Purchased this 204R several years ago. Restored it and needless to say I currently have an unrestored 204.5 sitting on the floor beside me. If I decide to sell this 204R what would it be worth? The picture of the 204R is when I restored it so the paint isn’t as mint, but there isn’t any damage...

I am wanting to upgrade my on board air system from my Viair 444 coupled with a 30 gallon tank. I have been looking at multiple options including 12-volt air, Oasis and even building a custom 12v one myself. There is a guy who took a compressor and a winch motor and made his own compressor. I...

Metal Workbench Care / Finish / Paint? Just getting into metalworking and I was gifted a 1/4 plate that I cut to fit my workbench top. Formerly wood, is now steel. How do you finish it and prevent rust? I don’t think paint will work. Maybe treating with mobil vactra oil? What about using some...

Can anyone advise if this clausing is worth $1000? Any problems noticed?

Just picked up and old index machine and it has light surface rust. How can I remove it? Will a wire wheel on an angle grinder damage the tolerances? I see lots of people using scotch brite. Is there any other way?

The titanium 170 $500 and Vulcan 215 is $800 Thoughts and suggestions? I didn’t see any direct comparisons that I could find. Both are dual voltage rated at 3/8 @ 220v both have spool guns for Aluminum.

I have checked around and found no info about this at all. I was curious if a conversion could be done from an R15 to a PL15? Or is there a way to add an external oil pump/filter that would be electrically powered? Any thoughts? Is it even worth it?

GJ, I have a Champion compressor. I am trying to dry the air out for painting/ media blasting. Could I take a coil of copper tubing (25 to 50 feet) inside of a 5 gallon bucket of water/antifreeze and put that inside of a mini fridge? Would that work if I drilled two holes and sealed around them...

I picked up a nice Reed 204r today. It’s in great condition. No welds, cracks, jaws are nice. Only problem is this: I can totally open the dynamic jaw all the way with no resistance. Then I remove the pin (from the bottom) and set screw. I can remove the dovetailed acme nut also. But the Dynamic...

I have an R15b on an 80 gallon tank. 5hp motor runs it. At work we have a Chinese “5hp” and standing it front of it you feel a definite breeze. In front of my champion I feel nothing. Even putting my hand around the pump I feel no air! Is this right? I attached a CFM chart from champion for...

I have researched the principles of a geothermal heat pump. I have a standard heat pump (air source) with an outdoor unit. Would it be possible to put the outdoor unit in a chamber underground where the temp is always 50 degrees and extend the copper lines and add extra refrigerant. I think it...

I have a 170k btu reddy heater. It will run fine but when you shut it down it starts smoking. Not only out the front of the “torpedo” but also the back where the air filter goes. Not really sure what’s going on but it smokes up my whole shop. I have checked the fuel and air filters, and the...
