Not sure if this should be in the Lighting & Electrical forum but that seems to be for garage/shop wiring so I'll start here. I have a mill which has an electrical box attached to it. I'm trying to determine what the box is. I have a service disconnect with 4 wires coming in, the green wire...

I'm looking for a preferably vintage 3/4" offset box end Williams spud wrench. I can live without it being offset. I can't find one in any decent usa brand. Anyone seen one, do they exist?

I'm trying to figure out who made this pipe vise. Anyone know what the M mark signifies?

Picked this up for 20$ yesterday, to replace my cheap ***, aluminum delta table saw. I'll buy just about anything with engine turning decoration on it :D Came with the original stand too. A 10" made by King Seeley, with a 1HP working motor. The speed handle on one of the knobs is missing and the...

The time has come for me to quit borrowing bearing splitters from friends and buy my own. My god they are expensive for good ones, even used. I use them often enough I don't want to buy cheapy Chinese ones. These things aren't exactly complicated, why are they so spendy?

I'm almost done posting my estate sale finds from the past two weekends. This lot I paid 30$ for. A box full of reamers and drill bits, a horizontal head for a mill ( which turns out to be for a Bridgeport and fits my J head ), a slightly bent Ridged pipe wrench to replace the Chinese on that I...

Here's something else that I picked up from an estate sale this weekend for $20. It believe it's a Parker 974B and I think it will clean pretty well. It doesn't have the jaw inserts which apparently is going to be a chore, but I'll try my hand at making some.

Another of my estate sale finds from over the weekend, got it for $20. It's a Seattle Chain Mfg. 1/2 ton "Screw Geared Block". I thought it said a 1 ton but after a little cleaning it's a 1/2 ton. it seems to work but I'm going to take it apart and figure out what kind of lubrication it uses and...

I bought a bunch of stuff at estate sales over the past two weeks and am just now getting around to posting. I bought a box that contained 18 old BlackHawk sockets ( 6 of them are 4 point ) and one 31/32 socket stamped with a "RAY" logo. It also contained 8 SnapOn sockets with the overstrike...

Over the weekend I bought a box of what appear to be very old sockets. There were some that were clearly marked. Mostly old Blackhawk sockets and some that are clearly Snap-On. However there are about 8 sockets in there that I'm trying to find out what the logo is. It sort of looks like the old...

I picked up this anvil pretty cheap today. It's definitely well used and hope it's not to far gone to not be able to use it. I haven't cleaned it up yet but I can't see any casting marks except for 1899 and a 5. Figured I'd check here to see if anyone knows what it is. If not I'll post pictures...

I'm trying to find non chrome Bluepoint combination wrenches but they apparently are no available via Snap-on any more. The new numbers are: BLPCW32B 1" BLPCW26B 13/16" BLPCW28B 7/8" BLPCW30B 15/16" The numbers are the ones that I have look like they'd be more like: BLPCW1 1" BLPCW1316...

I scored this over the weekend for almost nothing. I'm not even into Plvmb stuff but I couldn't pass this up. Got a few items, just some files and c-clamps ( two of them forged steel ) but not really worth showing. The box is in great shape, albeit in need of a good cleaning.

I bought this at a estate sale on 50% off day ( along with a SK 42470 that looks like it's never been used ). Certainly looks like an old bench top power supply but I don't see where to plug in the ground probe. Any ideas?

I've been hem hawing about buying a vise. Today my wife talked me into it because I was driving her crazy thinking and talking about it. I ended up getting what I feel is an okay deal on it. I wasn't familiar with the shape of the jaws and I can't find a lot of pictures or information about it...

Since I was a kid I've never been fond of adjustable wrenches. I've always had the standard 6" - 8" crecents that I've picked up from sales but have always considered them worthless, mainly because of the way they feel ( loose, cheap feeling, etc ). I picked up an Irega adjustable wrench from a...

I need to build a drag link for my truck. I got a piece of DOM and Moog ends. Now I need to determine what taps I need. The threads are 7/8-18 ( one is RH and one is LH ). Taps of this size are pricey so I want to make sure I get the correct ones. I called Moog and they couldn't answer my...

I found a HF bandsaw that is missing some parts. I have a motor for it but it's missing the blade guides ( probably not the correct name for everything missing ). Since I have 0$ in it so far I decided to try to fix it. I found some blade guides with bearings I can buy but the parts they attach...

I'm mounting a vise to my workbench and have a question. It's a Prentiss Bulldog, non-swivel base and the front of the mounting plate has a lip which reinforced by a 45° piece of metal. Is this vise made to mounted on a stand ( or something ), or do I have to notch my bench to get the lip to sit...

I've been looking for a decent, heavy vise for some time now. Collectors seem to have driven the prices up to a level I don't feel comfortable paying for something that will be used/abused and not restored. Even if I did get a good price on a "good" one ( Prentiss, Rock Island, Reed, Athol...
