TL:DR RAS came from Auction, wiring was shot, having trouble figuring out correct wiring. Skip to post 2. So I just had a huge Radial Arm saw follow me home... Found a listing on Facebook for a large Rockwell Turret arm saw. The wife had listed it for her husband, and they knew almost nothing...

Craftsman grinding attachment. Bolts on where a tool rest would sit. It has adjustments for both angle as well as a handle for lateral (side-to-side) motion. $30 plus shipping. Sent from my IN2015 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Went thru my stock of magazines, and have culled out duplicates I have acquired over the years. All Magazines are in great shape, at most is very minor edge wear on the spine. Each Magazine is $4, and I would prefer to sell a complete year together for $25 (6 magazines +$1 for a complete year)...

Picked up a SawMaster 3100 that looks to be complete, but disgusting (covered in old grease/oil/swarf). The biggest part missing is the name badge that goes on the upper arm. It has the two pins which hold it on. Does anyone have either: A spare they would be willing to sell? (Ideal) Or the same...

Putting this here, as well as Classifieds, to hopefully get enough exposure. Picked up a SawMaster 3100 that looks to be complete, but disgusting (covered in old grease/oil/swarf). The biggest part missing is the name badge that goes on the upper arm. It has the two pins which hold it on. Does...

Hey All, I just picked up a 20HP 3ph motor that I plan on turning into a Rotary Phase converter, and eventually running the output to a 3ph panel, so I can just wire everything together without having to move anything around. I have been watching various RPC builds on Youtube, and seeing...

So as I am slowly cleaning up my shop, I am realizing I have a few different torque screwdrivers around. And I have no idea how to tell if they are in spec or not. Most of them only go up to about 50 in-lb (about 4ft-lbs). I know how to test a torque wrench with weights and math, but not sure...

After much research, I think I have figured out what I need to do for running a subpanel into my garage. But, since I am not as experienced as some on here, figured I would turn to the group for final confirmation and suggestions. Tried to bold what I think is the most relevant information. The...

As I organize my shop, and get used to having full workbenches and enough cabinetry for small parts, I am beginning to wonder how to best utilize the bottom trapdoor parts of my toolboxes. Whenever I buy a new box, it seems like they have become a catch-all for whatever didn't fit easily in...

Hey all, I have several Craftsman Nextec tools that I have picked up cheap. I know Menards offers a 12v masterforce line that has some identical tools (drill and impact driver). They also have some options that Craftsman doesn't carry. I remember reading somewhere that the batteries were 95%...

Hey All, Trying to figure out the best way to do his. Have a box store 60gal vertical and found a steal on a Quincy 230 compressor head. Want to meld them together, but running into a few issues. First, the current plate the motor/compressor head fits on has an open space only 8" deep, and the...

So I have a 3d Printer, and am looking to make custom inserts for my toolboxes, so things don't wander off. Teaching myself 3D CAD (previously messed around slightly in 2D land), and got to wondering if anyone started compiling files of the more common tools. Doesn't have to be interior shapes...

So tried to find some information about these, but either the search terms I put in were off, or nobody had an opinion before this (highly doubt it is the latter). Looking to find a set for decent money, without breaking the bank. Not a machinist, most of this will be for reproduction work on a...

Hey Guys, Looking to fill out an early 20's set of Indestro. The ones I am looking for have a knurled band and 5-pt stars on either side of the number. Looking for the following: 6-pt 1/2sq drive 21-32 23-32 3-4 13-16 1 4-pt 1/2sq drive 5-16 7-16 1-2 9-16 11-16 6" Male-Male Extension Male...

So I have an older CM air compressor that I scavenged the regulator for, only to find out it doesn't seem to hold pressure across the range. Anyone know how to fix one of these? Sears Parts says No replacement available. Regulator is a RE-2026, compressor is a 106.154580. I know the knob on the...

Was watching one of the auction sites I visit, and looks like someone who was very into GREEN passed away, and the family is liquidating the estate. Costs way too much to ship this stuff, so passing it along in hopes that someone nearby can grab something. Auction ends on 12/6 ~8pm EST. Parks...

All prices are net to me, shipping is not included. I will ship whatever way buyers choose (usually small flat rate is the cheapest). All prices are OBO. Buy 4 of a type, get one free (All wrenches count as one type, each drive size is a type). Certain items in a category may be more, they are...

So I have a small direct-drive paint sprayer, and the motor has always needed a kick-start to get moving. Will hum until I help start it spinning, and then decides to move. So I decided to open it up and see what was going on. Besides a ton of dust/grime/etc, I ran across a few things where I...

I can personally count on one hand the number of times I have needed a socket bigger than 1", but I know some guys work on bigger stuff than me. And some guys just like the really old vintage stuff. No promises, but if you are interested, let me know and I can see if I can get over there and...

So I picked up an old Craftsman 3/8" drill (the saw handled aluminum body version) a bit ago, and plugged it in to use it. Saw a bit of sparking and the trigger was a bit finicky, so I figured I would check the brushes and make sure they were in decent condition. Pulled one out, was solid black...
