Looking for a 14" Wood/Metal Vertical Bandsaw near Charlotte NC Preferably an old Delta/Rockwell. A Project Saw would be nice so i could do maintenance/upgrades at the same time. Willing drive within 4 hours.

This is the only advantage of having to change the head... I messed with these 2 front valves for 2 weeks. Heat, many different kinds of penetrants. I was putting so much force, i was worried about breaking my socket. Figured it would be better to just cut them out, save the valves and socket...

Yes, worked great so far. I have put a ton of force on it trying to break the valves loose with a breaker bar. Should be alot easier on the socket just retourqing them. You can see in the pics i actually cut too deep, there are grooves on each side of point. Thinking about it.. the grooves may...

It comes factory with an unloader valve/throttle control valve. Same setup that are on all my gas powered compressors. Once it hits a certain psi, the throttle control valve throttles the engine down and the excess air is let out the side of the unloader valve through a muffler. Here is a video...

My thoughts exactly... but I am trying everything possible. My shed is somewhat near my neighbors house, so i am trying to be courteous to them and the whole neighborhood. In the summer, i am going to build a small lean-to on my shed to house it. I bought a 2 stroke muffler to attach to the...

My compressor pump right now has just an oil plug. Every compressor i have had had this same issue... take the plug out an oil goes all over! I have built a few drains in the past with just an extension/elbow. This time i bought an oil drain, with a screw plug and a hose fitting built in. I like...

My goal is to make the compressor as quiet as possible. I did a lot of research on here and found out that a lot of the noise comes from the intake. Most threads said to use an elbow and the biggest filter you could afford. So I ended up getting a Solberg F-31P-200. It is rated at 135 scfm...

I was fortunate to get 4 brand new industrial air dryers for free. They are big units made by Pneumax. Luckily one of them had a fitting large enough that screwed right into the tank. The dryer will be at a wall, so i put a 90* elbow on it and a ball valve to shut off the air if need be. I will...

Here is the bottom drain that i designed. I have made a lot of them over the years and learned lots of lessons. I hate how its only 1/4 npt... way too small in my opinion. **** always clogs the hole (when i removed the original valve, it was completely caked behind it). I normally prefer all...

Well i got about 95% of the parts ordered to put it back together... its has taken a lot of research to build it exactly how i want. I will try to post each individual project. I bought it without an engine, luckily i found this brand new 11HP Honda GX340 on Craigslist for a good deal...

Here is the final tool. Ended up using a 3/4 8-point Proto, 1/2 drive Impact Socket. Cut it with a ginder, and filed the rest by hand. It took a few hours to fine tune it to make sure it was all square. It cost $10 + the time. I had the time and would rather use the $40 savings to upgrade...

Luckily the intercooler did not get damaged. It probably got hit on the bottom and put a lot of stress where it connects to the head. The bolts that went into the head were bent. The broken parts off the head are in many pieces. Plus i need the opposite head to put the intercooler on the right...

Hey Guys, For the last 10-15 years i have been fighting with air compressors... like most do. Never enough air... and the air you do have is watery/greasy. I have been sand blasting and need more air. I do all my work in my shed and have limited power... so my only option is gas. I currently...

Well here it is! Its not perfect by any means but it looks better than it did. I decided to add a few custom touch's to it. I painted the face red and added a white snap-on decal. The only snap-on logo is in the front, and it cant be seen when the tool box is in use. The decal is an exact...

Well i started looking around and found this handle for $40 http://machinistchest.com/site/product_details.php?category_id=55&item_id=23 That was way more than i wanted to pay considering i only paid $25 for the whole box, plus i wasnt crazy over the way it looked (i would have got black) Got...

Here is a K21 i just picked up off of craigslist for $25. It seems to be in great shape for its age (i think 1936-1939). It has a removable top tray and 2 drawers. The top drawer has 4 slots and the bottom has a small tray that slides. The paint on the underside of the bottom drawer is almost...
