I bought one too along with several other pullers and I was never able to find much info about them. Quality or not I don't know. from that era I'm hoping this is good stuff as I apply 20 tons on the regular.

On a whim I purchasd a RIMAC bearing splitter #1899. I know nothing about company. I can assume since they made some other high precision highly sought after tools that this vintage splitter is quality?

I'm with Klein. 11 in 1. I keep several around the house and garage.

Surprisingly the label cleaned up with some brake clean. The serial number came off but you can still read the imprint. It appears I do have a 1hp and not the 3/4 unit. 397.19360 serial 734351006 I'm still cleaning up the mud dauber nests but it runs well. Just coated in an ugly silver. I need a...

I've just realized it wasn't only the 1hp that had the multip piece tool rests. How do I know what I have?

I've looked around and can't seem to find info on identification without a label. I acquired a block 1/2hp a few months ago. Found many threads here and read up. On accident I stumbled across a 1hp block with the multi piece tool rests and tubular stand. It has been badly spray painted and the...

What are you guys doing with your 1/2 impacts? I've had a craftsman (florida pneumatic) for about 20 years and I can't recall anything it wouldn't do. I don't turn wrenches for a living but I'm a better than average shadetree working on anything from old muscle to new imports. The only time I've...

Wow where did you get those? I'm in OKC and I missed them. I picked up a 1/2 hp at an estate sale a few months ago.

The blade doesn't ride on the same shaft as the motor. Any play in the motor itself wouldn't affect the blade. I'm guessing all circular saws (not worm) work this way. There is a gear reduction shaft and the blade is attached to that.

I'm looking at that. Armature isn't the problem as the blade doesn't mount to that. The reduction gear and shaft is the problem. Looks like the assmebly just wears over time and you can no longer buy replacement parts. I may try a small shim and see what happens. nothing to lose.

I have an older craftsman 315.108400. It does what I need it to do generally but I noticed the blade wobbling a little so I took it apart expecting to find a worn bearing. Nope. Looks new. What is happening is there is a slight axial play in the shaft. No part diagrams show what the problem...

Looks like this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/362655723212

I have this homak h2 pro 56 They take up alot of floor space and I'm considering a pair of smaller pieces under my workbench. I've seen some nice examples here using US genral 44" boxes. Thoughts? I'd really like to have some space back as the space under my workbench is utilized poorly and...

Im pretty happy with this drawer.

I had my aluminum wheels done at a shop behind cattlemens. They were painted and crusty. They look brand new but it was 320 for the set.
