i went to go look at it and i dont think it is as bad as he made it sound everything is solid the weighs are not worn and the head is tight. it just has some surface rust on the bare metal parts. i dont think it is to bad. the only thing it is not a colechester it is just a reguler older model...

i disagree with telling the wife everything, and it is not because of the honesty thing either. its just that she doesnt need to know. i know that mite sound rude but every person no matter if you are married or not you need your own things. i am sure she has some desighner hand bags or jeans...

i will stick up for hf on this one they do work. i have them behind the counter at my shop and me and my wife vend trade shows on weekends and we have a set for that as well. they made a huge difference, some of these bike shows you are standing for 10-12 hours and it was all we could do to walk...

you could also try capping it with some alum. you could also try talking to a local pest control they have some very good products to control the pests

is the motor something i can install ? is it just a matter of running a line to the moter and one to the lathe and a new breaker? can i run other equipment of of one motor or will i have to buy a moter for each piece of equip? i am also looking for a small mill and possibly a surface grinder i...

witch way is going to be better, like i said before i dont understand electric. is it better for the tool to just get the moter to crank up the 3 phase or buy a new moter for lathe. i want do things the right way . i wanted to look at it sooner but the guy who has works 12 hr nite shift 11-11...

after looking at the wireing and the panel an other stuff, i am just wondering if i would be better off just putting it in my garage, at my house. its a fairly new house and i think i just might feel safer after looking on ebay and talking to a guy down at the shop unless i see something that...

if you have a chance to pic up one of blue point's heal bar 5 peice set, that was my latest buy with them. they work great for a little of everything from lineing up holes to pulling seals, to even a center punch....

about half of my hand tools are snap-on and i never have felt like it was a waste of money. there has only been a very few times when a snap on tool has let me down. yes you pay alot more for them, but if you make a liveing working out of that box it is well woth the money . i know alot of guys...

after being over at my shop this evening and talking with the previous owner of the building i dont have 3 phase i assumed with al the coolers he had it did. so if i do buy this lathe i am going to be asking alot of questions to understand how to do this. there was recently a thread on the jj...

for $200 you should be able to use it without haveing to upgrade anything . i didn't even know they had widow covers for them i just figured it was a scratch proof plastic i will look into that . i probabley came down hard on the unit but mine is junk i used the 3/8 wide weather strip, sticky...

enrolled was probabley the wrong word. i paid the fees for the books and class time and start 1/7 is the first class . so i gues register would have been better. i think i can move it i do have trailers getting it off and into place is going to be the tricky part, but i do have some old pully...
