Ridgid Miter Saw MS255SR 2012: Looking for the dust collector coming off of the blade.

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 08:28:06 -0700

It is the device having 3 screws which holds it in place. Left side has a fixed piece about 3" long, and on the right side has an additional piece the same length where the screws attach to it. The bottom has a flexible rubber piece acting as a scoop. Ridgid has no information any longer and cannot give me a model # for it.

any idea as to where I may be able to purchase it?

Dewalt Rotary Hammer DCH133B TYPE 1 2016: DCH033 Chuck Won't Hold Bits

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:15:02 -0700

The chuck on my Dewalt hammer drill DCH033 won't hold bits. I purchased a chuck repair kit, but that wasn't the problem. There's a gap below the sliding tube that should not be there, and I can't figure out why or how to fix it. The drill is fairly new and has only been used a few times.

FixHub Smart Soldering Iron: FixHub Web Console Connection Error on Ubuntu(Solved: user permission)

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:08:37 -0700

I was encountering a "Connection error" when trying to connect my FixHub Smart Soldering Iron to the web console at ifixit.com/fixhub/console. I am running Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS and using the latest Google Chrome browser.

The error message stated: "Make sure you do not already have another connection open and try again."

I tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

Fresh boot with no other applications or browser tabs open.
Tried multiple USB ports.

The solution that worked for me was adding my user account to the dialout group. I used the command: sudo usermod -a -G dialout (replacing with my actual username). After running this command and then logging out and back in, I verified I was added to the group using groups and was then able to connect to the web console successfully after a reboot.

This seems to be a common permission issue on Linux systems for accessing serial ports.

Toshweld ARC-200: Toshweld ARC-200 inverter welder: fan works but display and power ligh

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 06:12:29 -0700

I have a Toshweld ARC-200 inverter welding machine.

The problem is intermittent. When I turn the machine ON, the cooling fan runs, but the digital display does not turn on and the green power LED does not light up. There is also no welding output.

The power switch has been checked and it is working correctly. When the power switch is ON, the fan runs. When the power switch is OFF, the fan stops.

Previously, the same problem occurred. The next day I turned the machine ON again and it worked normally: the display came on, the green power light came on, and the welding output worked. Later, the same fault returned and now the fan runs but the display, power light and welding output do not work.

The machine specifications are:
Model: ARC-200
Input: 220/230V, 1 phase, 50/60Hz
Rated output: 200A
No-load voltage (Vo): 62V
Duty cycle: 60%

I want to troubleshoot and repair this machine step by step. Please help me identify which section I should check first. In particular, I would like to know where the auxiliary/control power supply for the digital display, green power LED and welding control circuit comes from after the main power switch.

I have a basic electrical tester and screwdrivers, but I currently do not have a digital multimeter with test leads.

I can provide photos of the machine and PCB if needed.

FixHub Portable Power Station: PowerStation bricked after firmware update

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 20:47:20 -0700

Hi,

I just purchased my FixHub Soldering Toolkit today and decided to upgrade to the latest firmware. It came with 1.0.3 and after upgrading to 1.0.7 it no longer detected the soldering iron. I decided to downgrade back to 1.0.3, but this errored during the 'resetting device' stage after it uploaded the firmware.

The display no longer shows anything at all and the device seems to not power on. I opened it and disconnected the battery for 10 minutes then reconnected it and tried to power it on with no luck.

I can put the device into DFU mode by holding down the silver knob while connecting a USB cable to the back port. It will load up in the web console, but it still shows 1.0.7 on the device and no downgrades succeed nor will the device power on.

Please help!

SKIL 4235 Jigsaw: Replacement part for holding blade onto saw

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:43:35 -0700

My saw no longer holds blades tightly. The "key" just keeps turning in the "collar". The threads on either the key or inside the collar must be worn or damaged. Can I remove and replace the "collar" device? Removal instructions would be helpful.
