I just purchased two Grizzly 20" drill presses. I had to take both of them. ($200 for both) It took two to make one. Now I have just the one left and trying to find if any value in trying to sell it as is or scrap it (junk yard) I have often seen 17" listed on face book with broken casting or...

I have a Grizzly g 7948 drill press. There is a nylon nut that holds the pulley on. Does any one know what that should be torqued at? I read one article and fellow said Grizzly didn't know. I can't believe that you cant get any info from Grizzly. They say the G7948 has been discontinued and no...

i am having a problem with my mig powering up. No brand name on it but has a Yes welder gun on it. Turn welder on and everything seems to work, wire feeds, gas works but no arc, I will fool around with it for about five minutes, moving shaking leads, tapping on welder, turn it off and back on...

I have a old pressure washer with 1.25 hp Baldor motor. Sold by Northern Hydrulics. Star brand 1500 psi 2.1 gal per min. weighs about 35 lbs. Its one of those things I seldom use and got neglected., and pushed back in corner. ( good stout frame with tube tires) Water was left in pump and...

I have a Miller 250 mig at my shop but sometimes I have a small welding job I need to do at home and the Miller is too big to load up. I was looking on FB for a decent cheap one. I seen this one advertised for $150. with cart and wire including regulator. I contacted the guy and he could not...

I have a 18' trailer that I would like to repaint and parts of the safety stripe is pretty tore up. How is the easiest way to completely remove all the stick on safety reflective striping? Can I use a 80 grit sander on it or will it just smear the glue from the heat?

I purchased a Goldak PB44 feerit pipe locator. It has a flushable sonde, that you flush down the toilet or clean out to locate septic tanks and lines. It works on 119 kHz. I am trying to find a spare sonde for it. Most of all the new ones work on 512. Does any one have a source where I...

I supposed this has been discussed before (if so point me to the thread). I bought a set of sockets from Matco years ago and it wasn't long before I threw them away. You couldn't see the sizes stamped on them. I was going through my drawer yesterday doing some reorgnizeing. I have a tap and...

I know this is sort of off topic for this forum but I am sure some one out there can steer me in the right direction. I have always wanted a free standing grandfather clock but they are so expensive. I was at a flea market a few weeks ago and got a nice one for $50. It is a Clonal Zeeland...

Need your opinion on a FMC 601 brake lathe and a Ammco 4000. I owned a Ammco at one time and sold it. Have a chance to buy another one and a FMC 601. Both are same price. Any one ever own a FMC 601? Any problems?

I was at a flea market and picked up 2 gal of Rustolum Epoxy floor paint (water based I think, not two part) for $10. I just couldn't resist. Really didn't give much thought what I would use it for. I have a cargo container storage box. It could use a new coat of paint on the roof. How...

I just got a 14,000 to 26,000 BYU vent less heater. (used) Fireplace type. We had a elec. 1500. watt (fire place type) and we found it a lot cheaper to use it most of the time rather than kicking on our furnace. But during real cold weather it just wasn't large enough. I understand that a...

I have about 300 gal. of waste motor oil I have to take out of a tank and put in 55 gal barrels. Draining it into buckets and pouring it in is too messy and time consuming. I am thinking of putting a connection in the bungs and hooking a small shop vac. pump to it. Would it vac it out without...

I recently picked up a old Black & Decker bench grinder. Made in the good old USA 1978. Almost all bench grinders are made in China now. I noticed I had to give it a spin with my hand before it would take off. I opened it up and there is a small magnetic relay inside. One wire from the...

Couple of questions relating to impact wrenches. I went to take the tires off big truck (Kenworth) I just bought. I have a 3/4 drive old Black & Decker impact that I have had for years and probably worn some, but it has always removed the lug nuts on my 6000 GMC. I had to take it to a truck...

I have a 2000gal septic pumper truck tank that I have to paint inside. The tank has already been cleaned up inside, (descaled, and wire brushed) primed with a rust blocker, sealer type of paint (I think water based of some type, $150 a gal) I have a fresh air supply breathing mask. I plan to...

There is nothing more frustrating than buying a $10 tube of calking, glue, sealer etc. Use a small amount for a small job and go to use it again 6 months and its hard or dried out. Inventors: Why couldn't some one make 4 smaller tubes with a small calking gun. Then you just fill all 4 when you...

I have a old Logan lathe that the leather link v-belt finally rotted. I didn't want to take the lathe apart and install a regular v-belt so I bought one of the new poly-v- belts. It has to be adjusted too tight to prevent slipping. Does any one still make leather v-belts and if not do you...

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4238511#post4238511 I had seen a Hpyperthern 1250 on Craig List for $500. With no Cables. (he said they had been stolen) I posted on here and some said I might be buying a boat anchor, others said take a chance. I was trying to find...
