Thanks for the response. Based on what I read on the Ford Barn it appears that the growler may be wired correctly. I will be very careful using it.

A friend asked me to replace power the cord on a Silver Beauty 440 growler. The growler only vibrate when I flip the switch to the on position. However I found that touching the probes together lights the tester bulb even with the switch in the off position. To me this indicated that there is...

Thank you. It is good to know that I have been installing it correctly. I have a copy of the Barrett B-500 manual and that information was not provided. I appreciate your help.

Thanks so much Andy. I do have one more question. I have installed the bit the same way it was when I purchased the lathe (narrow side facing down). When I was photographing the bit i noticed that I may have been installing the bit upside down. Does the narrower side of the bit face up or...

Andy1234, Your description matches what I think I need. I have attached a photo which may help. I searched the Kennametal site for the numbers on the package but nothing matched. The triangle edges are beveled which I guess is the same as negative raked. If you could provide the Ammco number...

The bits I had came in a blister pack from a manufacturer named Kennametal. The part number was obliterated. There are many triangular bits on the Kennametal site. I was hoping someone could give me a part number and a source for a bit which would work in this probably 60 year old brake...

I have a Barrett B-500 Brake Lathe and need some replacement bits. My brake lathe came with a few bits but I have no idea what or where to get additional bits. They are triangular in shape and I suspect they are carbide, Can anyone provide a part number and source for bits which are suitable...

Paul, thanks for the link with all that great information. It will be very helpful in making my decision. Dubber, I have attached a few photos of the interior and of the current floor surface. This is new concrete a little over thirty days old. As you may notice, I have a sheet of plastic...

Hi All, My new floor is now over 30 days old. I decided I could not stand all the trowel marks so I used my 3 in belt sander to sand the entire floor with 50 grit belts. I obviously used quite a few belts. Today I thoroughly vacuumed the floor with my shop vac. I used a wide stiff brush...

Thanks for the responses. I know nothing about concrete work. I figured a trowel finish would be smooth like my plaster walls. He never mentioned a polished finish to me.The floor is pretty smooth now as a result of my sanding with 50 grit belts. I will power wash it and use a big squeege...

Hello all, I have been what you might call lurking since I joined the forum two years ago. I finally decided to replace the original floor in my carriage house (garage). My contractor removed the old concrete and poured a new floor with 4000 PSI concrete. I wanted a smooth finish which he...
