Alright, back again to bug you guys about grinder questions because I'm painfully ignorant about the ins and outs of this type of tool. Some of you may remember a while back my 1/2hp resto I did. If not, here's the outcome: So now I'ma do it again. I picked up a couple of grinders at an...

Looks like this outfit is liquidating a huge lot of Colson 4 series casters. These are the 4x2 4 series Poly Hi Tech swivel casters. If you wanted to order these from Colson, they're nearly $40 each before shipping. Get them here for $5 each (about $10 each after shipping). If you need them to...

I've used you guys every step of the process. I made a thred when I bought it, made a thread when I took it apart, made a thread when I put it back together, so here I am showing the result of the Baldor grinder that garagejournal.com restored. Thanks for all the support. Stumbled into a little...

The name was on a metal nameplate that came off. Is this something decent?

I started the resto on the Baldor I bought this week. I'm sending the iron and pedestal out to be powder-coated, the center section appears to be attached to the unit, so I cleaned it, sanded a grain into it, and polished it. Here's the progress. <a href="http://imgur.com/5YI7W"><img...

So I got a haul from Epstein today, photo in the new tool arrivals thread. In that haul came a pair of 7'' Jorgensen E-Z Lock visegrip like clamps. They seemed pretty cool on paper, they're functionally like a vise grip, except the find thickness automatically and screw adjust for the amount of...
