I think I have read every winch post on here and still can't make up my mind. I want to pick up a winch to use for multiple purposes. Hoisting things in the shop, pulling cars onto my trailer, and even stretching fence and pulling trees on the farm. Everything is setup with Reese Tubing for...

I've tried a few different chemical bottles, after a few months they quit working... Anyone found anything that last for stuff like wax and grease remover or pre cleaner?

I have a pulley that I am boring out to 7/8". When I do this I will lose half of my key way. The pulley is 3" wide. I can use my end mill to deepen the depth on each side but I don't think I can get all the way through so it will leave the center portion intact. Even using the mill "if it...

Obviously its going to be a beat guess... Had one on each contactor melted. One of which the copper connector itself had melted. 220v-10 amp circuits 10 ga wire. Driving a 5hp compressor motor. Been in service around 3 years...just found it by accident. Think maybe I didn't have the...

Well, this one got smoked.... Cut a lot of steel prior to me getting it. .75" shaft, 1.5 HP, 110v Will a compressor duty motor hold up? It will only be used a few times a week now...

Are there any hacks out there for DIY back purge plugs for welding stainless? Ive seen the aluminum foil trick, I honestly just thought about duct taping the ends up, but there has to be some cheap rubber stopper from the hardware store that does the same job... The sets are ridiculously...

Or where I can find it? It appears to be aluminum c channel of some sort. Do you guys think it is just C-Channel or maybe something with a coating or specifically for this? They are using for the door slide.

I had thought a simple latching switch like this would do what I wanted.... I have eliminated the floor switch on my '56 build and want to go to a simple switch like this on the dash. Can this be used as a Dimmer? This is the closest thing to a diagram I can find, Based off of it I would...

I have a JD2 Model 3 bender. Do any of you guys have a bender that is a different model manufacturer and would be willing to post the dimensions of the pin locations and diameters? Or maybe you already know if other brands of dies will work? If so please post that information.

I am building a console, sides will be MDF and cloth covered. The center is going to be a steel inlay painted to match the paint. I need to access the screws to mount the console to the floor, then "snap" the inlay in place. I could use some button head screws but would brefer a push pin /...

I know how to calculate what the feedrate should be.... But other than counting turns and timing them, is there any other way to know how fast your table is moving?

Guys I'm in the middle of this craftsman grinder rebuild and was curious how I should clean and lube up this old motor. Its going to get used a lot, so I don't need it to be perfect just cleaned and lubed. What should I use and how do I go about it?

It spins free on the shaft. I warmed it up, hit it with pb blaster and it broke loose. According to other guys on this forum it should slide off the shaft. It is cast aluminum on a steel shaft. There seems to be a small ridge at the edge of the spacer. It has to slide off but I can't get...

For starters it says 1/3 hp. If you calculate it based off of amps it is closer to .77 hp. It is definitely stronger than this harbor freight one. Any guess as to an age on this one? And lastly how do I get this hub off? It is loose and spins free but it won't slide off...

I guess this is an odd size? I am trying to find some coarse grit 7" PSA discs for my multitool. The supplier sells them and I will go back to them if I have to. However, I was hoping to find some on Amazon or Ebay or something more reasonably priced. Have any of you guys seen any or have a...

I noticed it seemed like it was taking longer to heat a portion of my house. I walked outside and found frost on my unit. I haven't really noticed it before on either unit. It seemed to work fine through the winter, no crazy bills, etc. It has also been rainy the last few days with a...
