It's definitely a cool piece, and someone could put it to use, but not for a beginner. Changing belts every time to shift gears ***** ***.

Can't make tools in the U.S.A. anymore, and sell the individual units for anything less than a fortune. All your workers want top notch wages, pension plans, health plans. All for what? Pressing a button on a punch press? Installing a wrench head and nut onto a body? There is a reason everyone...

Should be 5/8"-18 thread with a 3/16 pilot.

Buy a good 3/8 and 1/2 ratchet. The rest of the **** on the truck will just be you starting your career in debt. Don't listen to all the elitists who enjoy having a tool mortgage.

I really like the idea of the fold out covers, I'm used to it with my current tool storage! I missed out on a VERY nice Mastercraft Professional 2-piece set that sold for $550 the day before, even had a drawer on the lower box that was meant for your wallet and other personal belongings that had...

Two Beach boxes, $450. Was going to go stateside to replace my 3-piece 27" toolbox from Harbor Freight, but with the dollar the way it is, it wouldn't make sense. Going to combine the top box in the first picture with the bottom box in the second picture. Both boxes are barely used, good...

Close enough. There's 8. 4 Record No.6, found 2 under a welders bench, he said rebuild and send them off to someone else in the shop to be put to use. RIGID 6" swivel mechanics vise, bought for our pipefitters when the 8" Ridge tool co. 81P broke (wish I had the Vise bug back then, I would have...

60 Gallon Devilbiss 2-stage compressor with a true 5hp motor, run 120v or 240v. Have a good 15' run of #8 3-wire in liquid tight conduit I can throw in for the price. Ran good when I first bought it, motor went, installed a new one along with a gauge set manifold, then lost motivation to finish...

The news outlets tell everyone to lift with your legs. It's all a sham. The key is to put it all in your groin and your back, take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion. I grabbed this old stainless stand from the barn, old display stand...

If you've got anything around the 300-350 range I'll walk away with one! :rocker:

European 6" for $25! http://www.kijiji.ca/v-hand-tool/st-catharines/6-inch-vise/1096444663?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

I was going to say nothing special, you can buy just under that for $500 new at home depot... but it has a 7hp motor, 2 stage compressor, auto drain... It is pretty good, but not $4600 new good.

Don't see why it wouldn't be. Welders don't need to be hardwired. I have mine on a 50' 12/2 cord with a plug on the end and it's fine on it's 15a breaker.

155psi 60-80gallong is 3.7HP 5HP peak, 12-14a draw.

It's a $300 drill, not $3000, and a tool, not a gun.

Saw a nice blacksmith vise and stand and posted it here last week, but ended up missing out on buying it. This morning I purchased this from a fellow in Bobcaygeon. 173lbs, 7 1/4" jaws, 37" from the bottom of the foot to the top of the jaws. Paid just under $1.25/lb! I'm going to make a nice...

The trouble is moving it. That machine will need a good forklift to lift it onto whatever heavy duty trailer you've got, then a forklift to unload it unless you plan on taking it apart. Usually a full size turret mill is between 1800-2600lbs, with the base being the bulk of the weight. Hell...

Saw this on Kijiji, shame it's a 6-hour drive from me. That stand looks beastly! http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles/windsor-area-on/antique-blacksmiths-leg-vise/1090449936?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Okay thanks guys. I'll give it a shot with some WD40 on a rag, and I'll keep a look out for some Johnson's Paste Wax.

Anyone have any tips on keeping exposed metal on them from rusting? 3 of my cleaned up vises are covered in rust after a week in the shop.
