    New Departure Bearings - How to restore tutorial

    This is good info and I have had good success cleaning and regressing old bearings but, found that my Delta drill press with custom bearings like the ND88106 develop slight play resulting in drill press runout. No way to correct play in an old bearing. This is the bane of my existence, trying to...

    Craftsman ContinUturn 2015 to 2017

    Same as Grip Tite Veloci-Ratchet. Was only sold at Ace (I think). Not made in USA but seems like a one-off good for my collection. The idea is once a nut or bolt is loose, you spin the ratchet head with your free hand to continue loosening the fastener. Probly a gimmick, but kinda cool. Wonder...

    resto-mod vintage Sears air compressor

    I ended up tossing the tank. The bottom internally looked like the Grand canyon, from rust. Not safe. I still have the plastic belt guard if you want it. No cost but shipping.

    resto-mod vintage Sears air compressor

    Wow that looks fantastic. Thanks! I guess this confirms I gotta keep a 3hp motor on this and run 240 to my garage. I'm measuring about 75 feet, so a 240v 20a circuit with 12awg should be able to handle this 15 amp 3hp motor. According to Cerrowire chart.

    resto-mod vintage Sears air compressor

    Glad I found this thread!! I just acquired a 106.153881 I think? I tried to run it on 120 and it sounded beautiful but I could tell it needs 240 volts because it slowed down to a crawl at 50 psi. But no leaks, no abnormal noises. Will be a nice project. This is heavy as all get out!! The tank...

    Choosing a Vise - Please advise! (Update: I think I have a "winner"!)

    Love my 204R but for no removable jaws. There are covers I can use so no big deal. I have a smaller craftsman but pails in comparison.

    Craftsman Mechanic's Set Contents/Parts List

    Thanks, but I found a similar parts sheet for a 118 piece 33618 that is like mine, less 5 metric wrenches. Mine is 33623 with 5 extra wrenches hence 123 pieces. Oh well

    Craftsman Mechanic's Set Contents/Parts List

    Anyone know where I can find a contents sheet for 33623 set I have? From 1994. I also can't find the elusive 1993-1994 power and hand tools catalog.

    1941 DP220 V Belt Size?

    I think I figured it out. Either need an AX39 for 41" belt or AX42 for 44" belt. Will have to measure the outside circumference of my existing belt to determine if I have high speed or low speed model.
