Bought mine about 14 years ago and made sure it worked then put it in the back of my shop where it never got used. My thread about what type of attachment is this ended up with it being a clapper for a very large shaper. So I searched for a thread about the various metal shapers, didn't see one...

Weighs around 60# and the spindle is 9" long tapers from 1-3/4 to 1-1/2. The odd part is that it pivots just shy of 90`. There is a 3/8" keyway in the spindle. Seems to be from a milling device. Doubt that I'll ever use it but it is a good weight to hold things down. Your thoughts. Movin/on

Quite a few year ago I was asked to clean out a closed down ship repair shop and I got to take whatever I wanted except power equipment. It ended up being a huge haul. These shell reamers were scattered all over the place so I crated them up and brought them home. I've got additional but here is...

Got this for $5 at a garage sale. It runs great and is really quite. Ball bearings so it spins for a long time after being switched off. I'll probably restore it but would like to know the manufacturer and approximate date. Thanks for any info Movin/on

I've go quite a few 31 spline 9" axles with the 5.5 bolt pattern. They are cheap and plentiful. But I want to change them to the Ford-Chrysler 5X4.5 BP. I've got a drill press and some of the adapters to put 5.5 BP wheels on the 4.5 axles. So my thought is to use the adapter for a pattern and...

I'm going to be using a 10 gauge 4 wire RV cord to run a 10 amp 220 V motor and wonder what is the best way to eliminate the 4th wire (assuming it's the white neutral). I'm powering a 30 amp 220V switch for the motor. Do I just eliminate/not use the slot in the extension cord and use only the...

I purchased two 10" Lathes (Delta and Delta/Rockwell) and ended up with only one tool holder. I can make one but I'd rather just buy one. I'm not willing to pay too much ($50 or so) The attached Scan shows the holder (item 213) Thanks Movin/on

A member here said my Delta and Rockwell 10" Lathe manuals were not there and referenced a source for a South Bend Lathe article on "how to operate a Lathe". Downloaded it for free. Went to the Vintage site and was flabbergasted. My manuals weren't there and contacted them for sending them a...

Bought one of each from a local steel supplier and think I can combine parts off both to make one nice lathe. I don't have them here yet but will within a week. Are the parts interchangeable or will it be a "what fits best" scenario? Brought the manuals home today and Delta is 1964 and Rockwell...

Info on Astroplasma 450 Plasma cutter I traded tools for one of these about 20 years ago and It's worked ok but it's finicky so I bought a Hypotherm45 and it's great. Now I'm thinking of unloading the Astro... and wonder if it's OK to sell or just scrap. It does use Twico (sp?) consumables...

Wiring a dual voltage motor 220v and 450v I'm building a movable pump cart for a friend and he bought a new stainless steel pump/motor combo for about $600 to $1000 or so dollars. There were no instructions as to how to wire the pump. This motor has a diagram for the circuit but the verbiage...

Did a search but no results on "hex head tap" Is there a set of hex head drive taps available? I need to run taps down a lot of holes to clean/chase the threads and would like to use a drill or ratchet to speed the process. I currently put a square socket on the tap or drive a hex socket onto...

My current setup has a primary tank (80 gallon) set at 110 psi on and 160 psi off. My 2 secondary tanks (80 gallon each) are at my regulated outlet of 90 psi. Currently my cabinet inlet is a regulated 90 psi so my compressor pump starts more frequently. I've just installed a mag. starter switch...

I did a web search and Radicon is the gearbox company, on the machine itself I cant find a tag or nameplate. I got this while cleaning out a closed machine shop. It was modified (single purpose) to bend 5/8" rebar for Crab pots in a 3ft. diameter. I am of the impression it originally was used...

A couple of one-off from friends Cut-O-Matic and Voltbox Both were free and I don't really know if I'll ever use them. Had each for about 10 years NCG Cut-O-Matic motorized AC torch from the WW2 ship building days in SD Ca. I also was given about 6 torch tips 00 thru 3 and a bunch of Misc...

I've got a IR Rand 4000 5HP compressor setup that's been running great for 15 years I leave it on full time and use it daily. About 2 weeks ago woke up about 2 AM from noise coming from my shop about 125 ft. away and it sounded like someone with a hit and miss engine in my shop. Ran up and found...

about 12 years ago bought a JET 18COM (Cut Off Machine) and it worked great, I bought it cheap ($150) and it included 10 new blades. Well after quite a few cuts it blew one of the starting capacitors while it was running. It was wired for single phase and started really quickly. Bought 2 new...

Bought these about 8 years ago from a closed down General Contractor (all 3 for $40) and I'm getting ready to refurbish them. Wonder what the value is and what they would be after a total redo of paint and mechanicals with a non-stock color. Green is just wrong in my shop. Hope the pictures...

The box is a Waterloo older version but was stuffed with tools. (5 five gallon buckets). For some obscure reason there were 6 torque wrenches 7 hack saws and probably 70 sets of pliers. of the 1000+ sockets only about 100 were Plomb, S-K, Snap On and Proto. Many were the geometric CM and...
