I have an Dewalt vertical bandsaw that I would like to use to cut metal. From my research I understand it was manufactured by Atlas. It’s a 440 model machine. I purchased it in a lot of tools. I planned to sell it because I rarely cut wood. What would be involved in slowing the machine down for...

Chucks

Good question. He actually did have a lathe, a old Dewalt one. No mill though, but he had a very nice Powermatic 1150 drill press. He would use a fly cutter on it from what I understand. The drill press was the main reason I went. His shop wasn’t very big, when he retired I think he was just...

I bought this with the intention to restore it. It was 3 phase, and I got a old Dayton motor for it but it turns the wrong direction. It’s a great restoration project, I just don’t have the time for it. I will include 2 Jacobs Chucks #34 and #36 for $150

Doc, thank you very much for the reply! The previous owner was a mold maker for fostoria glass, (57-89ish). He was a very talented sculpter. I’ve been researching about this tool, and it does sound much more useful on a mill. I do plan to buy a mill and lathe in the future. For indexing, I...

I am looking for some help or advice. I purchased an entire shop from a local gentleman who was a retired mold maker. One of the tools I got was a Dividing head indexer. I am not a machinist, but I would eventually like to learn more about that trade and get equipment to do it myself. My...

I purchased a complete workshop off of a gentleman. He had a few Items I really wanted, but some others like these I just didn’t need, or don’t want to keep and do damage trying to use it. 99% of my work is metal. Everything is in good working condition. The gentleman is a retired mold maker for...

Should I consider an IR? I know atleast 10 people who own them, but thats why I came here. No one has experience with anything other that IRs and champions. http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Ingersoll-Rand-2475N7.5-FP-Air-Compressor/p769.html

A 5hp shouldn't have a problem for my garage. I need to be able to spray a car, and run a sandblaster. It's a 1 man shop, so I never run more than one tool at a time, that could change though. I just like the idea of overkill, but I know I shouldn't cut corners to save a few hundred bucks. I...

Thanks for those threads I'll read them over. I did notice the 1725 motor rpm, I didn't see anywhere saying what rpm the bel aire ran. One of my concerns is replacement parts. I hate to buy the atlas and end up not being able to buy new rings for it or valves. Sounds like that won't be a...

I've been searching on here for awhile, and have read a lot on this subject but I haven't came across many discussions on atlas air compressors. I'm looking for some opinions and or experience with either of these air compressors. I'm on the fence about which one I should buy. Bel Aire 318vl...
