Trying to figure out if I should add this to my tank setup at my shop. I have a 50hp screw with a big surge tank that is used very seldomly. It is always on, and just turns on with demand. I always love automating things, and wondering if anyone knows of one that works off a sensor or...

Been using vises my whole life, and never really got into them. Always had old beat up ones I found, used them until they broke, and that was that. I need to buy one now, and it seems like I can find old ones on marketplace all over the place for not very much $$$. Some are also very expensive...

Hey everyone. I can think of a bunch of ways to do this but have never done anything like this so thinking some experience would definately help fixing this $5,000 headlight off my brothers Mercedes. It keeps fogging up, I pulled it out and did a smoke test and found the crack under some rubber...

I have a 52-12 gauge air shear that I love, but a 52-10 hyd popped up for sale and wondering if I should jump on it since it was a good deal. My air one is great, I love it. Wondering if I would be doing myself a disservice.

I got this older 3phase 4 cyl compressor with a 7.5 hp I just got up and running. I'm just curious if there was a way to measure CFM output? Wondering how this thing stacks up to other compressors out there in case I something better comes along eventually. I was thinking if I know the gallon...

I found this old compressor for free and wondering if it's worth saving for my home shop. Trying to find info and CFM output. I need a new one and have been picky since I really want a vertical for space savings. it's a 7.5hp 3phase motor (Would need to use a VFD for my house) or depending on...

Hey there! Hooking up an old crusty 3 phase compressor at my home shop. I'm using a VFD to convert it from 3 phase to single (5hp motor) and also wiring in a 4-20ma pressure switch to turn the motor on/off The questions I have are: 1. Guessing i'll set the motor start at 100psi, any...

Hey everyone! A friend of mine came across this and asked if I wanted it for $2500. It is in decent shape, has misc hand tools in it...nothing of which I need. I know these boxes were super popular back in the day, but not sure if it is as desirable or if I should grab it? I have 8 of the...

Hey guys, doing some work on my building and need to order some of these pieces. I have no idea what they are called, or how to even start looking for them. Anybody have any pointers on what they are called, or how to find them? Thanks!

I am surprised that I've had such a hard time finding one. Looking for an oil draining tank to use on a lift with a large catch pan. I am tired of undoing radiator hoses to drain the coolant and having it get all over the place and make a mess. Thanks!

Hey all! Want to get a plasma cutter, but have never used one before. I'm assuming they all work pretty similar correct? Compressed air that blows metal heated up by an arc? I have had good luck with Miller machines, so was looking at maybe picking up one of them. Just wanted to check...
