Gentlemen, I need to do some basic testing in my home panel 200amp and detached 100amp sub panel. I also do some basic testing with electric motors 1/3hp-10hp, boat and car electronics. Some small appliance testing and repair, HVAC etc. I like the capabilities of the T5/6 600/1000/Pro and the...

I have been watching Facebook Marketplace for a month or so, posting questions here in the forum as they relate to the best home shop compressors and with the help of several members I was able to narrow down my search for compressors to build up for my shop. Saylor Beall 705, Champion R15...

I looked at it and thought it was a 325 pump but when I got to it found out it was a 350 and not 250 but 500 pounds in a little bitty fenced in backyard. I carried the 10 hp motor but have to go back for the pump and tank because I was ill equipped. I'm thinking disassemble pump, and jack up the...

I have found a few in my state and surrounding areas that interest me and I'm leaning toward the Kellogg. But I'd like to hear from any of you on your experience and why you'd go one way or the other. Impact guns, grinders, paint guns, needles scalers, sand blasting, general shop stuff use. I...

Hello Good People, I have a few handles I’d like to swap out, Press/Vise/Drill Press. I’m wondering for the ends would I be better served with a lever or ball knob and would it be a stronger connection with the ball knob being male or female? This little handle won’t cut it. And figured while...

I’ve got an opportunity to get this Mill locally and am trying to get any insight into it. The owner doesn’t seem to know much, he got it and never put it together. Wants it gone. I’m figuring out moving it and trying to get any insight.

This is my bench it’s 3’x7’ 1/4” steel, I am learning to weld and want a small fixture table I can set on it and bolt down to weld on. I have this little 1/2” thick chuck of cast iron but would like for it to be 24”x24” with a little vertical section. I was trying it out today trying to see...

I have this table that I’d like to build a shelf system into to house these parts bins. I have some steel and some wood on hand but don’t like waste if I can help it. How would you go about doing this?

This is the current setup, most of my tools are old, some good but a lot of junk too. So with this I wanted to have as much nice newer stuff and just put the older stuff back in the garage as I build up what I use to see if it’s worth investing in. Lights, knives, and stuff like that stay in...

Best Ratchets for light duty? I bought the Wera Zyklops after watching some youtube video's and really liked them. The 1/4" being a daily driver but the 3/8 and 1/2" sit in the drawer. I grabbed the 3/8's to tighten down the battery in my wifes minivan and it locked up, I haven't used it a half...

I have this awesome ratcheting flat head, but it would be really useful as a bit driver. I have the leatherman bit kit and a few most used bits in a small carrier. Any input?

I want to be able to take my grinding projects outside on my concrete pad. But also I want the table to be anchored in both the garage and on the pad. Originally I was looking for pedestals, but I think this may be a better way to go. I have a triangle shape in mind with the vise at the point, a...

My vise is pretty hefty at 130pounds, I’m interested in mounting it so I have two corners of the bench to utilize and have the static jaw flush with on both sides. The bench is over 2,000 pounds made of steel, 4’x9’ so I’m not concerned much about the weight tipping it. Would you mount the 3...

Have you ever seen a teetor totter pedestal for a belt driven machine before?

I just picked up this cool little scroll saw and we have a Lathe table we are going to modify to make it work as a stand but I'm weighing the differences in motor mounting and wondered if theres anything to consider before I make it happen?

I recently picked up an antique table saw, little bitty 8” Craftsman. I figured it would be ideal for small stuff, where my 10” would be more applicable to bigger stuff. It came with a 1/2 Hp motor, it doesn’t work but luckily I already had a 3/4hp that matches the machine ready to go. I’m not...

I have a rare antique bandsaw that didn’t come with the guide bearings. I haven’t been able to find another like it to follow. It’s a 14” Childs&Co and I’d prefer to keep the original guides if possible so I need to get a bearing that will fit and perform well. Any ideas as to which to pick and...
