just to let everyone know... went to Lowes and picked up a container of drain cleaner (caustic soda crystals).. three tablespoons in a pickle jar with about 2" of water and every burr came out like new...it did take about an hour but I was busy with the truck anyway and just checked them every...

I have a few carbide rotary burrs that have been used on aluminum and the cutting edges are filled with aluminum swarf. scraping does no good as well as wire wheel any way to remove this **** and reuse the burrs ??? maybe a chemical dip or sumthin how 'bout heating with a torch then a wire...

I got MasterCool also... cured all my bad flares... Rigid also makes a good one that doesn't slip and easy to use... john

the third from the left is a utility knife that uses proprietary blades... the little flip lever ejects the blade... I have several of these and a couple of trim pot tools john

I've got that actual set and using them to rewire a '53 f-100 truck.. they are sweet, one hand operation and will strip fro #10-#16 without a second look. I took my old cheap strippers out behind the garage and threw them across the fence. In a hundred years someone will find them, decide...

Mac... I'm assuming you're referring to the unloader valve in the 4th picture... is it above the crankcase oil level or do I need to drain the oil before removing

I’ve got a Quincy 310 roc 24 compressor that just started giving me trouble.... unloader is doing just that... and it won’t build pressure... worked fine yesterday, today it just blew me off...literally. Oil level is full... pressure is 20 psi. I’ve taken the unloader apart and everything is...

nine... don't mean to hyjack your thread... just a quick comment for Ned I've got your vice's cousin john

I've had this vise for years... Prentiss # 56. 6" jaws...non-swivel. I had initially blasted it and gave it coat of paint... but plans never finished for another bench to support it... I've got to much stuff and need to liquidate some assets... wondering what a good asking price would be...

I sometimes need to drill horizontally or even overhead and the dream of a mag drill is just that ... a dream... I've seen a couple of 'portable drill presses" that would fit the bill but are waaaaaaaay above my budget... something like this or anyone ever tried to fab one of these up...

dragging up a 3 year old thread looking for a solution... I've got 4 grinders that I use regularly...and all but one have a 5/8" - 11 spindle... I like to keep one with a grinding rock, one with a flap disk, one with a cutting wheel, one with a wire brush I've got one Milwaukee 6145 with a...

had the same thoughts about what to do with my accumulation... and wrote itdown here http://jniolon.classicpickup.com/articles/whattodowithyourstuffboth.htm later John

this one goes with the previous post... needed an engine stand for the 460 and this is the final product... a caveat... I didn't do the welding on this...just the design, layout and tack up work. I'm not quite confident in my welding in high stress/weight situations... had a good...

kinda late to the show but here's one I did for an engine build we did last year for my truck project..... link takes you to the article... another one after that john http://jniolon.classicpickup.com/enginebreakinstand/enginebreakinstand.htm

there should be a data place under the air filter on the crankcase with the model number and the revision number.... I'm saying 325 also and I'm sure it's not a 310 like mine.. buy it... and drag it home... it will never leave and that ain't enough motor for it john
