Actually I use it with no hose all the time. It wasn't planned but it turns out that it's a good working height so on a regular basis I put the air Chuck in it and then move the item I am cleaning in front of it. I don't have space to mount a reel without it becoming a safety hazard or blocking...

I suspect your onto something there.. I dont really like that aluminum block in the middle of all this, but I cant find replacements at all much less in steel

Loctite? Given what I went through to get it apart that seems like a really bad idea to seal the up to where I cant get in again. Nothing is cracked though so if thats what it takes thats what I will do. Clean is a given. What do you mean by tap a little & hard sealer. Also what would be the...

Yeah.. that's how I know it's the manifold leaking and not something easy to redo

I have been battling with a leaky air compressor. There is one place that I cant get to seal up. its the aluminum manifold where it screws into the cast steel/iron tank. This was not leaking when I got the compressor, a couple years ago but had recently started leaking along with several brass...

I am fairly certain that its the number in the serial number. Making yours a 1976... Or more dramatically... 43 years old & complete making it even more impressive.

@1982fxr What year is that one? Its surprising to see someone come into one so complete.

Found this pair on craigslist last night. Probably overpaid at 140 for the pair with the stands, but I didn't have a bench grinder at all & have been watching CL & facebook like a hawk for a good long while for something old. And the only things that I had seen were a few of the Craftsman Block...

When I got mine (to replace a 20 gallon oiless) I looked at everything available & in the end everything ***** or is expensive when your buying new. Buying from craigslist is the way to go I think. I always see good quality 2 stage older compressors going for 400-800 with much more performance &...

This is for sale cheap locally, but I cant find specs on it.

If its the same neon pea green color that comes up when I google Wilton High Visibility Vise then thats definitly not it. I will try to snap a picture, but its definitly much more of a catarpillar yellow. It seems like it very well may of been stripped & then repainted yellow, then repainted...

So I have a couple of old Vice's & for no reason other then "I wanted it" I bought a Wilton 1750. Paid probably way too much for it on eBay, but I have it now just the same. It came with a complete coverage paint job in red & below the red instead of finding some of the hammered green color...

I ahve the 3/8 & the 1/2 ones I they have been perfect thus far. Not professional use though.. Just at home stuff.

New to blasting (as in I have never done it before or seen it done in person), but just ordered the cheapo Jegs Benchtop kit (95 bucks shipped including tax). I plan to use it to restore a vise or 3 & the occasional cleaning up of other small random odds & ends. Basically paint & rust removal...

Wow for 100 bucks I'd be all over it.. I believe in most cases you can half the horse power and half the rpm and be ok.

Your looking at that wrong.. the hf 2 stage unit is the same as a Bellaire yes.. and the 27g that harbor freight sells has the same single stage pump as the Quincey 20g too.. Lots of other brands can also be mixed in here and it's because those hf compressors are made by abac copco which...

I almost bought the white set. Ultimately I didn't because it wasn't in stock at the time. Was going to wait then came across a Mac box in the Facebook classifieds for way less. That white though.. it's extremely **** for a tool box

Costco has some fairly heavy duty 27 gallon box's that are black with a yellow lid. They are like 8 bucks each or so. I have a half dozen of them & so far they are all excellent. 2 of them side by side fit perfectly in the roof rack on my forester so I started out with 2 & then went back for...

I did all the shelving in my garage with pocket holes & used the #8 screws.. I bought the bulk though which are silver. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kreg-2000-Count-2-1-2-in-8-Coarse-Washer-Head-Pocket-Screws/3467189 I found them to be extremely strong. First thing I did when I got my jig was...

Yeah that's a very run of the mill compressor. 200 would be pushing my Max on that thing. Brand new with warranty you can find basically the same thing for 400 every day of the week if you have a good selection of big box stores around.
