There seems to be a discussion of car projects here but I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question... Does anyone have access to an 80's era catalog for Kelsey Brake Products? I've found an apparently unused Kelsey Brake Piston but I can't locate any information on the...

An eBay purchase arrived in today's mail. The box was in decent condition but the collection of Gears that were within had managed to move during shipment. One of the gears was damaged. Is this repairable? Scott

I am refurbishing a LYON Industrial Table. This work is coming along nicely but... The Table had a couple of LYON Drawer Stacks. These drawers use rollers that are riveted into the drawer sides. Does anyone have a source for replacements of these rollers? Some of mine are...

I think the thread title says it all... I have at least a dozen 1/4"-20 nuts in my fastener collection that need a 10 mm wrench to tighten them. The second picture is a brand new 1/2" long 1/4-20 bolt (7/16" head) with the said nut screwed onto it. What's up with that? Has anyone seen...

Every once and while I need a Staple Gun. The sort of item that would staple fiberglass insulation's paper vapor barrier to the studs. I have a cheap one that jams all the time... Suggestions? I'm looking for something like this: Scott

Hello, Would a moderator please change the title of my thread? New Title: "The Lone Beech Garage (60x46x16)" https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298920 Thank you. Scott

I purchased a Makita 3612BR Plunge Router sometime in the mid-80's. It has served me well for over 30 years. A few days ago the collet appears to have failed. I was routing using a 1/2-inch straight bit (probably about the same age as the router) in 11/32-inch plywood. A bit over 2 feet...

I have a Jacobs 633C Drill Chuck that I'm goofing around with. It uses a collar along with a 33 Jacobs Taper to attach to a Powermatic 1150 Variable Speed Drill Press. The collar threads onto the drill press's spindle. A retaining ring, captured inside the collar, engages a groove in the...

I recently acquired a Rockwell 25-100 11-inch metal lathe with a 3-phase 1-hp motor (Model 86-920) driving a variable speed belt system (Reeves Drive?). Here's the Information Plate on the motor. Can anyone give advise on a proper VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for this application? Scott

I think Advance Auto Parts has bought CarQuest. This eBay seller is selling CarQuest 30298 Pistol Grip Grease Gun for $26 + $10 shipping. This item has both the rigid metal & flexible rubber hose items with the gun. I'm guessing Adavance Auto sold at least some of their CarQuest inventory at...

I recently acquired a JET Vertical Mill. Yesterday I positioned it in my shop but, after the fact, I realized I may have underestimated the distance I needed to set the machine from the wall. Since I have not owned or operated a "Bridgeport" style machine I am ignorant on the limits of the...

I've done the best search I could do on Garage Journal and either I'm doing something wrong or this topic hasn't been addressed in any detail in the past. I pondered for a few minutes as to where the appropriate place to post this topic would be. This seemed like the best place. There seems...

I have a Hubbell-Raco 6299 Round Floor Box Cover on top of a Round Floor Box (Duh - Ha!) This comes with a 3-7/8" diameter duplex cover insert (if duplex is the correct technical term for a standard 120 Volt double outlet). What I need is a similar insert for a single outlet. I've been...

This summer I had Trane Mini-Split units installed in my new garage/shop/office building (see link in signature). These have performed well as air-conditioners during the summer but one of them - serving the upstairs room - is acting a bit weird in the Heat mode. I'm trying to figure out if...

I purchased a BendPak XPR-10A-168 about 2 years ago. A bit less than 2 years later, I got the lift installed in my new shop. I installed the lift in the "Wide" configuration. Today I was going to use my lift to raise my 2000 F150 SuperCab. To my surprise I couldn't reach both the...

I just started putting together a BendPak XPR-10A-168 Two-Post Lift. While I think I could knock out my install eventually, I'm realizing that the installation manual is open to a lot of interpretation. I'm thinking I should do a cost-benefit analysis on experienced installer vs. me. I'd like...

About 2 weeks ago I had the concrete floor of my new building treated. The floor was a mess due to the construction activity that has taken place since it was poured in December. The crew extensively cleaned the floor; did some grinding; put down a densifier; put down a sealer. I'm...

I was wondering if anyone had ever used Alliance Gator Seal Natural Look on their concrete floors. Scott

This topic is posted in the Heating & AC section. Some items are both fish & fowl and thus the posting here for help as well as in the Heating & AC section. I'm looking for folks that have used the Canarm fan controllers with multiple Home Depot (Hampton Bay) 60-Inch Industrial Fans. Please...

I have searched this forum and the Lighting & Electrical forum without success regarding using Canarm Fan Controllers with the Home Depot (Hampton Bay) 60-Inch Industrial Fan. I have 2 rooms in my current build: 4 fans in one room and 3 fans in another. Each room has a single switch box with a...
