>>2977787Fagor is a company out of spain that does retro fit controls good people, good product great support id find out what control it is exactly see if fagor still supports it and if they do, i'd check for backlash on all the axis, runout of the spindle, clamping force of the drawbar function of the flood coolant system and runout of the spindle and condition do a couple tool changes and see if its decent then buy if he wont power it on but "ran fine when i shut it off" id pass no matter how cheap it is
>>2977787fagor is a good brand, if you can get an original program you should be able to make a posprocesor easily.those old fagor controls have linux on them, but maybe if they are even older i am not sure, but surely you can access some program insidethere is a dude in freecad forum using one llm to make a postprocesor so he doesnt need to use the proprietary bullshit
Is it better to buy the trashiest used mobile home I can find, buy a shipping container and DIY, or buy a prefab "tiny home", cuckshed, etc.? I want to do the bare minimum, the only real requirement is having a roof over my head.
>>2954235>the only real requirement is having a roof over my head.A tarp and some strings the cheapest. But if you want an actual house, your best bet for getting one cheaply is to bargain with an RV lot for the destroyed / old homes they pay to ship and remove. I easily got a 3 bed 2 bath from the 1970's out of a rural RV park for free and paid 2k in shipping.>>2954248"Mobile" homes always fuck you with the space rent. The larger point here is: homes aren't the expensive part of housing. It's civil infrastructure and land. Getting a home is simple, but finding a plot of land that has the hookups, sewage, proper zoning, doesn't outlaw living in an RV (which is what your picrel counts as) and has road accessibility is the hard part.>>2956379>squatting is freeYes, but can lead to eviction and in certain cases jail. My suggestion if you want a "free" house is to start digging into your county's parcel search look for abandoned properties that have yet to pay taxes. Find the owners contact info and ensure that the property has no one living on it. Once you have that, contact the owner and propose that you live in the property to protect it from vandalization while the owner is looking for tenants. In return, you'll maintain the property and pay utilities. That's FAR safer than squatting and better than paying rent.>>2971645This, a vast majority of codes are enforced via reporting. So be nice and make lots of friends and it will become a non issue.
>>2968930Or just build relationships and have family check in on the property. I pay nieces and nephews, they are high school age, most of them non blood, just very close, they get paid to check in on things, and I have a system like ring. My total cost is roughly $4,800k recurring annually, including utilities and taxes. Of which, the cameras, speakers and access control are about $500 a year, including the annual internet costs, not counting that I expect to replace the cameras and doors every 5 years which is probably $6k. So I pay the kids, they usually lowball themselves and ask for little more than gas money. I pay the kids usually 3x what they ask. It is probably around thousand dollars a year, they have key cards and access to everything.If you want to know what I use for surveillance, I use Axis/2n/wasabi but I know what I am doing regarding surveillance and access control because I do this for a living.
>>2958423That's stupid because Rvs don't have marine grade components, if you did this with a boat it would be way smarter.
I lived like this for almost a year out of the back of my truck with a solar power generator and a fridge in state and federal parks. It was fun, but I lingered in Washington for too long for healthcare reasons with the VA.
>>2964681>Just a bunch of TC 2x1s to keep land claimBro don't steal my rust build
An AI sloptube video just showed me the miracle of rust conversion into phosphate and how Big Coating has tried to kill it for the last 70 years. Is it that easy, I paint over steel with this cheap stuff and it never rusts again?I always thought a phosphate coating was something you had to do in a hot dip tank, I didn't think it was as simple as painting on phosphoric acid.And of course big hardware doesn't sell it here in canada, because why would they when they can sell you $20 cans of spray paint that flake off after a year.
>>2985598>And of course big hardware doesn't sell it here in canadaWell, when the only store you shop at is Dollarama...>>2985730Mofo, do you know know what an acid is? Of course it can eat metal. Fucking citric acid, the shit in lemons, can damage steel. Did you not pay attention in science class?>Believes in conspiracy theories. Fucking dumb ones about stupid shit. For real guys. The Philadelphia Experiment actually happened. Yeah, I know there are like three films made about it and a Wikipedia page but it was totally covered up by the gobernment. I saw a thing about it on the History Channel back in the day.
>>2985599Well if it isn't Big Words on 4chan
>>2986786No, you need to hit it with at least 1000 degrees celsius or you will just rust the shit out of it.
AI should be banned feom Youtube. Also any that puts captioning in a video that has audio. I'd like to see a browser add-on that blocks this kind of stuff.
>>2985598Vinegar Will do the same.
Recently I've been seeing these "overly meticulous and pedantic" home inspectors popping up on YouTube, namely this guy and his copycats. They claim to be "exposing corruption in the housing industry" but as others have pointed out, it's all part of the marketing. What do you think?
>>2975229its easy to say no one cares but its more of a function they are forced to not care due to how insanely fucked the economy has become under globalism/free market worship
Inspection is a legit service, but there are a few types that a completely fucking homeowners: the inspectors that collude with large developers, the inspectors that legally halt work on jobs for years when contractors are abiding good actors, the inspectors that ego trip on specific irrelevant items and overlook everything else.
>>2980616That's the idea. They're supposed to come through and tag all your shit even though it's probably already better than code compliant. You tear it apart and make it shittier like they want. Pay them again and its done.
>>2986913Yeah what do you need trusses that are connected for. That's already better than required. You only need like 2 trusses on each end of the house. Everything else is just overengineered
>>2986921That's why they'll have you rip one more of the two trusses out and hurricane tie the first one seven more times. Bingo bango to code, done.
A breaker bar is a breaker bar, right?ITT: Shit tier tools
>>2983123I still never recommend cheap saw blades or drill bits. Grab the damn DeWalt or Bosch set on sale at Lowe’s and you won’t have this happen
>>2983163Diablo carbide tipped pruning blades for pretty much wood anything. I don't cut a whole lot of metal with a sawzall, but probably milwaukee torch or similar for metal. I've had good luck with any cobalt drill bit's I've bought especially the 120 piece sets from HF. When I do occasionally break one I order replacements from victor machinery. Common 1/8" and 1/4" bits used for piloting and whatnot I'll order bulk off e-bay from drillmaster or whoever. Seems like they're all good quality when you buy the cobalt ones.
>>2983186Don’t worry, I got on that train a long time ago.The problem with the good drill bits at work is that a lot of people thing faster in metal = faster and they toast everything. But if you stock up on $9.98 DeWalt 14pc specials, life is easy. And then keep a good cobalt set on the side. But we also drill a lot of stainless so everybody is going to reach for the cobalt all the time.
>>2983127the taste yest results havent come in yet for the newest variety
>>2967814I have done this before, I was in a tight space and was vertically walking up the wall next to me to shift the weight onto the rust bolt.
I've heard this CAN be used to upgrade a Remastered, but its "not straight forward" and some mods and hacks.Any info on that?I want to get a Remastered but they all have stock arms, and I can't find a upgrade for sale at any price.

