    Vise Info Thread

    The earliest versions of this vise had individual hardened steel teeth, stacked in steel(?) cases to make up the pipe jaws.

    Delta 7” bench grinder 23-105 repair questions

    You'll find lots of info on these under "Delta Triple Duty grinder". Nice score, they're super quality and powerful. Be careful with wire wheels: when they grab on these machines they grab hard. My finger is still recovering from getting slammed down onto that cast iron housing. I was...

    1920-60s DELTA / ROCKWELL picture thread - Post your Delta!

    Picked up a Delta 7" bench grinder recently badged as Tauco for about $30 USD. Probably purchased somewhere "offshore" and brought back to these parts on a ship or a train. Missing the end covers, but I guess there's no spares out there! Best bench grinders I've ever used.

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT My new garage in Wales

    Hills or spoil/slag heaps in the background? Have to say those post-WWII monoculture plantations of mostly non-native trees in the UK always seem weird and out of place.

    Hein-Werner "Winner Series" 10 Ton Porta-Power seal kit: where to find?

    I'd appreciate any tips on where to find such a kit, or at least a cross reference to its H-W part number. The Porta-Power part number appears to "M1586": that is on the pump and cylinder/ram. T.IA.!

    Re store finds

    One problem with Restore is the people they hire are usually GenX/Y/Z types who know so little about tools, raw materials and hardware they cannot tell what will sell and what won't and so turn away perfectly good stuff. Around here they've taken to refusing open boxes for some unknown reason...

    Just picked up a RAE No.5 at a garage sale and didn't even have it long enough to take a photo!

    Good old Welsh slate: used to roof the world or a lot of it.

    Tools of Japan

    Very nice, they later went to two or three post design IIRC. I had a Hitachi F1000A which was a very similar machine. Did lots of great work for me.

    Above 1200 Sq/FT The Salvage Garage

    Metal objects being painted dry a lot faster and probably better if you play a torch over the surface until the moisture in the pores of the metal is evaporated off. The paint goes where the moisture was.

    Pry bar nail puller made in Japan

    Typical small Japanese crowbar configuration, but that one probably goes back to the 50s or 60s. Now they are die stamped in one piece with the joint between the dies visible all around the edges. Probably a very good tool. We all know about Japanese swords to some extend, but worth...
