Stain help & rustbullet After spending many moons grinding with diamond cups, I got to the point where I'm ready to wash away the dust and finally paint one half of the garage. Everything is a uniform bright white after breaking through the top layer of glaze. Yay... thought I was home free...

My latest craigslist find... mated with a true 5hp Dayton 1725rpm motor. Acting a bit weird. It will steadily pump to 100-120 psi, then bog down to the point where the centrifuge unloader pulses off and on. The belts are shot but still holding. I marked a line across them and the pulley. After...

I know, stupid question... but I can't figure it out. I was using a right angle, front exhaust IR grinder with a 2" sanding disc to strip a metal shelf of paint. I usually oil every tool before daily use but I didn't today. I wasn't expecting the grinder to spit out anything, but after 1/2+...
