Picked this machine/table base up from a print shop in North NJ. I would like to see what machine it is for or if it has a specific use. It appears to be made of 3 pieces of Cast Iron, each embossed with "WW No.1" or "WW No.2" The base or riser is hollow but doesn't have a drain, so I down...

I've got a block grinder sharpening/truing attachment that came with an accessory but I'm not sure of its use or how it even attaches. Does this look familiar to anyone? I suppose its possible it isn't for the sharpening attachment but have no clue.

What is this thing? At first, i though a baby hammer, or maybe a door panel tool. No info on it other than the Matador Branding.

I've got 2 old pry bars I need some assistance ID'ing. The bigger one says "GRACE" on the side, but I can't seem to find anything online referencing grace as a manufacturer (Though I do have some small punches by a brand named Grace- not sure if related). It appears to be a "Railroad Pinch...

I will be testing the Knipex warranty with this broken pliers wrench, it broke surprisingly while removing a fastener well within its range. So far, I've reached out to Knipex by phone, then was told to email them a picture of the broken tool. I have received a return authorization but I...

I have recently picked up a Ruger engine hoist/crane, it works great but I'm not sure if it is original or someone modified it over the years. Looking at the design of the vertical column, I don't see any other Ruger's with this multi hole arrangement. The tag calls it out as a 140N-7SA though...

Acquired this little vise, it appears to allow items like wire to pass through the handle if held in the jaws. Does anyone know what this would be called or what this manufacturers mark is?

Does anyone have any experience with a HJorth "perfect" spring bender. It is said to be used in a Lathe or drill press or even by hand in a vise. Appears to make both compression and tension springs or custom sizes. I'm hoping to get some pictures of it in action soon.

Recently picked up this big parts cabinet and would like to know who made it. From what I can tell it appears the handles are similar to that of Shaw Walker file cabinets I have but no clear identifier other than a Brass Tag which only has the numbers 559 It came out of a recently closed watch...

I am in the hunt for a Logan Lathe gear guard/cover that goes over the gear train on the end of the lathe. It is for a 840 but I'm pretty sure any 200 or 800 series gear cover will work.

It's not the prettiest repair but I was able to get this old girl working again. Picked it up for 100 buck with the hidden surprise of a former owner having tipped her over. I want sure it'd still work but did a quick and dirty repair to test it out. So far so good. I know alot of...

I can't figure out whether the spindle on my drill press is just extra long or has an extender on it. I pulled the chuck w/ taper out and was hoping to take what I thought was the extension off and then put the chuck back on without the extension but I'm not sure that even is an extension or...

I'm putting together a computer cart for the shop and was curious what others have done for this purpose. Luckily I found a shipping desk that I can use for it and I have plenty of old monitors and whatnot. Mainly my concern is will a mouse and keyboard hold up in a shop environment. Does...

I'm in the market for a Milling machine or Metal Lathe. I know of the usual Craigslist & FB Marketplace options for finding a machine but am curious how some of you who have previously procured a machine thought was the best way to find a good machine at a reasonable price. I see alot of people...

Which usa made scraper are you taking? Do you think one is better than the rest? Do you have a different/better design that you use?

What tool/How would you go about cutting a stick of angle that is in an inside corner? I'm helping fitout a food truck and needed to remove a section of angle in an inside corner. Obviously the rivets within the section needed to be drill out but actually cutting the angle without damaging the...

I have a Variable Speed Drill press with a Reeves Drive. The fork that varies the speed is broken (I don't have the broken off piece) I'm interested in any ideas on how to make this repair. I have a MP Welder (But I don't know TIG), I have torches, and tap & dies, and even epoxies. My though...

Whenever I use the parts washer it splashes all over the place after the solvent hits the bottom of the tank or part. I figured I could come up with a solution and wanted to see if anyone else has done something similar or has some ideas Ideally I would want something lightweight due to the...

Picked up a drum switch recently in hopes of using it to reverse my drill press. The switch is labeled as "High Range" & "Low Range" instead of "Forward" or "Reverse". Is this switch able to be used for a reversing drum switch or is it only able to be used for high/low range?' From what I can...
