>And objectively, a bandsaw is the better tool for that job

not sure what kind of zipcuts youre used to but the ones i use make a cleaner cut than a bandsaw. not to mention you cant put a wire wheel on a bandsaw, or a flapdisk, or a horsecock, or a grinding stone....

why recommend him a one trick pony when he could buy + get proficient at an angle grinder?

how do you profile a knife with a bandsaw? whats a bandsaw good for other than cutting out a blank? your argument is fucking pants on head tier.

>I dont need to work harder to move the material I want.

fucking what? how do you use your verticle bandsaw if you dont move your material? and apparently its easier to put metal in your bandsaw than it is to put your work in a vice? what the fuck your arguments dont even make sense, im convinced youre talking out your asshole

>And what exactly do you think that affords you? For everyone to clap for your opinion, even when its wrong?

not at all, the exact opposite. i was hoping for an actual argument, im not sure what youre doing but you arent doing a very good job of explaining why a bandsaw is a better, more versatile tool than an angle grinder

>I mean if I were poor and the only thing I could afford was a 10$ harbor freight grinder, its a great versatile tool.

so according to you just because a tool costs more and lots of "backyard knife makers" think its good, means its a better tool? i do this kind of shit at work and at home, i can form my own on the tools and processes used, a full time banker part time backyard knife maker hobbyist thats scared of an angle grinder would have a hard time convincing me otherwise

>Again, im still baffled the faggot named Milwaukee doesnt own and use a Portaband.

i dont because im not an amatuer that pretends to know what hes talking about when hes clearly out of his element.

by the way, you still havent told me what kind of "metalworker" you are, nor have you showed me any of your work.

I've got two prusa mk2's (one pre ugrade, and one post upgrade) and an Ender 3.

If I had a thousand bucks to spend on a brand new 3d printer and it was going to be my first, and I was willing to assemble, I'd buy another Prusa mk2, or pony up for a mk3 if your budget permits.

The cheap printers coming out of china can produce very very impressive results, and comparing the cost of something like an Ender 4 and a Prusa mk2, the Ender seems like a no brainer.

But imho after you've had the machine for a year or so its not going to matter how great your print quality is anymore, you'll have achieved near perfect results by them and the machine will just be another part of your arsenal. the reliability and trustworthyness of your machine is going to be a bigger factor. I trust the Prusa more so its going to be my go-to printer almost every time.

Even if your chinky printer prints great and never has issues, do you trust that thing not to burn down your house while you sleep, or while you're at work? some prints can take hundreds of hours, I've personally ran a few 50 hours prints and an 83. you can't watch the machine for that amount of time, you have to trust it.

it makes them really fucking likely to be a furry. never gotten in to the fandom myself because of the overwelming amount of faggots but i can assure you i'd be posting my totally cool pony OC if i wouldn't get banned for it

Track saws are a one trick pony for sheet goods. They're at the mercy of a reference edge.

Ahh yeah I thought so, just wanted to make sure, hah. Anyways, if spraying and waiting STILL isn't doing you any good, you can try a faucet handle puller. I use the one in pic related and it always works without fail. If there's enough space to get the arms under the base of that handle you should be able to grab onto it, tighten down, and pull it off. It's kind of a one-trick-pony type of tool, so if you're trying to do without it i'd recommend getting something between the handle and the collar it butts up against (like a flathead screwdriver) and gently twisting to force them apart.

Also never heard of Goof Off being used in any way like that. But if nothing else is working for you it may be worth a shot. Anyways, that's all I got, good luck!

"20% cooler" is somehow related to my little pony

Hey, /diy/! So I have finally been able to purchase a piece of property with a structure that can be called a home, with a bit of work. It's in a small rural town in Arkansas, approximately 5 acres and a 3 bedroom house with a garage that's been converted to an apartment. It's near a school and I was able to buy it on the cheap.
It was a rent-to-own, slumlord type place. But it's pretty solid from what I have seen. It needs a roof, windows, siding and a good refinishing on the inside.
I have 5 acres total, but less than an acre is mowable with a regular Troy-Bilt Pony. But most of the land is on a steep hillside, but with a little work there is a spectacular view of the Arkansas River.
I'm looking to make it my permanent home and I want to start with the land. I'm torn between hiring a dirt contractor to come and just bulldoze everything or letting someone graze goats to clear everything. There are some nice oak trees and a beautiful pine. I'm looking to increase the total value and I could use some input.
Do you think I should clear everything and start over, or leave the big stuff?

No. My ten ten old daughter has lots of pony and unicorn pictures. Because she's ten. This anon on the other hand...

