I have a Stark 55010 spot welder, essentially the same as the 240V Harbor Freight welder. I need to plug it into an outlet in my garage wired as a 50AMP level 2 car charger. I cannot seem to figure out how to wire it up. The welder will not work when I plug it in but I verified it worked at the...

A friend in Brazil has an old Ryobi BS1001sv bandsaw with a broken blade guide. I've been trying to locate one for him by looking for someone parting out a similar bandsaw but no luck. I realized that a BS903 uses an identical part (assigned a different part number) and I was wondering if anyone...

I have a 1980 built house with an attached garage. The two 9' garage doors are wood framed sections with Masonite panels that in the past few years I've had to selectively cut out and replace due to deterioration. I've added a foil insulation on the inside of the doors to make it a little more...

I have a 113-29920 table saw that I cannot raise the blade on except using a crowbar. On inspection, the retaining ring and steel washer (parts 25 and 33 respectively) on the attached figure are missing. I tried using a washer and C-clip which promptly fell off but I'm not sure if that's the...

I'm trying to get a Hein Werner WS working and I could use some input. The hydraulic fluid is up to the screw on the rear of the tank when horizontal as shown. I can pump the jack piston out about 1" using my foot but no further. Can I do anything short of rebuilding it? Its needed to pull a...

I'm searching for an o-ring, but not any o-ring. This is an elongated o-ring that fits in a boiler on a Breville 800ESXL espresso machine. I couldn't find anything at McMaster Carr and I was told that the material cannot be cut on a laser cutter by my local makerspace. I tried using a round...

I'm trying to reuse a Bosch router case to fit an old Craftsman router. The Craftsman almost fits. The picture shows the Craftsman router almost fitting. The area marked with the green square is what I think is causing the greatest obstruction. In the past, I've adapted cases by cutting out...

I have a Columbian vise with a set of pipe jaws that slip onto the screw. The problem is that they slip off. I'm constantly picking them up off the floor. Is there anything I can do to keep them in place or should I just store them separately from the vise?

I'm getting nowhere getting my Hein Werner jack to hold any weight so I was looking on Facebook/market and found a working Black Hawk S-4 listed. I took a look at it in person today and it does seem to work fine and not in need of a rebuild if you don't mind a little leaking around the hydraulic...

I ran across this on a car forum and thought it might be of interest to those of us with old cars or equipment that uses the old style glass tube fuses. This converter clips into the glass fuse clips and allows a blade fuse to be used. It also comes in handy when using a Fuse Buddy to track down...

I have an old Hein Werner WS 1.5 ton jack that I rebuilt and powder coated. I'd like to replace the data label with something similar to the original as shown in the attachment. I need a good quality straight on picture of one that I can trace. Does anyone have an example that they can post? I...

A local seller has five brand new Wen #4214 drill press heads for $25 each. Unfortunately, no base or columns. Even though its a Wen brand, it seems like a great deal but I'm not sure how to make use of it without a base. Does anyone have an opinion of if this is worth getting and how to make it...

I'm trying to figure out if the sand paper belt goes from left to right or right to left on the attached picture. Note that the picture is not my unit because I'm too lazy to go out to the garage. Also, I noticed that both the side facing you on this photograph and the far side have fittings...

The dust collector attachment for the Delta 22-560/565 planer has been long discontinued. I fabricated one but it's not great. Does anyone have one 3D scanned, resides in NE Ohio and is willing to let me take some measurements off it, or can provide some detailed photographs and measurements of...

This is on Craig's list so it might be gone by the time you read this. I own this saw but not with all these modifications. The only negative I see is it's missing the spreader and kickback preventer on the stock blade guard...

Does anyone know where I can download a pdf of the instruction manual for the Counselor II MT3000A engine analyzer? I have a hard copy but I'm slowly shifting to digital. If all else fails, I could scan it and do an OCR so this is not a critical request. Thanks! Jeff

I found this vice from a local seller and I was wondering if I could just replace the damaged part with an off the shelf acme screw? I've been forced to retire due to Covid and need something to fill my time or I'll go crazy.

I've located a 26Mx1.5 staking nut. Would it be possible to cut 27Mx1.0 threads into it to make a 27Mx1.0 staking nut? BACKGROUND: I've been working on a manual transmission rebuild (Nissan FS5W71B) and ran into a problem locating a right hand staking nut. My older transmission used a 27Mx1.0...

I'm purchasing an OEMTOOLS 5 Ton Puller And Bearing Separator (No. 27236). It's going to take a few days to arrive. I need to extend the arms on it to pull bearings off a transmission. I'd like to purchase threaded rods for this purpose and have them here when the puller arrives. Anyone out...

I have an old Craftsman twin-cylinder compressor. Every few hours of operation, the fan wheel (fly wheel), moves outward away from the compressor causing the fan wheel to fall off. The set screw is still tight but the key becomes mangled. I noticed that the compressor shaft (end of the crank...
