Looking for quality US-made solid carbide drill bits including Monster, Atrax, Kennametal, Guhring, M.A. Ford, Interstate, etc. I especially need 3/16" and #9 jobber-length drill bits. Thanks.

Guys, just bought a Grizzly G0704...upgrading basically from the small HF mini-mill. Wanted something a little bigger, heavier but still somewhat introductory and relatively affordable. I've seen nothing but good reviews on this machine and for my needs and work space, it suits me fine. Quick...

Guys, I just finished my 1962 Clausing 16SC restoration....just need to add the badges and the belt guard door knob. I've added some pictures for your reference. I'm needing to add a good vise now...I'm thinking a 4"-5" cross slide vise similar to the Wilton 11695 also shown here...

Guys, I'm about done with my restoration project on my 1962 Clausing 16SC drill press. Couple of small parts that still need attaching but for the most part the biggie is getting the motor wired up to the cord. I took it apart to strip and then paint the motor. I've attached a couple of pictures...

Guys, wanted to get an experts opinion on a decent beginner's setup for light torch use. I'm a hobbyist gunsmith...mostly build up Cold War Era rifles G3, FALs, etc. All of my work that requires skilled TIG work is sent off to a guy who does the work for me. Since I don't want to butcher a $300...

Guys I'm clearing out some tools that I have....some I'll never use and others I have doubles off so I wanted to get a value of what I should expect on Flea-bay or perhaps in the Classifieds here. I have Husky USA socket set. All parts are there and is only missing the metal case that it...

I'm about ready to begin painting all of the parts on my Clausing DP resto. I properly stripped all of the parts of their original paint, blasted them in my cabinet, and have applied Rust'O'Leum white primer to all of the parts. Here's where I'm at so far...

Guys, I'm no expert as it relates to metal fabrication. I have a vintage Clausing DP that I used to drill holes into thin steel and that's pretty much about it. I have some limited experience running the Sieg X2 clones (which are very small) but nothing any bigger than that. I've been thinking...

Steevo's custom workbench setup inspired me to build my own. This is going to replace one of those flimsy Craftsman 8' workbenches. Since I have no real welding experience, I had my local welder fabricate the frame for me. I have 2 International 42" boxes that will slide down from the top and...

What's the matter with this? http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10155_12602_009H0184000B?keyword=impact+socket+set&prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=L1 It says, Craftsman 93 piece impact socket set AND the other impact tool set, gloves, and air hose for $59.99 when you bundle the products together...

I highly doubt this is a made up factory but are all Husky cabinets made in Canada? http://www.diynetwork.com/videos/husky-tool-chest-video/21944.html I was in Home Depot today and saw a 52" (approximately) roller cabinet with wood top for $389. I didn't stop to look at it but it looked...

Just got my Craftsman 299 piece socket set in the mail. There was a TON of sockets in there and no, I will never use them all. But who cares, I have them if I need them and the price was right. I was only missing 6...I hope a quick call to customer service will resolve that issue. I went from...

Folks, I thought I'd share my socks preferences. I know it's minor and it doesn't necessarily fall into the realm of tools and such but I have been wearing Wright Socks exclusively for about 3 years. They are Made In the USA and they're pricey...about $10 a pair....but that pair will last you...

Guys, looking at putting a couple of these together within a custom made frame and possibly a wood top to use as a workbench. I've been torn between these International boxes and the 44.5" HF model. I did the price calculations and it comes out to be just north of $1000 w/tax and free shipping...

New compressor just arrived...PLEASE BLESS MY PLUMBING LAYOUT Guys, my new Ingersoll Rand compressor just showed up and I'm eager to get it going. I have a nice spot in the corner of my garage picked out and it's conveniently right on the other side of my breaker box. We managed to run wire...

Hello there...I'm a new member that has a problem with a compressor that I recently purchased and would like a hand from some experts here on a possible solution. I recently purchased an Ingersoll Rand 5 HP, 60 gallon, 3 phase air compressor from a shop that was going out of business. I picked...
