Got this many years ago and it's really powerful. It will offset sheet metal using 90 psi. Seems to maybe a jig to hold parts for machining. Any ideas for the original use? Movin/on

Made an English wheel about 12-15 years ago and used it quite a few times. It's quite heavy, probably 800 to 1000 pounds. Backbone is 6X10 I beam with 1/2 X2 welded into each side of the throat in a W pattern and then plated with 1/8X10 steel. Arms and base are thick wall 6X6 square tube. Wheels...

When my uncle passed away about 40 years ago I "inherited" actually emptied his barn and most went for scrap. I held onto a few tools, and this is one of them. Checked online and the Model # does not come up. Motor mount was welded on (sloppy job) later so now idea what the original...

I've got a couple of hundred feet of new water service pipe, but it has no markings for pressure. It's PE and has a 1/8" wall. 1-1/8 OD and 7/8 ID. I'm building another 36X40 shop and would like to use it for 90# distribution lines. MY compressor is set at #150 but I immediately reduce it to...

This shaper is in excellent working order but has only one cutter. The cutter is 1/4 inch and seems to be a lathe cutting tool. Havir 8B Shape-Rite 8" stroke shaper. It does have the rotating vise and the shaper head pivots.it does have a replacement electric motor and is on a shop made stand...

I just installed a new pressure switch on my IR 4000 compressor. The switch came set for 140# on and 175# off. It has an unloader. I've got a very small leak in my air lines that I can't find, they run 40ft thru trusses 12 ft up. My main tank when isolated does not leak. Thinking of reducing the...

I've had this threader for around 18 years and it's just in the back of my shop, Best I can tell it threads up to 2". It's complete with the motor and drive belt then a machine chain. Want to get rid of it instead of sending it to a scrap yard. Includes 8 sets of thread cutters. (4 cutters in a...

I need to purchase 2 400 MFD condensers for a Grant-Spaulding Ford FE distributor but have no way to measure some I've got. What reasonably priced multi meter (around $100) will do this? Richard >>> Movin/on

I posted a few weeks ago on how to dress this sharpener wheel. Got some good suggestions, thanks. Now some pictures before and after. I took my liberties as to colors since I couldn't find exact matches. I really didn't like the Olive Green anyway. Took it apart and cleaned the parts in my...

I got this shaper about 20 years ago and it's been stored in the back of my shop once I made sure it was working correctly I have no idea how old it is or the value. I'd like to get an approximate age. It seems to be an 8" and has the vise and tool hoklder. Picture attached of the tag. I'll try...

I've got a running Boice-Crane sharpener, and I'd like to clean the grinding wheel. It's been sitting for over 30 years and I've never used it. Now is the time. I've sharpened a couple of wood chisels and now would like to step up to handplane blades. (approx.2" wide) I've got a dressing stone...

Not sure where to post this but it's most likely from the 1950's-60's. I've had this for over 40 years and never used it. It's about time to put it in service, Only markings are G71, The reduction from the large pulley from the motor to the stone is 12 to 1 so it could possibly at 50 RPM grinder...

Not sure where I got this but it's been in my tool junk drawer for 30+ years. I moved from Michigan to SW Oregon in 2003 so it's most likely from my grandfather's farm. No markings on it except for the 2 dots. It only drives counterclockwise, ratchets clockwise. Odd parts the square drive is...

This was included in brake drum lathe tools when I got the lathe that I converted to polish wheels. The dial was hazy, and the body had a clear covering that had turned opaque white and nothing was visible. Sanded the cover with 220 grit then 400 grit and finally polished with white compound...

I cleaned out a small shop/garage for Bob's family after he passed away. Bob was a naval mechanic during the Korean War He later became an aerospace mechanic someplace near San Franciso. His tools were mostly precession, dealing with mostly stainless steel. Finally, I got to the taps and dies...

I've adapted my 28 ton log slitter to also serve as a press. It's been quite a bit of fabrication, but it's looking promising. I'm now to the point of fabricating some dies of different shapes. I've already got a round 5" long die and 1/2 round open tube (pipe cut in 1/2 lengthwise) and a few...

I found 3 of these saw sets when I was cleaning out a boat repair shop about 16 years ago, I gave 2 of them to a cousin who had a sawmill in Fairbanks Alaska. They might have been used to straighten Props. Any date available? I checked out C.E. Atkins company and a 1900 ish. catalogue came up...

Got this for free so I'm keeping it. It seems that all functions work but has a very grainy casting. Chinese, Japanese, or India, etc...? No markings at all. Static jaw is 5" but dynamic is 4.75 so is that to allow the swivel to work? Movin/on

Neighbor gave me this complete 59 piece tap & die set and I'm wondering the quality, who made it for sears and the vintage. I've always pieced together taps & dies and have a mixed set missing many sizes and TPI's. This seems to be what I've wanted. EDIT Model is 9-52151 Movin/on

Got this today from a neighbor and wonder the age and if it is unique. It's cast iron 13" wide and 4.5"tall probably 3"deep, It's in exceptional condition. The leaf spring actually works. Is this from the same company that produced the motorcycles? The "Indian" script looks similar. Movin/on
