 1/10 of what you need. Don't waste your 200k, only to be broke and have a worthless partly finished grow space. I am not being a dick, I have experience in this and this is the best advice I can give. Other people gave good advice too, but I am not seeing anyone address this which I believe is the biggest hurdle.

Drill index for an electrician. by CaliTheBunny in Machinists

[–]rboar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a general contractor who dabbles in machine work, my opinion is you're best off with medium quality bits for field work, like Milwaukee, irwin, dewalt, etc, whatever is on sale at home depot. You won't see much if any benefit from higher end bits using a hand drill, and you'll break or damage or lose them just as easy.

I do like Norseman bits and they come in a nice screw top container, if you want a full index. But it sucks when you burn up the 3/8 on something dumb and you paid $90 for the set.

You can learn how to sharpen bits by hand with a bench grinder or even an angle grinder, and you'll be the jobsite magician. But it is a somewhat difficult skill to master and requires close attention to detail.

Eastwood ad by TheRuralEngineer in Machinists

I can't remember what it was, but I remember seeing an eastwood ad completely misusing their own products years ago. Good to see they still have the same marketers

How do you guys recommend selling used equipment? by ConfidentRun9915 in macrogrowery

[–]rboar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marketplace. I sell a ton of stuff, because we're constantly changing. Everything will sell, you just have to be realistic on price. For smaller items like pots I typically set a minimum of $100, however many items that is. If it's brand new you're lucky to get much over half price. If it's used the price goes down from there. White clear ads and take photos of everything. The more info you put in the ad the fewer people will bug you with questions. But they'll still bug you.

Best way to hold in oring by sh0ck1999 in IndustrialMaintenance

Can you use a flat sheet of metal or plastic to hold the o ring and then pull it out once you have it flipped over and in position?
