Got an arbor that's Brown & Sharpe #10 that's sized 1/2-13 for the draw bar. My draw bar is 5/8-11. I know this because I ran taps into the new arbor and one that I know works. Doesn't seem like there'd be too much trouble but wanted to make sure, B&S #10 aren't cheap arbors. Let me know what...

I bought a lathe and when trying to get power to it I noticed that coming out of the motor was two blue wires, a brown wire, a white wire, and a ground. The brown and white wire then are attaced to an outlet receptical and the blue wires go to the switch that turns the lathe on. Then at the...

Im old and only part of my brain works. My wife is going to school full time and working so I cant bug her with this stuff. Can someone give me a photo hosting site that in their experience works well with GJ? I'd like to post a bunch of my projects, ideas, and stuff but cant because the...

Anyone buy an Acra machine, especially bench grinder? I've heard mention of a lathe or two on youtube but have not run across their products very often. Need a bigger bench grinder at least 10" their price is in the unicorn snorting rainbows to good to be true category. But danged if I can find...

Seems too good to be true, anyone had experience whith these?

Working on an old Marvel #2 draw cut saw, a bunch of bolts have rusted the threads off. No way to reuse. The square heads are part of the way the machine works. Have to use square head bolts. Trouble is, I can buy them on ebay but I have to buy $20 to $30 worth of each. Anyone know of a store...

I've been working on a Quincy 325 pump for about a year. Finally got it to build up 160lb pressure Hooray! The guys at Pacific are awesome! They really know what theyre doing and knew exactly what I should try next. They went out of their way to help me and I want to spread the word. If you need...

I've got a Marvel #2 Draw cut saw in pieces. The manual calls for using OIL and not grease as the grease wont transfer all the way across the drive rod and bronze bushing. The machine was all gunked up with grease. I can see why since all the maintence points have zerks but are clearly NOT for...

Looking at these plans on ebay. Anyone see these plans and are they good? https://www.machineryplans.com/

Wondering what you guys do for your metal layout workspace? Do you do your layout in one area and weld and fab in other areas? Or perhaps you keep all your layout tools in a small tool box right by your welding table? I need a good place to do some layouts and dont have anywhere to keep...

Ok, sometimes things come so far out of left field you dont even know how to cuss or swear at it! I've got a Rong Fu something I got at an estate sale. Its better than nothing. Today I had a cutter in a collet and noticed that the draw bar felt a little strange. I pulled it out and checked the...

I bought a Quincy 325 pump from an estate. The old gentleman had been rebuilding it before he got to be too sick. It sat outside in the weather for who knows how long. I took the valves out to have a look and was surprized at how much rust was there was on the inside of the head. While folks...

Hey, this sounds like a dumb question..... not a great way to start off, but I cant get the flywheel off my Quincy 325 air compressor. It makes me think there might be a set screw or maybe the key way key is tapered to keep the flywheel from "walking off"? All I know is that I put more than what...

Thought it would be interesting to see your pullers, hub, steering wheel, axle, harmonic balancer etc, as well as see how you organize yours. I need to come up with something better than the pile of mish-mash parts in a drawer that barely opens. Haha.

Anyone have any luck sealing the interior surface of air compressor crank case and head?? I have a Quincy 325 roc 13 and just got the head, that weighs about 40lbs, totally de-rusted and I want to seal it instead of just let it get all rusty and have that rust clog up the valves. I wish I was...

Hey all, I've got a Dayton compressor cant really read the tag but from looking on youtube I think it's a model 3Z967B. I was using it and heard a loud bang shut it down immediately. Months later decided to look into it. Took off the crank plate and the cylinder walls are good from the bottom...

I've got a track chair, it's a combo of a golf cart and a bulldozer (no blade) and it runs off two 12v batteries. I use it on the farm everyday and sometimes Im far away from a power outlet. The people that makes these, Action Track Chair built a little platform so I can put a small inverter...

I bought a set of universal or swivel socket set that are 1/2 drive SAE from SK. Theyre awesome. Doing suspension work on the wife's Durango, I need a set in metric. Anyone know who might make a set? Don't want to spend $300 for Snappys but if I have to, I have to. I looked over the net but...

My advice, When deciding on a pole barn shop kit, investigate the QUALITY of the pieces involved. My 24'x36' shop has "bottom dollar" written all over it. The roof metal is so thin you have to tightrope walk the trusses like there wasn't any metal there. If not it kinks and crumples, cracks and...
