It's possible that those holes are to install rollers that run within a track. Are the holes threaded? Are there any means to access the hole through the frame to use a spanner for a backup on a nut and bolt? Was any other hardware included in the packaging?

Where did you get the door from? Can't you ask the supplier to provide guidance or maybe try good old Google if you got it overseas.

[Chimera]

got it locally, planning to go to them tomorrow to find out
but when they sold me they insisted that the 28 inch door frame must be exact and straight because the door cant be modified, so with that i assumed a regular 28inch door frame with hinges install.....

didnt get any hardware except the handles,

google all sorta thing but not seeing anything like that door

[adnj]

^^ that looks like a pivoting hinge door.

[carluva]

True. I forgot about those types.

need to cut a rectangular hole in a mirror for a power socket

went a few glass places and they say i hadda get somewhere with a water jet machine

watching some videos on youtube where they using diamond tile disc, diamond circular bit etc

would a dremel with a diamond disc work?

test it on any glass bottle to determine how clean it cuts
also put some tape on the mirror where u cutting and cut on top the tape using it as a buffer to stop the glass from possibly having chips on the edges

Greetings all, can anyone tell me the customs duty on imported tools? I have looked at the calculator but I am not seeing anything on tools?

[adnj]

Tools are 0% duty.

[pugboy]

classic hardware balmain have it

[Ted_v2]

razorweld still gets my vote, reall compact.

[pugboy]

all them igbt inverter welders are very similar inside, I own 3 of them.

the sweet spot for their compact design is around 160amps 220v which is more than adequate for the average user.
any bigger requires a lot more circuitry and complexity based on the igbt transistors available today

if you go on aliexpress you will see many factories selling bare circuit boards so companies can design their own externals and branding.

[G-DUB]

Looking for a decent digital tire pressure gauge.
Anyone knows where has locally?

[adnj]

I'm looking for a dial gauge.

[Ted_v2]

i burn some 6013 2 days ago, today i used my mig. I eh able again. i going to sell it.

[Chimera]

anyone know if these type of induction motors/centrifugal pumps ( 3 phase) have any sort of value these days beyond their copper value?

found a bunch of them cleaning out a old stock room

[hindian]

You could possibly look into converting them into phase converters, 220v single phase input to 3 phase output current.

[Chimera]

where sells these type of magnetic bars locally?

[Joshie23]

i burn some 6013 2 days ago, today i used my mig. I eh able again. i going to sell it.

i have to clean some rust from my hub/spindle to install some new brakes soon.

i have a drill, but no grinder. Which one of those wire wheel scrubber things allyuh will recommend to clean the metal surface?

next thing: anitseize.
I seeing copper based, aluminium based and nickel based.....which is best for the hub to rotor surface?

[Dave]

I have a simple circular one that attaches to a drill to make the work quick and easy.
For the binding, I have always used a thin layer of heavy grease. Waterproof helps even better.
