A few years back I bought a cedar chest off a guy. It was an old carpenters chest from probably around the turn of the century, Stanley planes from 1880s-1930s etc. Lots of great treasure, not that I’m switching to bit braces but a ton of super cool stuff. In the chest is what seems like a...

Hoping someone has a leftover set (or single drum) of 9” rubber drums for a spindle sander. Any OD or ID is fine, I can make it work. Thanks in advance!!

I picked up this old PC oscillating spindle sander on the cheap, super excited to finally have one. It runs pretty smoothly and I was glad to see it was single phase. It’s got 7/16” threads and I had some allthread on a shelf, but I have to get a set of drums for it. Anyone got a line on some...

I have a couple of these Rockwell overarm routers, phenomenal machine for the kind of stuff I do. One is a 110 motor, the other is 220. Is it possible to convert the 220 to run 110? Or vice versa? I have a transformer if it comes to that, but if it can be done internally I’d prefer that...

I have an Atlas Craftsman Lathe, it's the 101.21200 model. I don't get around to using it often enough to ever get very good at it, but I like it. The problem I'm having is that the coupling in the center of the headstock pulley, the one you pull out to engage the back gears, slips out when...

I have three Vidmar boxes (so lucky) and I want to change the configuration of the drawers. Does anyone know a formula or a link to a calculator to move the drawers around between the boxes to get a better combination? I think the holes for the brackets are 13/16" apart, but the drawers are...

Messing around with a little old 10" bandsaw, the lower wheel runs on bronze bushes. There's a primitive hollow-bolt setup to run grease to the shaft. I thought it might be a nice upgrade to replace the bushes with roller bearings. It occurred to me though, would they have purposely used a bush...

I have never gotten around to finding out what these are for, and I've never seen anyone using them. TIA!! The ones on the left look to be home made from a triangular file. <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/picturedlife/media/20170218_193054_zpsx2smkzvj.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

I have had this gasoline compressor sitting around, it starts great, runs great, and the air idler is working fine. The pilot/unloader is a little fiddly but I can get it to activate the idler in the "UP" position. My question is, when it hits cutoff pressure and idles, what stops the machine...

Picked up this metal bandsaw on the cheap, I've always wanted one but they're always too big and expensive or too flimsy. I was going to go the Portaband route but this popped up for a great deal and the guy was cool so I got it. I'd love to get a manual for it, I think it's a 3z801 model...

Maybe this is too much of a longshot, and maybe this is one of those questions that someone pops in with periodically, I did a search and couldn't find anything. My question is, is there anyone on here (or elsewhere) who can make gears to run on my Craftsman 101.21200 lathe that will cut 26...

Grabbed this little press vise thing, looks like someone fabbed it in their own shop with a high degree of competence. Cant find any makers mark but it is smooth as silk in its operation. The serrations on the moving jaw make it seem purpose built for something really specific, though I cant...

This seems like a long shot, but I know theres a lot of clever and experienced people on this board with a lot of varied expertise, so I thought I'd ask. Getting set up to grind some valve seats with an old Blue Point machine, I am feeling what seems like excessive slop when I slide the stone...

This popped up on the List last night and it was so weird I had to drive out to the middle of nowhere and pick it up. It's a Grumman Aircraft "Nose Landing Gear Bush Remove and Install" set in an old SnapOn box, looks like Grumman painted their grey over Snappy's red. There's a big cutter called...

Picked this up a few days ago, posted it in the garage sale thread but no interest really. Is this anything special? I am not a big nut over saws but the logo was nice and it was cheap. Any idea what era this dates to? Photo is a clickable thumbnail. <a...

This T30 2475F12.5G compressor of mine runs on a Kohler M10 gas motor. The compressor uses a bullwhip to the throttle control, it's broken off and won't idle down. Easy enough, replace the bullwhip. But there's also a little governor attached at the other end of the throttle control, in the...

I picked this up, I can think of a few applications for it but does anyone it's specific purpose? Or if it's a generalized tool. The jaws and screw have SO numbers but does anyone know the number of the puller itself? TIA!!

I put a pic of a good haul up and got a PM about these sockets, asking what they were. They say APEX Dayton Ohio, which is still a brand I guess, not sure if that's who made them or someone who put their name on. The shorter ones are 7/16"-3/4" and the long ones are 9/16" and 5/8". The long...

Got some stuff, no incredible deals or anything you don't see around, but I feel fine about it. SnapOn CJ98D Puller Set $50 <a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/picturedlife/media/20140223_191239_zpsf904b4cb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...
