    Compressor Piping

    I'm putting together a compressor from component parts. I'd planned to use 3/8" copper refrigeration tubing with compression fittings to connect the output of the compressor to the check valve/tank. A 10' coil costs about $22 at Home Depot. I only need about two feet. I've got a bunch of...

    Apex Tool Truck

    In a parking lot in Rochester, NY. I don't know if this is a mobile tool truck or some sort of company support vehicle. I suspect the latter, but I could be wrong.

    The Volt Garage

    1) I can try that. Normally I run 40 all the way around (subject to temperature fluctuation) 2) :moon: 3) Standard normal operation for me is L with Drive Mode: Sport 4) The heater is useless so I use the seat heat a lot in the cool weather. This morning it was 43F in my garage and the Volt...

    OK, WTF? My Volt tops out at 28 in the winter and tops out at 36 in the summer.

    Show us Your Vintage Bench Grinders!!!!

    It's got the older script Baldor name plate, so... You got lucky with the tool rests, too. So often someone removes them and they are gone forever. Nice grinder.

    Tools that changed everything for you

    Perfect timing. I was cutting some square tube in the garage this evening with my Milwaukee band saw thinking to myself: This Thing Is Awesome. It makes working with metal so easy.

    Steel is Expensive

    Thanks for the info. Do they take small orders or have a drops section where one can pick and choose what one wants?

    Wilton 5" Bullet Vise

    KMScott here on Garage Journal will custom make you a set - better than the ones available from Wilton! I'm surprised he hasn't wandered in to this thread yet...

    Wilton 5" Bullet Vise

    Vonhef, That vise is in rough condition. New jaws and a handle could be $150 - $200. I'd think long and hard before investing my time - let alone money - in that one. Doesn't hurt to look at it though. Why not give this guy a call on the C3? Top of the line, better condition, all the...

    Steel is Expensive

    I'm working on a project and need 6' of 1.25 square tubing, 0.065" wall. Home Depot has 3' sections (which I can work with) for ~$18 each. Whoa. I went to Klein Steel in Rochester, NY over lunch today. They have an extensive section of drops that you can pick or choose from, or order...
