I’m looking for some help here. Ive owned my IR vertical 80 gallon compressor for a bit over 10 years. 220v First 9 years flawless operation. I run a 5 axis CNC that requires minimal air pressure to operate. So the compressor will auto cycle on and off as needed for the air requirements. In the...

Looking to do something on my garage floor and I feel like laying tile in a black and white checkerboard pattern is what I want. Anyone know where to source tiles this big that would hold up in a garage setting? It’s a working garage so I think I need the good stuff in terms of hardness...

I'm in the process of installing an auto pilot on my boat and seems there is an ORB 6 fitting on the helm pump. Like the title of the thread states, is an ORB fitting just an NPT fitting with an o ring? I'm specifically looking for an ORB 6 tee with the other 2 ends of the tee being a 3/8...

Anyone done this before and if so, what is the process?

So for a few years I've been struggling to make do with an old HF bandsaw. Constantly looking on CL for a better saw. Had an ad pop up for an Ellis 1600 for $2100 That I narrowly missed. I'd never heard of this Ellis brand saw and had planned on buying a Grizzly. So I did a bit of research and...

I've looked all over to no avail. I have a rock wall I'm trying to drill thru and I need an extension

So I finally found a nice 9000 pound 2 post lift local on CL for a good price. Went to the business and myself and 2 employees disassembled it. Their forklift sure made it easier. Trailered it home and today I measured out the location where I plan on installing it. It's going to live outside...

Looking for some suggestions regarding what to place on the front steps of my office building. The PO glued outdoor carpet down and it looks like hell. They also had a wheel chair ramp added. Would epoxy with plenty of UV inhibitor and non skid work? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Can a 9000 pound lift my Ford F-250 diesel truck? Looks like my super duty crew cab pickup has a curb weight of around 8800 pounds. What the rule of thumb on lift weight limits? 80% of what it's rated at? Along with my truck, I'll also be lifting a 1971 Corvette, and a Honda Pilot. What...

So tomorrow I'm driving into LA to pick up a 6 year old Challenger lift. The fellow had 6 of them and I was able to pick one up for $1300. I called Challenger and spoke to a tech and he advised me on a few things to look for and basically said these 10,000 pound lifts are built like a tank. I...

So about a month ago, I re-purposed an old table saw stand, 220v motor with a bad capacitor (fixed it with one from an old pool pump), and a 1 1/4" buffing spindle with pillow blocks I bought off craigslist. The only place I was able to find buffing wheels in an 1-1/4" was McMaster Carr. They...

I recently had the opportunity to pick up a new, old stock Goodman mini split model # WMH24-1 for $500. The AC guy owed me money and I wasn't sure I'd ever see it, so I took the mini split. It is brand new, still in the box along with the condenser. Looks really nice! The manual says it's also...

I've been looking for a loooong time for a local Wilton at a reasonable price and I finally found one while searching for a bench grinder. It's a pretty clean swivel model, model 940? The date is 11-52. Jaws appear to be ok. Paint appears to be original? I also purchased a Dayton 1/3 HP 6"...

So a few months ago I purchased off Craigslist a Makita beam saw with a 16" blade. I ordered a new Diablo blade for a project I was working on and decided to keep the old blade to make a wall clock. I ordered a battery powered clock mechanism from Amazon and did a little welding and this is...

So recently I had back to back freebies given to me. I had this older LincolnArc TIG welder given to me by a metal fabrication business. They said it works, so on my next day off, I'll pick up a few pieces for the torch and give it a go. Anyone know anything about these machines? The next day...

Been thinking about treating myself to a new TIG welder. 2 years ago I purchased myself a Miller 211 MIG and I find myself using it all the time. This Christmas I bought a Miller Spectrum Plasma cutter 375X. Love it! I Have never TIG welded one time...... but Im looking for an excuse to buy one...

I'm talking about the those red triangle welding magnets that you use to form a 90 degree angle. My magnets have so much magnetic **** that they don't sit flush any more. What's the secret to cleaning them? I just recently purchased from Cyberweld the Strong Hand "On/off magnets and they are a...

I picked up this saw for a good price but it's missing the side rail extensions. Coincidently, I saw a Craigslist ad for a homemade bed extension that looked very well made for $65. The ad says it will fit model 113.22401 I have looked all over my saw and can't find my model number. Any...

I need to do some work on my boat which has a Cummings diesel engine in it. I don't need tool truck level wrenches ( I'd like them, but can't afford them) so I'm looking for a metric set from 8-23. They have to be 12 point, and not short. Is Tekton above or below Craftsman in terms of quality...

I picked up this big ol piece of Texas black walnut off CL a couple years ago. Finally got around to scraping and sanding it. Put multiple coats of Waterlox on it. Then took some square tubing and welded up legs for the walnut piece. Ground all my welds and then used body filler to fill any...
