Scored a barely used Hobart 187 yesterday. Seller said he used it to fix bleachers for a local marching band. Included an 80 cuft bottle (mostly full), cart, auto-dark Hobart helmet, welding jacket, gloves, clamp and 3 spools of wire for $425. I'm a weekend warrior without farm equipment and...

I'm looking for a heavy duty come-along...perhaps 4-ton. Have a 12" pine stump to pull out and would also keep it in my Trailblazer for those unfortunate moments when off-road :lol: While a relatively simple device, I know all are not created equal after a reading online reviews. Do you guys...

The Reed 2C I picked up recently had a short stay at my house. Many of you know Zoomieport and that he's been wanting to add the 2C to complete his Reed "C" collection. He stopped by this evening and brought a very sweet Wilton 600S to trade. Super nice guy and a vise nut! It's funny...we...

Looking for two Jacobs chuck keys but their numbering system has me confused: 1st chuck: 633C / 33 Taper / CAP 0-1/2 2nd chuck: 34-33-33 Taper / CAP 0-1/2in 0-13mm Can someone explain the meaning of these numbers? And more importantly which chuck key I need for each? Thanks guys!

Hi guys. I'm trying to free up my 633C chuck by taking it apart and cleaning it. I was able to remove the outer shroud as seen in the picture (The two C sections were removed also but not shown). Upon disassembly, I could feel what seemed like tiny metal chips in the gunk. I washed...

Where's an economical place to find decent bearings online? I'm in need of two that are 16mm ID x 35mm OD x 11mm thick for an AO Smith 1/2 hp motor. A search for this exact size on Ebay brings one hit for $15 each. $30 a pair is really more than I'd like to spend for this motor. Any...

Hey guys; I'm looking at an old drill press for my home workshop that needs a new motor. The simplest solution of course is to pick up a used single-phase motor. However, a 3-phase motor with a Teco (or similar) VFD has me intrigued. Had to read up on 3-phase and watch Youtube videos as well...

My Dad doesn't have use for his Rockwell 1" Sander Grinder anymore so he passed it along to me. I remember using it as a kid and found it to be a handy tool :thumbup: Anyway, I need to repair the wheels somehow as the pics show. Can the outer elastomer (or whatever it is) just be removed? I...

I have a chance to pick up a Wilton vise on the cheap due to a damaged stationary jaw. Is there a good way to repair this?

Hey guys. Scored an 8" Baldor grinder and stand (Clarke sticker on it) today for $110. Seemed to be a good deal even though a few items are missing. It does have a wire wheel, washer and nut for the right side...just had them off when pics were taken. This puppy runs smooth/quiet as silk...

Hard as I try, drilling perpendicular holes free-handed through a 4x4 is difficult. I'm going to be tapping two holes into the end of a 2x4 so the holes through the 4x4 need to come out accurate (perpendicular) on the back side. What type and brand do you guys use? What do you like or dislike...

This is one is hard to believe. But perhaps someone here will pick it up...who knows? It's just a few miles from me. Wouldn't even need to pay for shipping :beer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUGATTI-FACTORY-VISE-/301098952890?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item461ae568ba

I've seen some beautifully restored vintage vices on this forum. Obviously plenty of originals and some bare ones too (paint removed). At this moment, there's an Ebay auction about to end for a beautifully restored Littlestown 112 and no bids yet. The price seems right...not sure why I don't...

I've seen some really nice vice restoration pics on this forum. How is the paint you used held up over time? Did you just use standard spray paint or something fancy like powdercoat? I understand alot depends on prep work. However, vices can see alot of harsh physical and even chemical...

A few of you know I've been looking for a relatively heavy-duty U.S.-made vice. Came across a CL listing today for a storage facility sale from 3-5 today only. One of the pics was a top view of a large vise sitting in the corner. Hmmm. Called the guy and he said it was U.S. made. Double...

I may have a chance to pick this up but have no info on it. It looks like a decent vise but sure would like to know more about it. Any vise experts out there that can tell me what it is and how much I should offer for it? Thanks!

Hi gang. First post here. I'm looking for a relatively heavy-duty vise and came across this Morgan Chicago 150. $200 seems a bit steep to me though. What say you?
