Ooh! Look--A dead horse! Let's kick it! I know this has been discussed before--I've read the threads--a long time before and I want some fresh input on this. I have a 5" Palmgren Industrial vise on the way. I have two vises mounted to my bench already and want to be able to move this one to...

You all know how frustrating it is trying to find a part when you don't know its exact name? Drive nut? Whatever it is, it sure looks like I need a new one--and soon. I'm not sure if the drive screw is single- or double-lead, so not real sure on thread pitch (or, for that matter, type)...

I manage the physical plant for a brewery and pub. We have a fair turn-over of pub employees, mostly seasonal. We need secure locksets that don't require re-keying every time an employee moves on. We've tried home-grade keypad locksets before, and honestly, they're junk. We're now looking at...

After reading how some folks are mixing citric acid and baking soda to make a rust remover, I got to thinking. What you should get from that is one hell of a mess, lots of CO2 and sodium citrate. So I just cut to the chase. After a little research, I found that sodium citrate is used in food...

nothing else will do! Fixing a Kitchen Aid mixer for one of our pub employees (it was her grandmother's). That hole had wallowed out, allowing the head unit to shake up and down. I'm building up a pad of Permatex Cold Weld one thin layer at a time. Once it sets fully (tomorrow), I'll file it...

You know who you are. You recommended these driver bits for electrical work in a somewhat unrelated thread a week or two ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077L8BZV8?tag=atomicindus08-20 I had an emergency electrical job today (because everything is an emergency) and that tool saved me half my...

Boiled Linseed oil, that is, I went camping the other day and realized that I had finished this shovel: about a year-and-a-half ago! It's been living on the rack since then--through an inland northwest winter and two summers, with some camp use--mostly latrine duty--tossed in! Now, we're...

I ordered this set (because GJ members are bad influences) on Tuesday and it arrived yesterday afternoon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XW4C8Q?tag=atomicindus08-20 <$30, worth the chance? Here's what I got: Nice packaging, not too much excess plastic (it was shrink-wrapped). COO, as per...

These came in a batch I bought yesterday: 12, 13, 14, 15, 19mm, with the odd man out being 9/16". Chineseium or not? No USA stamp, laser-engraved (or etched).

I picked these yesterday. I have 9, 12, 13, 14, 15 mm. The PN system is easy: 57 followed by the size in mm.

I spotted this at a long-running yard sale last Sunday: It's been eating away at me since then--especially as everything at this sale is priced at less than scrap prices. So I went back this AM to get it: A Craftsman Crown 1/2 hp motor! I think it's from a DP, based on the mount. Since...

Found these today: Two of them in an old tool box. Not sure if the ends of the spring thingies are supposed to come together like that, or bypass. I get a brake vibe.... Seems like we need to just have one thread for the Whatzits, since a new one gets started every week. Checked Lugz's...

Amiright? T&E Tools "Infinity Drive" SRC150and 250. Thankfully, there does not seem to be a 350 or 050, so maybe I won't be a collector. This is yet another example of why I need a breathalyzer lock-out on my CC. I've had the 150 for a couple of decades and one of you enablers posted the...

This logo: is the only marking on this 5 1/2" X 1/2" drive extension: Any ideas? The closest I could find for the logo Diamond T was this: Which ain't that close.

Morning, y'all. I currently have and use a Wicked Edge guided-angle sharpening rig to get and keep my knives terror sharp. Not a problem for me, as I never let them get dull. The problem I have is when others want me to sharpen a knife--or five--that's duller than some of my hammers. With the...

Someone asked me to take a video of this thing working, so here it is: EDIT: Turn the sound off! My shop is loud without the drill press running! I have four 3-phase pumps going, too! ]64448-1006-00-221-Tools I lubricated it with some Dri-Slide before running it from 50 rpm--the slowest my...

I did my due diligence and searched the title. I checked the list. I can find nothing, so here goes: A friend gave me this the other day: I believe the logo is what's called the "third Sweetheart", placing it 1922-1935. It's my second rosewood and brass Stanley try square, so I'm only...
