Greetings! I have a older Bridgeport vertical mill (3 phase wired low voltage) that I have powered by a VFD. I went out to finish a job yesterday morning and the motor won't start. I first suspected the Chinese VFD but I want to check the motor before I order another VFD. Confused as...

Yes but 3/8 is .375" (not .700") and 7/16 is .437" (not .775") Am I missing something?

Ran across this little gem at an estate sale, one end is marked 7/16 (actual opening .775") and 3/8 (actual opening .700"). What is it?

Installed a Fujitsu 24K BTU system in my house ten months ago and regret not getting a dual zone for the back part of my house. I still may do this in a year or so. First winter and has worked great. Cooled last Summer like a dream.

Where did you get the $249. coupon? Thanks!

Slides are spot-welded to the inside of the box and are worn out. I have tried Sears for replacement to no avail. I'll get some photos next week.

I have an older Craftsman tool box that is still in good condition except for the drawer slides. My box was made before the ball bearing rollers were standard and was subject to daily heavy use for many years. Now the lower drawer slides are worn, tough to pull the drawers out and often come...
