Still $20-$40

Brown and Sharpe You can buy a brand new version, same company on Zoro for $40 If it's complete with arm, maybe $20

The answer is Miller 211. It's always Miller 211. Wait for zoro to have a sale or just save up the difference. If you have the space you can find an older MM250. I love mine. I'd be careful with the 251 however. The electronics can be troublesome. The 252 is likely not in your budget but it's...

If it does work it's way down, the pump is likely toast. It's also likely to have a lot more vibration from having half of the reciprocating assembly removed.

That's a mortar or grout mixer. Anything with rocks or gravel won't work very well due to clearance issues between the agitator and the drum. You need a rotating drum mixer for concrete.

It will certainly delay it based on how much you put in but once the hydration process begins there is no stopping it. Concrete will continue to harden indefinitely in the presence of moisture. Commercially used retarding admixtures have tradionally been made from byproducts of the sugar...

You can also use molasses for a retarder. Any sugar really. But with homebrew admixtures it's difficult to get dosage correct.

They will make a specialty set to include whatever you want. Unless you were told by previous owner what it was intended for its unlikely you'll ever know. It could be anything. http://www1.snapon.com/display/901/WWW/Downloads/CatalogPages/CAT1000A_Custom_Tool_Kits.pdf

I recently picked up a Clausing drill press for $200. Honestly, I really didn't know what it was but since have found out it's pretty darn nice. New they sell for $4000. There are great deals out there, just takes time and patience. As far as a vise, these are plentiful too. Any older USA made...

Well, I guess it's a mystery? BTW, the belt I need is 6x48, correct?

So likely they're not even for this belt sander. Are they even for the Clausing? The pulleys that are on it now are a lot bigger.

Can you tell me what these are for? I'm guessing pulleys? They were stacked on a post behind the belt

It's 7x12 with a one inch cutout for the belt

Other side

You guys owe me... I went and got the belt sander too. Now I'm out another $50, thanks.

Of course you can always buy used for far less than your 1/2 off. They work just as well... Most of my stuff has been bought used. Unless I need it ASAP or it's something delicate like A/C gauges or electronic stuff, then I'll opt for new.

Personally, I don't like to skimp on anything if I can help it. I'm not really sure what you're looking for? What tools to buy from SO and what to get from HF? I don't buy cheap **** but if I had to choose what to buy quality from SO if on a budget, I'd start with the ratchets. Then maybe...

They're sneaky...is there a minimum purchase required or a specific category (like home Halloween decorations)?

I'm already having doubts about not buying it and you're not helping the matter. :lol: I do zero woodwork. I really don't like wood at all. Im sure there could be some metalworking use for it, but I've never really had a need.
