    Matco triple bay. Bought it!

    Hey by all means, put them on Cults3D and charge for them. I've spent enough hours going back and forth doing trial and error in a CAD program to know that sometimes it's just better to buy the creative work of someone who's already worked it out!

    Matco triple bay. Bought it!

    Hey Mike, are you willing to share the 3D models? Or have you uploaded them anywhere like Thingiverse/Printables/MakerWorld etc?

    ***SOLD*** Champion Air Compressor w/ Kohler Engine

    I got this compressor a long time ago with the idea of setting up a tool trailer for a job that never materialized. It's been stored in my garage ever since, and run probably less than 20 hours total. I keep it on a battery tender and start it once a month or so to run fresh fuel through it...

    What are these machinist-type bolts used for?

    They're called Shoulder Bolts. They're designed to allow a wheel or pulley or something to rotate on the unthreaded shank without being pinched between the head and the nut or threaded mount. A common application is lawnmower wheels.

    Looking for a good mechanics stool.

    Yeah, I had one of the HF POS's like the OP, and it dumped my *** right on the ground, same way. Since then I've been using the "Tailbone" creeper seat. It has its own shortcomings. It has no tool storage tray, and it's not exactly compact, but it's made in the USA and by far the most...

    Free flap wheels from Benchmark Abrasives

    Got mine today, too. Thanks to the OP for sharing this, and thanks also to Benchmark for giving us a chance to try out your products! It didn't hurt that I was out of flap disks right now and thinking about ordering some more.

    REED R Series. Post your Reed date stamps.

    This is cool, I've spent the afternoon reading (almost) the whole thread. I've had a Reed 104 sitting in the shop for years. It's in good shape really, just lightly rusted. I never had any idea about the dates until I went out to look at it tonight. There's an "010" stamped prominently, but...

    Lets see your welding set-ups!

    I got into buying welders and flipping them a few years ago. Had quite a few of them pass through the shop. Even when they were ugly they brought good money. Had Millers, Lincolns, and Hobarts. I have a little 240V Lincoln Pro-Mig 175 for portable work, mostly flux-core. I also...

    Lets see your welding set-ups!

    I have a weakness for welders. Especially so if they have an engine. My current engine drive is a Miller Trailblazer 302. I also have an X-Treme 12VS voltage sensing wire feeder for it. My TIG machine is a Miller Syncrowave 180SD. I added a Bernard water cooler. Current MIG is a Miller...

    Who makes these?

    And providing a little context for that, here's a drilling and tapping quick-reference shop book from the Cleveland Twist Drill company, dated 1942. You can see the same "C" in a stylized diamond logo on the cover.

    Garage Condensation

    That's exactly what happened to me the other day. Things were fine until I decided to take advantage of the warmer weather to do one final oil change on the zero-turn for the year. When I opened the overhead door and let that warm moist air in is when it happened.
