This looks like a brad pusher but I'm looking for confirmation. There are no adjustments. The center shaft is spring loaded. When the top is left pushed (the red "button") the Jaws open. In the photo where the jaws are open the center shaft is fully extended so??? Thanks Sent from my Pixel 2...

I have a Jenny single stage GU pump that I converted to electric from a gasoline engine. When doing so I did some research regarding the unloader. The gas was set up as continuous run and my electric is set up as start/stop. I forget where I got the information but it led me to believe that I...

This would be to replace the centrifugal switch that controls the start capacitor in a 5 hp 23 amp single phase air compressor motor. Anyone replace a centrifugal switch with a potential relay? My switch is done and costs much more than a potential relay. Thanks Galaxy S4, Slimkat If I...

I know about contractortalk.com but it isn't a very active site. Anyone know of a better forum for general contractors? I am looking to get my license again and would like advice on taking the NC test. Things seemed to have changed quite a bit since I had my license 20 years ago. Thanks Galaxy...

If this forum doesn't encourage car repair questions please feel free to delete this post. I have a 2004 Dodge diesel ram 3500. A few weeks ago I got into it and the brake pedal felt higher than before. My son had to drive it one day while I did the brakes and steering boot on his Subaru. I...

My son is opening a Taco joint and I am pulling up grip tape off the kitchen floor. I've used every type of thing I know of in the past and it's never a fun job removing the residual adhesive. This stuff is as bad, or worse, and it is truly a pia. Anyone one know if the best stuff? Even...

Went to the cramps flea market today. Got a nice leather belt. Handmade here in the great USA. Also got a box of 50 tungsten carbide blades. I gave 5 class for the box. The dude said these were carpet blades. I knew they were like no other carpet blades I've seen. These are scary sharp. Like...

My DP is howling so I'm trying to get to the bearings. It's a Wilton 2015 I believe. It's the 20" model with the variable speed which is accomplished via two vs pulleys and a wide belt. I removed the top bearing and found the grease has dried to a crumbly and hard mess. The next bearing, under...

I responded to another thread but figured I'd start another. Anyone use the spray foam kits? I have a 33X22 shop with very high ceiling and no insulation. It's been built for several years and I'd love to have insulation. Galaxy S4, Slimkat If I wasn't married I'd quit fishing :)

I was supposed to start restoring an old mill but th s been pushed aside due to my old Sheldon getting a new coat. I had to repair the apron and, while it was off, decided to repaint behind the lead screw. This has escalated into a full repaint. The lathe has at least 5 coats of paint and I've...

I have restored a fair number of wood and metal working tools. I have had a small Wells Index vert mill for years sitting in my shop. It is old and ugly kinda like me but I walk by it and always get a twinge of woe knowing that I need to get started on restoring it. I am not going to scrape the...

Just throwing this out here. We during if folks that use grainger know they have clearance items. Some items are not discounted it seems but some are discounted to an extreme. Galaxy S4, Slimkat If I wasn't married I'd quit fishing :)

I know there are tons of vise threads here a D I've spent hours looking. Still haven't seen any for replacing the T slot jaw inserts? I have a columbian 605 M2 bench vise. It's a swivel base vise and opens to almost 9". The jaws are worn and are not hardened. Maybe they were originally just...

I'm into rebuilding a compressor. It's a four cylinder electric (converted from gas) emglo which is now Jenny. It sat inside my shop for a couple of years and when I tried to fire it up it said, "not today". Short story it needed cylinders and valves at minimum. I'm also doing rings and crank...
