Is there a reason a person would take one over the other in larger sizes, say 400mm? To me they look like they are essentially the same thing.

Hi guys, I'm looking to do a custom painted cowling for a project I'm working on. I have e enough experience painting that I can complete it myself. But I would like to have a distressed flag look to it, so I want to have a stencil of sorts. I want to lay down one color, put my stencil on, and...

I'm working on doing a quick restoration on my Quincy compressors, and I'm looking for a good way to straighten some of the compressor fins. Does anyone have a good way of doing this? I tried a typical rad fin straightener, but the spacing is too large, and the straightening tool is not strong...

I have 2 Quincy 325 compressors, and I would like to convert one to be used in a gas-powered truck-mounted application. I have a few questions regarding this process. 1. I'm assuming I will need to convert this pump to unloading. How is that done? 2. Do I need a pressure controlled throttle for...

Good afternoon, I just purchased a Milwaukee 7 1/4" miter saw. It seems to be a nice piece of equipment, but the slides are super rough. It feels like the bearings are shot before I've even used it. There is no slop in the bearings, they are just rough when sliding. I went back to the tool...

Iam looking to see what sort of systems you guys use for organizing ongoing projects. I work on quite a few boats and often they need to be pulled out of the shop to make room while we are waiting on customer response, parts, etc. I don't want to put the parts in the boat and risk having them...

Hi guys, I'm wondering if you guys have come across this. I am trying to buy 3 of the 44" HF toolboxes but I am from Canada. No problem, I do this all the time, have it shipped to a US boarder town, and go pick it up. Easy peasy. BUT.... HF ONLY takes credit cards from US addresses! I've...

Does anyone know what the red selant is that you see on some new NPT thread fittings? I'm looking but cant find anything. I would like something that, if possible, I could pre apply, let dry, and then assemble. It needs to be fuel resistant and good for only about 150PSI. IT will be used on...

I'm looking for a valve spring compressor that can be used to take the shims off of a shim over bucket system without pulling the camshafts. I'm told this exists and looks sort of like a fork that compresses the spring using the bucket itself.

I'm looking for a replacement bleed valve or volume test valve for a fuel pressure tester. Does anyone know where I can source quality valves like this? I'm trying to build a specific fuel pressure tester, and am looking for some parts. Thanks, Blake This is what I am trying to make. So I...

Hi Guys, I am looking at expanding my testing equipment with a backflushing setup. I have attached a picture of a backflush holding tool I would like to make. It is not availbie for purchase separately, only as a complete machine, which I do not need ($10,000). I'm looking for the spring plunger...

Hi, I am looking for a pump that will be able to **** oil from an engine. I have tried a pump, which worked but the oil caused it to fail. The requirements I have are: - Must be suitable for oil, possibly some fuel - Must be able to **** through roughly a 50' hose - 25' MINIMUM - 120v prefered...

Hey guys. I'm on a mission to build a wet blasting cabinet. I think I want to start completely from scratch, build the complete cabinet and everything. I do have a HF style cabinet that I could convert, but I dont want a piece of junk in the end. So my question is about the pump. I would like...

Does this even exist? I have a small workstation where I use an air gun regularly. Its so dang LOUD! Especially when blowing into small holes, it whistles. (I'm not sure how to make that sound any better haha) I only use 40 psi at this station but still seems so dang loud.

Hey Guys, I have a 325 Quincy setup that is giving me grief. A few things are going on. It leaks out the intake, leaks oil, and now it started randomly unloading. I have checked the oil level and it looks good, about the middle of the dipstick. I know the leaking out the intake is caused by one...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some advice. I have a bunch of EFI fuel hose to cut and am wondering what will work best. The hoses all need to be exactly 1.5" long. Right now I am measuring and using a hand hose cutter, but it is very time consuming. Ideally I would like to mount something on a bench...
