hey guys, I know I could probably purchase from Northern a 20 ton press for around 300 bucks, but I'd rather take a stab at fabricating one myself. I have a Miller Mig welder and garage space to do it. Please let me know where to head. I've been cruising Youtube as well. Thanks Sid

Thank you for the help everyone. No idea if my chuck comes off or do I have to take the front end off to see how to get the chuck off? Thank you again. Sid

Evening all, I have an old drill of my dads that just doesn't work anymore. The meatl coolig blades inside are all tore up and it just makes a bunch of noise plus the chuck is kinda froze up. I know I can buy a new one for less than it would take to repair one, but it is a sentimental thing...

Evening all, Please have a look and let me know possibly a model of this press. I am trying to see what size chuck it is and can I get a 5/8" chuck if its a 1/2. Is it a decent press for 150 bucks? http://greensboro.craigslist.org/grd/4947272078.html Thanks Sid

For what its worth. I guy who drives a Cornwell truck lives two houses up from me. I have his 15' catalog. I prefer to find the corwell tools cheap at flea markets because nobody really knows who they are or what they're giving away for that matter. Last week in Charlotte I bought a 15/16...

Thank you sir. I appreciate the help. Sid

Afternoon all, I have an older Starlite Hi-Speed grinder. Mdl LHP60....up to 60K rpm. I am looking for burrs or bits to grind or dress aluminum. The shank diameter is .062. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sid

Morning all, Still trying to find a decent, American made if possible, in my budget, drill press. I found a radial arm Penncraft Premium that is in real nice shape. Can anyone tell me who they are, where they were made and if its worth 150 bucks? Just doing nothing thicker than 3/8" bar...

Aesome. Thank you sir. Mainly looking for straight holes in 1/2" or less bar stock, sheetmetal and wood from time to time. All my bits are no larger than 1/2". I'll check on the spare parts also. Thanks again for replying. Sid

Evening, Can anyone give me some reviews or opinions on this press? Can I use it for metal? Thanks Sid

Afternoon all, I am in the process of working a trade for my Onan generator for a Bico machine tools industrial drill press. Never heard of Bico Machine Tools. Anybody have any experience with these? The press and motor BOTH say made in Taiwan. Thanks for any input. Sid

Yes it is a staked nut. It seems to be all the way Unstaked though. I went and bought 3/8" line and fittings today. Fired up the large Kellogg American compressor and still the MAC AW234 will nut budge it. I will have to look at a large 3/4" breaker bar I guess. I will be getting a Decent...

thanks for your time guys. Sid

The problem I see now is that part of the axle nut is smashed into the groove of the shaft. Where you are supposed to bend it into. The nut can't spin past it. The thing is, it doesn't look like much of it is in the way either. I am using 1/4" hose from my craftsman tank. I guess I need to...

I searched.
