I bought this really nice Clausing 20 variable speed drill press off an industrial auction site. $180 after fees. It came equipped with a 460v motor, which is being replaced by a Baldor M3607 1.5 horse motor. I’ve looked and looked and really can’t find any guidance on pulling a variable speed...

I have 1 gallon of Sherwin Williams Urethane Alkyd Enamel, in a custom mix of Champion Green, for an air compressor I was going to restore. I sold the compressor and bought a brand new one so I don't need the paint. Come pick it up in Northern KY or Cincinnati for free. I may dip out a quart or...

Hello folks, I was hoping someone could provide a little assistance getting a curing oven going I just bought. The large ID tag says Wilson Manufacturing, in Long Beach, CA and I cannot seem to find anything where they built ovens, there is a couple small tags that say Heraeus, and...

So I just picked up an older Dayton 1/4 horse. 24" fan for my garage. It wasn't wired up so not sure if it even works, but I'm confused on how to hook the wiring up. The cord was cut off, and the fan is rid of its pull switch for high/low, but it is a 2 speed motor. I picked up some 14/2...

I just installed a new old stock Modine PD50 heater, converted it from NG to LP and it's working good, now I just have to vent it out of my garage. I waited until I got it working well before wanting to cut a hole in my roof. I'll be running it out per the manual in 4" B Vent pipe. The manual...

Hey everyone, I had a quick question I was hoping to get some answers to, I bought a nice Champion 80 gal compressor for use at home, and it came with an auto tank drain, and still has a petcock at the bottom to drain water off, with a supply line from the bottom drain up to the auto drain...

Hello everyone, I just bought a new 80 gallon vertical compressor for Champion, I have an older one I was going to rebuild but I took the easy way out. So now I have this thing leveled, and isolated and located in its resting place, I just have to wire it up to make her hum. Here is where I am...

I have quite a few manuals, textbooks, repair manuals for motorcycles and the like, that I would like to store in the garage. I currently have them taking up a deep drawer in a toolbox, and some stored in the house, but I would like to get them all out to the garage. I weld, grind, paint, and...

So I am refurbishing an older Champion compressor and on my way home, bought some Sherwin Williams DTM Acrylic paint. I wanted to buy enamel, but they said it should do everything I wanted it for. But as I read, acrylic shouldn't be put over oil based which I'm sure the compressor was painted...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a little advice for an on/off switch for my air compressor, which is an older 5HP champion. I am looking to hardwire it into the wall, and the disconnect will be the breaker which is just a few short feet away from the compressor. What I'd really like to do is wire...

I have a Kurt D60 vise I recently blasted and am regrinding for my Bridgeport, I've purchased some Rustoleum Ford Blue or some color like that, but I was curious whether or not I should prime this vise, or should I just spray the blue color direct over metal? Or prime first?

Hey folks I'm seeking a little help or opinions on my 8" baldor grinder. After waiting entirely too long on my multitool attachment from Vansant I'm ready to put it together. The first thing you have to do to make room for the belt sander attachment is to remove the original 8" wheel and guard...

Good lord, I guess this is just a vent, and a little advise to others. Call and get confirmation of product in stock before you order. Today is the 28th of October and I ordered a 4x36 multi tool attachment for my grinder back on the 5th of September and still no sight of the product. They say...

Hey folks, I'm looking at possibly purchasing a leblond lathe listed for sale locally that was dropped when they were moving it. Seller says it's about a 12x30, the machine looks great in pictures with the exception of all the knobs and handles busted off. Listed for $1350, would you consider...

Okay folks, I'm trying to figure out a way to wire up a Bridgeport mill in my garage. I don't have one yet, and figuring this out is one thing I must do. I'm looking to get a 1.5-2 hp variable speed unit... I've read of some of the different types of converters out there but I'd really like to...

Hey folks, I am selling a Clausing drill press model 1756. Step pulley unit, with a 3 phase motor. I do not know the condition of this motor, but do know the drill press operates correctly as it should, because I took the single phase motor off of this one, and replaced it with the 3 phase...

I'm not 100% certain on these electrical things. But I recently purchased a used Champion compressor and want to purchase a new mag starter for it. It has a 5 hp Dayton motor on it, which draws 23.5 amps, single phase. It looks to me that a NEMA class 1 mag starter is required. Is this correct...

I bought a really sturdy table off of Craigslist, with metal lets and a 30" deep by 92" wide butcher block top. The table is old and has been used and abused. I see some separation of the wood sections in the top and was hoping someone could point me to a good adhesive to stick these back...

Been keeping my eyes peeled for the past month or so for a good 60 or 80 gallon compressor to suit my needs. I don't really require a ton of air, but in the future I may want to sandblast something or so some other heavy work with a compressor so I wanted an older industrial unit. I finally...

I've finally got my garage built, and dragged one of my 15" clausing drill presses out of the barn to refurb. I have followed some threads here closely but not made a decision on paint, not much info from people regarding paint it'd seem. Anyway, I want to paint it a wrinkle or "hammered"...
