I just purchased two Grizzly 20" drill presses. I had to take both of them. ($200 for both) It took two to make one. Now I have just the one left and trying to find if any value in trying to sell it as is or scrap it (junk yard) I have often seen 17" listed on face book with broken casting or...

I have a Grizzly g 7948 drill press. There is a nylon nut that holds the pulley on. Does any one know what that should be torqued at? I read one article and fellow said Grizzly didn't know. I can't believe that you cant get any info from Grizzly. They say the G7948 has been discontinued and no...

Rockable: The gun is where I want to start checking, so how many wires should come out of my gun? Can I unplug the gun and pull the trigger and check it with a vom meter? When hooking up a volt meter to ground and hot lead back in the machine what kind of voltage should I get? (when pulling...

i am having a problem with my mig powering up. No brand name on it but has a Yes welder gun on it. Turn welder on and everything seems to work, wire feeds, gas works but no arc, I will fool around with it for about five minutes, moving shaking leads, tapping on welder, turn it off and back on...

I was just looking at another ad and they listed one for 5000psi. You wonder how they can make those statements. Common sense tells you are not going to get 3 gal and that kind of pressure. It would be intersting to see how long one would last. When I was 16 IL could pee a bigger stream than...

I have a old pressure washer with 1.25 hp Baldor motor. Sold by Northern Hydrulics. Star brand 1500 psi 2.1 gal per min. weighs about 35 lbs. Its one of those things I seldom use and got neglected., and pushed back in corner. ( good stout frame with tube tires) Water was left in pump and...

What would be the amperage of this machine. It says 250 but I doubt it. I would be happy if it was even 180-190

I havent been able to find one like mine. For awhile AliExpress sisted it but I tried to get information on it. I see that a Co. called Perfect Power has one listed that look almost the same. I E mailed them for a owners copy. No reply so far. I don't understand why they would make it so that...

I have a Miller 250 mig at my shop but sometimes I have a small welding job I need to do at home and the Miller is too big to load up. I was looking on FB for a decent cheap one. I seen this one advertised for $150. with cart and wire including regulator. I contacted the guy and he could not...

I have tried all methods here and I thought their might be a easier way. Plan on priming trailer ant then painting it. Would it come off a little faster if I used a torch sparingly? I hate the glue residue that clogs your sanding disc and using solvent to get it off

I have a 18' trailer that I would like to repaint and parts of the safety stripe is pretty tore up. How is the easiest way to completely remove all the stick on safety reflective striping? Can I use a 80 grit sander on it or will it just smear the glue from the heat?

Yes, I already checked them out. They work on 512 kHz. They are around $30 ea. which is not a bad price. I called the co. and they have one that goes on the end of a camera rod, they are around $250 and that is not what I want. I would think some one still makes them or some one would have...

I purchased a Goldak PB44 feerit pipe locator. It has a flushable sonde, that you flush down the toilet or clean out to locate septic tanks and lines. It works on 119 kHz. I am trying to find a spare sonde for it. Most of all the new ones work on 512. Does any one have a source where I...

I supposed this has been discussed before (if so point me to the thread). I bought a set of sockets from Matco years ago and it wasn't long before I threw them away. You couldn't see the sizes stamped on them. I was going through my drawer yesterday doing some reorgnizeing. I have a tap and...

That's why my next box will be the largest one H.F makes instead of paying $5000 for the one I have. (with $4000 left over to buy paint)
