    Tale of two start capacitors. Why is the US-made one so much smaller?

    OK, thanks. I do like that the Titan HD is made in the US

    1966 Craftsman 150 drill press. Excellent condition.

    Very good condition 1966 Sears Craftsman 150 drill press. 1/2 hp motor. No damage to deck and have original owner's manuals. No run out on quill shaft, but could use bearings for they are starting to make noise. Usable as is, but would be silent with new bearings. Everything works as it should...

    Tale of two start capacitors. Why is the US-made one so much smaller?

    Interesting comments, fellas. The more I think about it, the smaller diameter could be an issue. I do like that the new, smaller one is made in the USA though

    Tale of two start capacitors. Why is the US-made one so much smaller?

    Tale of two start capacitors. Why is the US-made one so much smaller?

    The start capacitor went out on one of my AC units. Thankfully, I had a spare in my stash. Capacitor is 45+5 mfd and rated for 440/370 vac. The one in my stash was made by Titan Pro in China. I picked up another one to replace the one I used in case I need it later on. The new...

    Do you use vintage tools?

    I have old Fords ('28-'49) and pick up KR Wilson, Snap On, Manzel tools made specifically for jobs done on these cars. They have been life savers. Snap On tapered hub steering wheel puller and king and perch pin press/pullers in particular. Invaluable

    The uses and usefulness of different wrench types

    I don't know, it really depends on the situation. Since I do all the maintenance/service on our daily drivers, sometimes that one wrench you rarely reach for is the one that saves the day. It's been a while, but when we buy a car, the wife looks at style, driving, etc. I look at how easily...

    Ah, interesting. Thank you. Maybe I could make it into a bolt by welding the nut to the set screw.

    Source for 5/8ths-18 (fine thread) 1" full thread bolt with a reduced height (thin) head

    Thanks, all. Yes, I can do it at home with a belt sander, but I was hoping to find on already done. Now I'm more curious if these exist. I'm trying to fit a crank mounted tach drive and space is tight. If I can get a 1/4" from the front, that would be helpful.

    Sorry, hex would be ideal. I'm trying to gain clearance in a very tight application.
