The issue maybe could be the bearing where the rotor spin at.

A few weeks i go i found this stand fan(pic related) outside a store so i took it to home. When i did plug it to the electric outlet the fan didn't spin and i did hear a bzzzzzz sound, so i applied oil to the shaft of the rotor and the fan came back to live and the buzzing stop!

So yeah the issue it was the bearing(the fan was covered in dust). I still without fix it 100% at all because i can't remove a screw of the motor in order to get access to the bearing to apply grease because the oil don't last a lot due the spinning of the motor the oil is tossed outside due the centrifugal force of the spinning, so 'electric motor bearing grease' is need it to fix this, oil is just temporal solution.

Sorry if you had a stroke trying to read my pist, im ESL.

I hope i have helped

>>2973515
Also seems like 'graphite grease' is the best for this.

AC motors have a slip rating. Which literally means the rotor and stator aren't synced perfectly with the 60z AC. Rpms should be multiples of 60, but since they slip rpm ratings are slightly less than theoretical. IE an AC condenser fan motor would a theoretical rpm of 1200 and actual rpm of 1075.

The electrical noise is magnetic and electrical fields interfering with each other because of the slipping. It's probably worse at the highest speed because something is causing excess friction or load. IE dust and dirt buildup on the bearings, dry bearings, or even the fan blades warping.

Try holding the fanblades still and turn the fan on, it should make an electrical buzzing noise. Compare that noise to what you've been hearing to see if it's actually the motor. And try greasing it like the other anon.

>>2966103
Is that a Hunter? That would make it an expensive brand.

At that age, I would immediately assume friction. It must have decades of dust caked inside it.
If you want it to run forever, you could take it apart, clean it, and potentially replace brushes if needed.
If you just want it to keep moving but shut up, a bit of sewing machine oil might be cheap and effective without taking it apart or down.

our house used to have a fireplace but it got demo'd in the remodel and as it turns out it was probably what was causing the house to sink in that area at first glance but it turned out the whole thing wasn't concrete, it was a sortof chicken wire with rocks concreted over it, completely hollow on the inside
to describe it the best way I can
It looked like one of those modeled video game assets that's only supposed to be viewed from one angle and if you see the other side it ruins the illusion.

Some good deals on their french online store this week (i will post pics and détails when delivered)
Bought :
-12v 4Ah b4 papk batteries (two for 15€)
- PKLLP 360 B green laser + tripod (30€)
- PPDSSA 12 A1, 12v impact 12,7mm 1/2 square (18€) for light car work
- PAR ratchet 12 B1, 12V (12€)
- molly kit (6€)
- rivet kit (5€)
- double isolated wine glasses (4€)
- bits (4€)
IMO this this chinkshit (owim or grizzly) but with easier warrenty options at lidl than mystery aliexpress brands shilled elsewhere (and no headache return policy). Here in France the Leroy Merlin or Castorama entry level shit is also rebadged from china with low quality too (dexter/ McAllister). I have some inheirited/second hand facom or nice tools, some corded ryobi and black&decker from the 2000 is also decent. So my usual process is : good second hand reputable brands -> rebadged chinkshit from lidl-> rebadged chinkshit from local stores-> ali-> usual brands from local stores

>>2959318
Never trust anyone that sells 18V nominal as "20V".

Yeah I have several Ryobi tools that were given to me. They surprised me ngl, especially the angle grinder.

Flashlights break. Batteries overheat easily. Circular saw has almost no useful power. Air nailer has safety to disable shot after 3 seconds. Router shuts off from normal resistance to bit. Drills are fine and get the job done. They work

I finally stepped into the battery tool game with one of the $199 Ryobi kits Home Depot had for black Friday. I really can't complain. For hobbyist shit they're great, the impact driver has helped already with a couple fixes on vehicles, the drill seems perfectly adequate, and the tiny ass circular saw was more comfortable that my big corded one for cutting 3/4" cedar. Haven't really had a use for the oscillating tool or reciprocating saw yet, and I've got a ton of flashlights already, but they seem solid enough.

How much do you plan on handling and using it? I like the red rubber hoses. No pvc or hybrid bullshit, they are terrible in real world use. The pvc ones are stiff when cold and have a memory effect real bad. While the hybrid ones are better, they still suck compared to a good rubber hose. Get some ferrules and a crimper and learn how to put a proper end on them because they will break at the ends of the hose 99% of the time as that is where the worst flexing happens. Hose clamps are bulky and suck ass compared to a proper crimped ferrule.

This is a proper air hose crimper and will make your hose ends look better than factory and a pleasure to use. You can grind the old ferrules off of factory hose ends and re-use the barb fitting as long as you don't cut too deep and mess the barbs up.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/257205159254

Go by the pressure rating for that hose.
The cheap ones will have a low rating, or they won't disclose it if that's something they can get away with where you are. The higher rated ones will be more expensive. If you need higher rated ones, get higher rated ones.

Yeah they can keep dogs n shit out but bears seem to not give a fuck, especially juvenile ones. Usta just plink 22 rounds in front of the fucker till he got the message

Just deterrents. Anything that wants in will get in. A full sized bear can go through it. Yotes can dig under it, as can a determined bear.

The problem you have, anon, is that anything strong enough to keep a bear from going through horizontally is also going to be strong enough for it to climb over.

is bears eating dogs really a problem?

There is one in my local town, so probably. I doubt it's buying you any yachts, though. Seems like it would be better as a side business.