Yeah. Ok. You're right.

>>1509508
...and that's why depreciation is. Some vrooked cunts out there tho. They can legally rape you and unless you pony up to fight it in court they win. The law is gayer than aids and not fair. But it is the law

>>1499331
>I have no room for more solar.

Well then, pony up, I guess.

To answer your initial question directly, yes, it'll work

>>1493796
Just exchange those bitches. Pony up for 2 tanks in the beginning, pay the $80, and then whenever one runs out you can stop by Walgreens and swap it out for a full one for like $17,

I know of a few places that will refill the tanks on site, but it’s not even worth the time to get it for $15 instead of $17, especially considering everywhere has exchanges but only a few places will refill.

Oozing will always occur, it's the nature of gravity and a semi-liquid substance. Plastic at glass transition is too cool to push through a nozzle.

>>1481858
Nigga there's so much better places to order cheap filament than from China. Pony up the extra 5 dollars and buy like literally anything else. I regularly get 1kg US made spools for like 10-15 USD through sales/boxes/grab bags. Makergeeks has meh customer service, it's getting better it seems, I get replies back if something is messed up, but their raptor PLA is amazing, I have some PETG as well but haven't printed much with it yet.

0.6mm nozzle, 0.4mm layer height, 2 shells no infill. Buy an a ender 3 for 180bucks and churn them out at probably 10/15min each. Redesign slightly to simplify and to accommodate the larger layer height and you might bring it down further. How experienced are you with printing? UM's are pretty user friendly, would you have the experience to set up your own printer and slicer settings?

Or give up and tell them to figure it out themselves. This is one of those points where you might look back and wish you had taken the plunge to get more personally involved in 3d printing.

Closer view of the area where the pony wall is.

Would like to frame out this basement area with a flat wall, but the outer edges of the basement in the above-grade section go out 8-10 inches(roughly half of which is filled with existing pony wall and fiberglass insulation).

I would like to put XPS foam sheeting up against the foundation wall and frame inside that, but I assume the gap behind it on the upper half would lead to severe moisture problems.

Anyone got any advice on how to accomplish this?

>>1460714
>Why WOULDN'T you buy it?

Because its 300$ BEFORE restoration, and its a physically large one trick pony that isnt practical for most people.

Not that guy, but there's plenty of instances in the archives of kevin van cockface having conversations with bepcuck in some sort of schizophrenic rage because no one else was replying to him in the thread.

I like how he also claims he's too lazy to drop his trip to post here, but he has not problem switching between multiple ID's. The guy is an all talk no pony faggot. I don't understand why he's tolerated on a board that, since its inception, has rejected tripcunts with furious rage.

I'm remodeling a 2br cuck shed and the amount of mental retardation in this thread is really making me feel better about how things are going. So far I've got the original hardwoods refinished, replaced most of the old ungrounded wiring, cut the doorway between LR and kitchen into a cased opening with a pony wall and bar top, and about done with remodeling the kitchen. I still need to replace all the windows, replace front door, repair/replace siding, re-line the chimney, add attic insulation, add some bracing to one of the basement walls, cut back a lot of overgrown trees hanging all over the house, rebuild the porch... Shit is going to take me years and at least $20-30K to finish.

I don't know if I'll ever do this shit again but it is a good learning experience.

I have a My Little Pony card from Chase bank.

And if you can't tell, I'm american too.

So I forgot that Ardupilot has pitch reversed compared to fucking literally everything else, so I'm now rebuilding it with new landing gear & antenna mounts that broke when it immediately crashed after getting airborne for the first time. Ardupilot devs confirmed biggest fucking trolls in the RC world.

I did want to replace the landing gear with something of a wider stance like this anyway, but I was planning to fly more than 10ft before doing it.

The main reason why the Taranis is so commonly recommended to new pilots, even though it seems like a lot of money to them, is that once you have it you will literally never need nor want to replace it. Coupled with the fact that it's not actually that much more expensive than the alternatives, plus that FrSky's actual protocol performs better & that their range of receivers is far better than anybody elses', it really is false economy to buy anything else.

Essentially, you either want to go absolute budget & buy some $30 trash, or you want to pony up $115 for a Taranis - anything inbetween is pointless.

whats the best/economical/cheapest way into CNCing aluminum stock no smaller than a receiver? I'd like to use the mill for other projects as well. The Meme Gunner seems like a one trick pony, but I might be mistaken. From my recollection, it can't do 0% lowers.

Can a CNC mill be kicked over to manual mode if I want to smooth out stock before running it through the program? I'm a complete noob and have only used a CNC mill once years ago.
