Turns out i have a few extra labels/latches
Now that i can make anyone i want no reason to keep extras around,
If anyone wants any of these let me know and ill send them to you, No Charge
The ones with 4 prongs fit any cases with 4 prongs, same with the 5 prong ones
the 3/8 socket one fits any of the 2 or 3 drawer cases
the wrenches are for the small low profile cases

I am working on a bio tech lab project again, and every finish subcontractor employee seems to have a ridiculous amount of these pack out kits being towed behind them. Dan I hope you finagled a way in to getting a cut on pack out sales :cool:

Also, get that mini mill on a firm bench and bolt everything down…bench to the floor and mill to the bench. It’ll be a lot nicer to use.

Then you can take your 3D printer and print a hanger for a nice set of digital calipers.

What you don’t think sitting on a Milwaukee packout stack is secure ?
Maybe if I get serious about using it but right now I don’t have much space so being mobile is a benefit
I was expecting to get shit from someone for having a 250 pound mil on a pack out table rated for 50 pounds
Don’t need to to carried away with calipers, what I have works pretty well for my limited capabilities

It’ll be a different machine all together. I had mine on a toolbox in initially, was a horrible piece of shit. After I solid mounted it, it was a usable horrible piece of shit.


Meh, sell it and a buy Bridgeport clone.

Then you need a lathe, and a bandsaw (3 bandsaws actually…verticals and horizontal…and a fast one for wood) at the very least. Then a big rotary table for the mill, lol

Do you have a plasma cutter yet? Those are cool because then you get to buy a big air compressor, and then upgrade the panel on the house and install a 100A subpanel for the garage….so now that you’ve got power, you can buy a bigger welder…then get a phase converter and buy a bigger mill and lathe that run on 3 phase, and….

Actually a lathe is one thing i have zero desire to have. Not sure why but don't want one,
Got the bandsaw covered, its portable or on the table with one screw, I almost bought a bigger one the other day but the guy didn't accept my offer.
Sold my big air compressor few months ago, ( before i knew i was moving into the barn) If i get a plasma cutter it will be one with built in air. I need to learn to weld before i worry about cutting shit up

Recently was looking for an angle grinder. None of them come with a battery. I looked at batteries and saw they were around $250.
Decided I could buy extension cords for the price Of a battery, and for as often as I need one, it will be charged when Im ready to use it😂

Where the hell are you shopping?
Just buying one tool its hard to justify battery tools from any maker, once your using different ones it isn't so bad, i also buy tools off of FB and such, or look at sales, which can drop the price in half, but never buy batteries off FB or Ebay lots of fake ones out there

I have one of those swag tables and they make it so much nicer. The porta band blades are cheap compared to the big band saw blades..

Yeah F that, go with this

I am deep into M12, a deal like this started my M18 slide. I'm afraid I'll be off the deep shortly.