>>2988230only downside of a 2 stroke chainsaw is the noise, just measure 2 stroke oil mix, add in, shake, and usecarbs have cold air settings>idle soundits fine it barely uses any oil just tweak its idle>tax write offgo with battery then, in theory gas chainsaw should last longer but you can't disassemble the engine and fix it without spending even more money, the tolerances are a bit tightas for the battery chainsaw, a lot of people can fix it

Does anyone make a decent small trackball that isn't a mouse? I'm trying to make a custom keyboard and I would like to use something like a 1 inch/25mm trackball in it. Anything in that neighborhood.This isn't going to be a video game controller. It is going to be an all-in-one computer interface device in a hard service location. I know these are made (the Navy uses a bunch) but none of the vendors I spoke with were interested in selling me one at a reasonable price (most ignored me, one quoted $1,200 dollars). So, I want to make my own but I can't find any sub-two inch modular trackballs. It is going to be controlled by the thumb only so it needs to be smallish.
>>2988246>>2988251I ended up buying the 12 inch 60v. I can switch to a 16" bar and chain if I must but for now should be perfect for my needs. Https://www.dewalt.com/en-us/product/dccs673x1/dewalt-60v-max-12-brushless-cordless-compact-top-handle-chainsaw-tool-connect-kit

so i've bought picrel to clean some indoor AC units of some people i know (maybe start a business later)need some /diy/ recepe for making the cleaning and washing agents since i don't have a company and there's no way to buy commercial cleaners in my third world shithole (also nothing on the local internets)i'm thinking about these>wather+vinegar>water+soap>ethanol+PETROL+water>water+salt+dishwashing liquidi'm planning to buy one more pic related for deactivating/cleaning off the first cleaning agentalso internet says that both acid and alkali can damage aluminium fins on the AC unit so that's why i'm asking you guys to help an anon out if you have some experience and knowledge
>>2986509Look up the MSDS for existing products.
>>2986509Can you get powdered cleaners like sodium metasilicate or tri-sodium phosphate?
>>2986509Household vinegar is already dilute enough for cleaning you wouldn't really want to water it down anymore.

Is there any truth to people to the people who are saying it's a very in-demand trade that pays great with a low barrier to entry?My shop teacher today fucking went on about how much he reccomends drywall, he says that the money is fantastic and if you can handle the job then it's a ticket to doing alright. The consensus online seems to be same.What do you guys think?

nail plate appreciation thread. not recommended uses for nail plates
Is this >>2980527 a bot question? Wtf?
>>2976469That looks to have the structural stability of a house of cards...
>>2975994I watched a documentary on how revolutionary these were for house building. Super fascinating.
>>2975994>not recommended uses for nail platescrucifixion
>>2980527Yes. In a fire the plates transfer heat to the teeth which char the wood holding them in. They lose their grip an fall out long before the truss itself is consumed. This leads to an early collapse.
I've got a plan, John.

>>2981246It's too thick and there are fucking shingles (at least 4 layers) and the slope transition where it should be modbit cap and base or realistically fully adhered EPDM. The shingles don't bend like like a membrane would, hence the big fucking squirrel gap at the slope transition.

Let's say you are lazy af and want to design your own house.How would you design a self-cleaning or easy to clean bathroom? Say, a bathroom that you are able to clean fully using pressure washers, window cleaning robots, UV lights, cleaning soap dispensers (like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX5AAiwpiz8&t=265s) or whatever, and then using something (a big fan maybe) to dry it quickly.
>>2985698Is this just a bunch of croissants spread around in hopes of attracting a French maid?
