    Budget power quality meter to verify generator output THD

    Basically yes - I'm interested in a unit that gives a THD number. As I understand it under 5% is the safe zone.

    Budget power quality meter to verify generator output THD

    Hi all. I want to verify the THD output of what's supposed to be an electronics-friendly generator before connecting it to my window AC unit. I'll be going into a UPS for the computers so they're not as crucial. Any suggestions for the cheapest unit that will get it done? AMPROBE and Fluke...

    Barber chairing- stay on the stump?!

    Why isn't wrapping a chain around the trunk as I saw mentioned in a video standard practice?

    Should they have cut this tree from the top down instead of felling?

    What's the Murph reference? Some kind of inside joke apparently.

    Should they have cut this tree from the top down instead of felling?

    They call it felling - whatever you want to call it, why is it better to do what they did instead of taking it down piece by piece after having voiced concerns about hitting something?

    Should they have cut this tree from the top down instead of felling?

    They fell this tree against a lean on a residential property - they specifically mention the risk of hitting the house, power lines and a car. Instead of risking the felling going wrong why not cut the tree down a piece at a time as I've seen done in other videos? Is it all about saving time or...

    What's the recommended fuel mix ratio determined by?

    What's the recommended fuel mix ratio determined by?

    I have a Remington Outlaw 46cc that calls for 40:1, an Echo CS352 34cc that calls for 50:1. What's behind the different oil ratio recommendations?

    Is there a specific sign/point when you should stop using a chain?

    Is a chain likely to break before you reach the full extension of the bar adjuster? Is there a point at which you should stop using one?

    Chain lube oil flow?

    I had my Echo saw apart, the worm gear was fine, looks as good as the new ones I ordered along with new oiler pumps anticipating I might need to replace them. The oiler pump gear turns easily with a screwdriver tip. Checked the oil pickup in the reservoir which looks fine, shot some parts...

    Purpose of oiler worm gear wires?

    The wires that protrude from the worm drive gear that I see on various brands that use this kind of oiling system - are these to clear away debris that might work its way in?

    Echo clutch shaft needle bearing - should it be lubricated?

    Anyone familiar with Echo saws know if the clutch shaft needle bearing should be lubed and if so what's ideal for lube? Thanks!

    Chain on Remington Outlaw saw goes slack quickly

    It hasn't had a huge amount of use - I wouldn't think enough to cause that but I'll look at it closely.