I feel like it's one of those jobs that's part of a wider repertoire. Like we have a guy that comes around to do maintenance on a few machines at work that also does ATMs and safes

pretty sure it's one of the most underpaid trades if you just do lockouts during the day time. if night time you can potentially make pretty decent money. people get desperate when it's after 5.

probably better money if you get well known and are regularly putting in locks/doors/door hardware etc for commercial/corporate buildings. idk.

i would imagine the more well rounded you are, the more opportunity you have for people to keep using you. people don't want to get a door guy when you only do locks. or a guy that only does non transponder cars, etc.

might be a good biz to work into, especially if you don't have to worry about rent for the time being

>>2973263
Pretty sure the same companies pulling SEO mafia shit with other trades also do it to locksmiths. Unless there was a crackdown on it, they basically bury smaller businesses and independents in the search results (same way every other thing you search for gets pages of irrelevant bullshit). If you want any referrals from people searching "locksmith" online you end up giving them a cut to be the middleman since the bulk of web traffic points to their site and phone number. It's not necessary but it's something to be aware of. Ideally you'd get in good with contractors in your area and maybe you're become the guy they call for any new projects.

As mentioned lockouts, rekeying and key cutting alone won't bring in a lot of bread. Locksmiths around here also install the doors (residential and storefront), install closers, crash bars, etc. Card Access is a pretty big deal too. Office spaces, medical facilities and so forth want badges, automatic door openers, mag locks and electric strikes, rex buttons/sensors, etc. A few locksmiths around here also do CCTV (there's a lot of overlap with what low voltage/alarm companies provide).

Last thought is whether or not you can even call yourself a "locksmith" yet. It's a protected title in many states which means you've gotta pay to piper first and meet whatever requirements the states asks if you, like a minimum level of insurance coverage and background checks, to be allowed to call yourself one. While you're getting started there's probably nothing stopping you from sticking some lettering on your truck that says "Lockouts, Rekeys, CCTV" or whatever. But if you stick "Locksmith" on the side, and the state doesn't recognize you as such, you could find yourself in some trouble.

tldr: long winded version of what's already been said / learn some low voltage too

I got a locksmith here in thailand and he just broke my door knob. I bet most of them suck if you can pick s lock youre probably better than 90% of locksmiths

>>2969795
I don’t see why this wouldn’t work so long as the seals are tight. Are you using one of those vacuums sealers? Many come with a port to connect a hose. Install a hose big in the pot and suck out the air. Or if you can’t get it to seal, stick the whole thing in a vacuum bag

There are solar cookers that use this principal… typically you’ll see a parabolic trough with a vacuum tube along the focal point. A tray with food sits inside the tube and food is cooked without fuel very quickly. A durable kit like that puts be great for camping or for the homeless

Gas dryers sold new all the way up to the late 80s were built in a way that they would burst into flames because of excessive lint buildup in the hose. Like your house burn to the ground from it.

So Amazon was recommending zip ties that would fit around your neck ,plastic bags that would fit over your head, helium tanks and a hose for that helium tank.
Just because it found a pattern in the orders people where making. But people pumping helium into a bag over there head is a rather popular way to go out as without co2 buildup in the lungs your body doesn't even know it can't breath and you just sorta pass out and not wake up.

Avoid square weave technique unless you have a reason to do it.
The bead width variation isn't worth it. Inspectors judge bead width, based on most narrow measurement.

Square weave pattern will commonly fail inspection if you ever push the weld pool too far. Not worth it.
Stick it consistent bead width, if that means a different weave technique, so be it.

Weld superiority isn't subjective.
You use the correct motion for the application, and you achieve a perfect bead output.
No one cares how you actually maneuver your electrode tip, except the inspector when they find bead inconsistency.

Equal fluid movement of the weld pool at consistent bead width is the way. Anything else is the dark side.

>>2973196
Not to say it's bad, it's just that other motions can make up for a mistake like slightly pushing your pool too far.
If you do it with square weave, you're going to become a grinder instead of a welder.

So, use the other motions, as they will forgive/cover up your mistake of inconsistent travel speed.
Square weave will not forgive that, as your pool will be beyond the toe of your last wave crest. Missing overlap within your own bead line is CRAZY and isn't even a possibility with most motions.
Square weave can do that, if you think about it, you are missing overlap, on the same bead you are making. From an efficient professional welding standard, this is bumfuck crazy and makes a mother fucker wonder, who even invented square weave? It's shit, unless you have to make that motion for a riveted/equally spaced bolted edge, there's almost NO REASON to ever square weave.

>>2973061
Why not just get a simple cheapo stick welder?

No gas canister. You can buy rods at local hardware stores. If you need a weld to look pretty, just grab some 7018's. If you need wire level/precision work, use a soldering iron kit.

SMAW stick welding is good enough for 99% of home level work.
Can be done for much cheaper, low cost stick unit, cost of rods, no gas to worry about. For home project/sporadic use, you really can't go wrong with stick.
(No rod oven though, better stick to the resilient stuff, men and children are separated by whether or not they are comfortable with 60x0 rods.)

I want to make a test sample for dye penetration.
I was thinking doing a weld bead that cracks for sure (preferably invisible that only comes up with dye), grind and polish to flat.

What would be an "ideal" way to do this? What filler what settings would work?

If you search Fidelio X2 Repair (you could've told us the model) you'll find an old reddit thread for the same problem. Since Phillips told them lolgetfukt, they said fuck it and cracked theirs open. Desoldered the drivers (probably to make them easier to work on), widened the holes, then installed some machine screws and nuts in place of the pins. Might not even need to widen them. Can't be too much smaller than the screws from tiny toggle bolts or electrical cover plates. If you're neurotic as I am, and save all your odd fasteners in a jar or bit box, you might already have something that works.
