I lived in a rental house for a year without 240v to use my table saw. Then bought a new house and it took me 2 years before I wired the garage for 240v. So 3 years without a table saw. I thought I missed it. The TS is nice to setup repeated cuts, dadoes, or rabbets. Once I started using...

You have only tried the miter saw and determined that festool is junk? You can't fight with common sense and logic? You'll look like an idiot with your vacuum attached to your miter saw in the front yard? You have obviously made up your mind in a one-sided manner that Festool is not worth your...

Picture of table. Caswell black oxide solution mixed with tap water. Wiped down with wax & grease remover (acetone and alcohol mixture). Then, cleared with two coats of diamond clear from Eastwood. Under bright light, it still has a slight orange tone.

Thanks for the tip. I have sporadically used the Caswell black oxide solution over the last 2 years. For the most part, it works as advertised. Last week, I used some on a table that I made. Since a table is too big to submerse, I had to keep it wet for a few minutes by using a foam brush...

Kellogg 331. As long as the tank is good, thats a fair deal. Make sure there are no rod knocking or scraping noises.

I guess i had an oddball. My horizontal tanks are the sizes I stated above. That would make your 80 gallon tank 39" long/tall. OP, to get your approximate tank size, measure the circumference and divide by 3.14. That is your diameter. Then enter length and diameter in inches into this...

^^^^^^ Since you brought it up, I'll report that I solved the problem. I gave the belts a coat of belt dressing, and I swapped the start capacitors with the run capacitors. I'm not sure what resolved it, but it is working now. Maybe the belts were slipping, or one of the run caps was not up...

331's are nice pumps. I used to have one, but never took the unloader apart. If it has a check ball in it, you can give it a tap with a brass drift to help seat the ball.

Measure the circumference and length. There are volume calculators online if you don't remember the math. Pi r 2. I have found that 60 g tanks have a circumference of 63"' and length is 49". 80 g have circumference of 63" and 64" length.

Sorry, I read that too fast and missed that it is the "V"series.

Champion r15 s have a one piece head/cylinder. Might be a chinese knockoff.

Go big or go home.... If you want to blast, sand, or paint. The minimum for what you are asking would be about 60 gallon and 10 cfm. FYI, it is cheaper to use electric sanders, grinders, and sawsall, than run them on air.

I do the old compressor thing as a hobby. You have to be very patient and wait for the right one at the right price. You can easily spend hundreds on the little nickel and dime stuff to fix up an old compressor, such as fittings, valves, gaskets, rings, etc. If it needs a new tank, you wil be...

The r10 has a shorter stroke crankshaft, thus pumping less air. Get a 3hp or bigger. My 3hp motor is not running very well, and it really starts bogging down by 75 psi.

Speaking seriously now, so don't send me to the corner. I've heard of lots of leaking tanks that don't explode. I'd be willing to bet that exploding compressors are the result of rusty tanks AND a safety device NOT doing it's job. But like the last poster said, his old thin tank did not...

To the OP, I think you're wrong. I literally see too many "radio alarm" saws on CL, if you will.

Join the sawmillcreek forum. Excellent woodworking source! You will get a quick response to this question there. For antique "advertised" casters, google "industrial furniture." There is a company at the top of the list that sells them.

Yes. Concept is great, and it will do exactly what i want from it. My only gripe is that it was made in china and the welds leave a lot to be desired. The rotating racking arm is a gimmick. You're just spinning the whole ball valve. I have been wanting to convert a stainless pot to the same...

Nice setup. I don't have enough room in my garage for something like that. I'm still brewing all grain 4-5 gallon batches on the kitchen stove. I try to brew as cheap as i can with the minimal equipment i have. I figure that it costs me about $2.50 per gallon to brew! Although yesterday, my 7...

I have no experience with the Saylor or the knock-off. I read somewhere that the differnce is metric vs. inch, so some parts may not be interchangeable?
