It doesn't look like there are a lot of threads on here devoted exclusively to miter boxes and I've only ever seen a handful of weirdos (like myself) who collect (hoard) them. The saws themselves seem to be worth more money than the frames, but I notice on eBay that the spare parts for these are...

I just inherited a sieg X2 mini-mill with an R8 spindle and rather than spend my life savings at shars, i'd rather pick up any extras someone might have laying around. I need basically everything, I don't even have a set of parallels. Import junk preferred, I'm trying to ball on a budget.

I don't know anything about patents, but it looks like this recent patent application: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240255101A1 is the same as the infamous "840 patent" which looks to have finally expired? https://patents.google.com/patent/US9724840B2/en Does anyone know much about...

Hi gang, does anyone have a source for 9/64 steel pins/dowels? I've been making them on my junky old lathe but I'm needing them enoug that I'd like to buy a batch. I bought some off ebay but they were 3.5mm and not actually 9/64. I'm primarily running into them restoring old millers falls and...

I was wondering if anyone here has been nickel plating old tools and had any advice? Should go electroplate or electroless? Try to DIY something up or jump in with a kit from Caswell? I'm not trying to perfectly restore my estate sale finds but I'd rather they were shined up somewhat instead of...

Hi Gang, I'm at the SEMA show and the Koken booth is handing out a 20% code, "SEMA2023" which should work on their website. It's only active till Nov.3. Figured some of you might take advantage. (The nice lady at the booth said it was ok to post the code). No affiliation, but I figured some of...

Here's the extremely small 2 car garage that I started with at the "new" (1929) house. It started life early last century with a flat roof, probably to house a small car in the 30's. It has no footer except for some red bricks and at some point someone had cobbled a shallow pitched roof out of...

Sorry gents, I feel like a goof, I've looked but I can't find the forum rules. Specifically, I work for a company that sells tools, but I am not a supporting vendor so I'm not sure when to sit on my hands, and when to pipe up. Thanks.

I have an old Bishman tire changer I got for pretty much nothing but the Gast AM425 air motor for the bar is shot. It's not seized so I think a vane kit would get it going again. Anyone ever service one of these things? The tire changer is a hunk of **** so I don't want to drop $300 on a new...

I'm trying to add another welding outlet and using #6 (per code). How do I splice the circuit and join three #6 wire ends. The largest wire nut only joins 2 #6 wires.:dunno:

Chris Adams sparked my curiosity with a post in another thread about "cashflow." Eventually, I'd like to open my own business (way down the road) but I guess I don't understand the concept behind "cashflow" (especially in a retail environment like a motorcycle parts shop etc.) It might even...

Lowes has these at regular 149.99 right now: http://images.lowes.com/product/035441/035441656028.jpg But the Sams Website doesn't list a price for these: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?catg=535&item=203424&prDeTab=2 Does anyone know what they go for at Sams? I'm looking to buy...

http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2007/12/federal_court_jury_finds_for_p.html Why exactly did the wife get 3 million? Even if there were manganese fume released from the rods or wire (the only way I can see that it would be the manufacturer's faults)... I honestly think the welder should have got...
