I've started my apprenticeship in machine repair and will probably want some tool boxes to go on my Tricycle. I'm wondering if there is already a company that supplies specific size boxes just for this purpose ? A lot of guys have **** on their trikes that they've scrounged up from in and...

I have some .105 stainless I'd like to shape. I'm wondering how beefy I'd need to make things to do it.

I have a small service award from my Grandpa and was wondering if I could turn it into a cutting tool of some kind. I have other things that belonged to him from where he worked so there's not all that much sentimental value with it. I checked ebay and there are others like it not really selling...

I've had the design in my head and on paper for at least a year I guess. I've been working on it here and there when I can. This goes all the way back to "How thick should I cut this plastic" http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315652 I'm done with most of the frame work, and...

Seems no matter where I put my welding magnets they always get chips or grinding dust on them, then when I go to use them again I have a major chore on my hands. What do you do ?

I'm having trouble finding a good light to go above my mill. The lighting in my shop isn't the greatest, so i'm looking for something I can direct towards the mill table like a Flexible arm light. I was thinking of mounting it to the mill but I haven't seen much in the way of options. I...

I saw this on Craigslist and have been thinking about it. Does anyone have any experience with this particular drill ?

Just curious if anyone has purchased a kurt vise off ebay ? I've seen a couple sellers on there but I'm curious about the quality. Does Kurt sell seconds ? This is what I want to avoid. If I'm going to pay top dollar for a Kurt I want it to be within their specs. Of a first rate vise.

I ran across a cool site that has all kinds of USA made tools and other things. Some of you may have already seen it or knew about it. It's stillmadeinusa.com Actually it's a site that lists usa made websites

I'm working on a Jig for number stamps. It's for doing all the numbers at once instead of punching each one individually. There are 11 numbers, maybe 12 depending on whether or not I make a 6.5 Anyway, there is no, no. 10 or no.11 so for the 11 I took an H and ground the cross bar out and it...

My friend sent this pic to me when he was rummaging through bins. He didn't buy it though. Maybe it will still be there in the morn. He said it had a collet in it, and oil was running out of it.

I've noticed in the past few days there are posts made by someone with just one or two posts, and when you click on them they in no way resemble the title of the post. There of course are occasional posts that don't resemble the titles but these seem very obvious and deliberate.

I'm looking for a set of Guide blocks for a DoAll 16-2 Vertical bandsaw. If you have an extra set and wouldn't mind selling them I could use them. Thanks H.

I was thinking about somehow injecting coolant in and near the end of the air line for a mist of coolant when needed instead of getting a separate cool mist deal or something. Any thoughts ?

I'm looking for bandsaw blade suppliers. I'm familiar with sawblade.com but after just about 2-3 minutes of total incompetence i just hung up. I've seen the saw center website but couldn't make heads or tails out of anything there. Thanks for any help.

Thanks in advance. My Electrical knowledge is mostly basic but I can follow some things but need help understanding what's going on here. The Bandsaw is a DoAll 16-2 with a blade welder/grinder. I'm not sure the motor is original, and was thinking it was three phase by looking at the plug...

I've had a Craftsman 5 hp wet/dry model for a long time. I guess it works good but I use it to **** up wet/oily machining chips on top of cleaning the shop floor. So it has a pretty good build up on the inside of the hose now, and I need new Adapters and ends since they have cracked and or...

I just ordered a dual grit 400/1200, from the Natural Whetstone Company. I mainly ordered this one for shop use. I didn't really want to spend that much on one but I didn't want a made in Mexico piece either, I would have bought a Japanese piece before I did that. My dad also gave me a natural...

It seems I have several cordless tools now, so I'm wondering how others have their charging areas set up. Pictures please.

I need a Service manual in PDF or ? and I really don't want to pay 35.00 for it. If someone could send me a copy to a free PDF manual I would much appreciate it. The Model is a 3KV Thanks
