You're OK then...those don't slide easy enough to come open while you are driving... Hmm, dunno if'n I'd be giving your neighbors a nice work van tool inventory pic on da internets like this...jus sayin...
My neighbor works for the same company anybody that breaks in dat van will be immortalized by my cameras and they know it.. Not to mention the alarm. I’m not the only house with camera either it’s all but stopped the crime around here...
They slide like crap not even ball bearing glides lol. I’m gonna destroy this poor box in short order most likely but I have faith it will last Faith overrules build quality right
Gonna get ugly around here tonight. Talked to a few neighbors and their furnaces couldn't keep up last night. Gonna be even colder and more wind tonight. I expect a lot of people will have issues with pipes freezing too. Negative teens is as cold as it gets here and houses and heating systems aren't built for it. Water main burst a couple towns over...probably just the start. My house is nice and toasty and my pipes are in the basement with muh wood stove. We'll be just fine.
I’m under no illusions That box sat in my garage un used for 3 years now. I’m hoping to use it till I save up for a nice side cabinet to replace it. They make some nice ones for service vans but man are they pricey... A few of our guys have better boxes and use them with good success
So I buy myself a 12" sliding miter saw complete with carbide blade for Christmas last Tuesday...so I set it up on Wednesday and start using it...work for about 1/2 hour when I hear a peculiar "zing" sound on one cut...next cut was slow and smoky...dang it, what did I hit?! I go and grab the piece that made the funny sound...stinkin little rock grown right into the wood...and I hit it dead center! Anybody know how to sharpen 12" carbide circular saw blades?! I suppose it will cost more to sharpen than to replace...if anybody around here even does that anymore... Kinda like machining brake rotors...thing of the past
It depends on the blade quality.... I use Forrest blades in my wood shop and send them to Forrest for sharpening it’s about $17 a blade to get it sharpened. They are woodworker 2 blades. I’ve sent other blades in and it was still cheaper but the blades had such small teeth to begin with that they didn’t balance right after sharpening. If it’s Diablo or similar quality you can defiantly get them sharpened but the shop doing it may need to weld on new teeth after a rock hit.
Wonder if I could rig the electric chain saw sharpener to do something like that? Hmmm...probably should just suck it up and get a new one...only $20-$25 each on fleabay...just pizzes me off though...just like rocking a new chain!
