Some kind of attachment for a lathe or mill? All i see DAG 147D.? All I see is DAG 147D.

So I grab my Stanley dead blow hammer. It's decided to turn from black to white since I last used it. I use it to whack in some 3 pt hitch pins and it literally disintegrates. I don't abuse warranties. If I abuse a tool it's on me, If it wears out it's on my. But in this case, it's clearly...

I recently picked up this Delta/Rockwell extended shaft pedestal buffer with a Kalamazoo 2" X 48" Belt Sander. I'm not sure if this unit was marketed by Rockwell/Delta or Kalamazoo or if the belt sander was an aftermarket attachment. I disassembled it completely and flushed/repacked the...

I screwed up and damaged a drawer edge trim piece on my SO KRL1022. I couldn't find anything on their website so emailed them. Within about 15 minutes I had an email reply with a P/N and price. I placed the order over the phone and SO waived the shipping. Later I found out I needed a special...

I need to make a rubber/plastic bushing 50mm OD, 35mm ID that's approx. 3/4" long. Mcmaster has this which would be a good start. Can Durometer 75A rubber be machined (drilled, ground, sanded, filed)? Ordinary rubber is a ***** to machine but Mcmaster claims this is hard. TIA...

I picked up this old girl from an estate sale. It's a Union "Handy Garage Chest" from 1919. She was missing the handle and 2 ring pulls. The good news is that I found the front before leaving the estate sale. (they're almost always missing) The bad news is that the front was in bad shape...

I'd like a new battery chainsaw. My old 40V Kobalt is a piece of ****. It runs so slow you can almost feel each cutter contacting the log. I have gas saws but for simple quick storm cleanup tasks or occasional pruning I'd something to grab and go. On my short list is Makita, Dewalt, Echo and...

This ratchet has serious problems within the ratchet mechanism. Is there any practical way to take these apart and see what's wrong. It barely ratchets and sounds like there are broken parts inside. I'm about to toss it in the trash. Any hope? (it was a freepile find so no great loss)

I picked them up out of a free pile. They obviously inject a compressed gas into something. Pretty similar to those CO2 cartridges used in pellet guns. The injector almost looks like tire valve size but nothing to depress a schrader valve top. All but one are sealed. Made in Japan and...

Anyone know if std. Vessel Philips screwdrivers are always JIS? Their website specs. don't make any mention of JIS.

I have a soft spot for wanting to save these old Union Oak Tool boxes. Especially when they're from garage sales. This is #3. It was missing the front cover, lock, two ring pulls, felt was ratty, it was painted black, the leather handle was rotten and there was a notch cut into the top. The...

I'm looking to buy two vintage Union Toolbox ring pulls (2 nail preferred) to restore this old girl. I'd also consider buying a junker toolbox if it has those pulls. Any leads would be appreciated.

It's from a really old wooden Union machinist tool box and original ring pulls are unobtainium. New replacements aren't even close. The ring part will be easy but I'd like to form the round steel concave piece and have it look like it was machine stamped. Any suggestions using common shop...

From another forum, but amazing online source of vintage tool catalogs. https://archive.org/details/internationaltoolcataloglibrary

I found this old Union toolbox from a g-sale. I believe it's DD-14 from the teens. Oak cabinet was pretty solid, hardware was complete but rusty, leather handle was shot and the front door was missing. Here it is as found and after the first phase which was removal of the old H/W, some minor...

I found this old scoop shovel at a g-sale. The scoop is some alloy of copper. I don't think it's brass and copper would be too soft. Maybe bronze??? The handle is solid one piece wood. Can anyone ID it? My theory is that is was either used in a marine environment subject to salt corrosion...

Stolen with pride from SD. Use coupon code GOTYOURBACK to get 20% off of Klein tools. I did a test today 7/5 and the code worked for in stock items. (not sure the expiration date or if it works for special orders).

I lost one of my JD mower deck attachment hooks. The good news is that a seller on Ebay sells replacement bracket assemblies. (apparently the original JD design was pretty weak) . I need to slice off all the remaining hook so the face is flush for the new bracket. I could try a Portaband...

Just some images of the non tool items I found in the junk drawer of an old machinist toolbox a while back.

Guys, I think there's a scammer(s) working the forum's wanted ads. I won't name names because I'm not absolutely 100% sure. My advise is to be real careful!! Here's my experience. Draw your own conclusions. Instance #1: - I posted a GJ wanted ad for a widget. - A GJ newbie with a 1 post...
