    Compressor Motor Sizing

    I've to a 3hp 9.3cfm at 90psi compressor with a 30gal tank. The tank has a leak on the bottom near the drain. Yeah, I know that's fatal. I've found a 5hp 60gal compressor, the US General US660V that has a motor that runs hot and shuts down, for a price too cheap to pass up. What's the chance I...

    What the heck are these for?

    I picked up this cool Goodyear parts cabinet. Among other stuff in the drawers I found these aluminum screw sets. The guy I bought it from couldn't remember what they were for. Any ideas? I can't think I will need them and if somebody has a good use for some I'll send a bunch your way (as long...

    Problem with Bench Grinder

    I've got a pretty heavy duty buffer/grinder mounted on what used to be an old cargo grate (found under a porch ,guessing it's pretty old, but solid as a house). The other day, the door of the cabinet was open as as the garage door went up it got hooked on it and before I could stop it, it fell...
