I'm a jeweler, and I have been cold forging my materials. I purchased a 50 ton press for a variety of duties, one of which is to flatten materials that I put through my rolling mill. After some work, the material becomes wavy. I need to make a foot to press the material after I anneal it and...

I'm new to machining, and I would like to know what kind of oils I should use for corrosion prevention and for cutting gold and silver. The hardness of the gold is similar to bronze. I am near the ocean, so I need to keep the metal surface lubricated with a film of oil. Thanks in advance for...

Hello, I picked up a rock island 595 in ok condition, and I am wondering what I should do with it. I want to strip the paint off and the newer (red) rust. The jaws have been welded. I'm wondering if I should grind them off and replace them or just leave it as is. I picked it up for a friend...

I came across an old tire pressure gauge I would like to save and make useable again. The only problem seems to be the rubber grommet is missing where you press it against the valve stem. Does anybody know what the name of this part is and where I may find one for purchase? I thought about...

I was at a garage sale today and I picked up a 40s plomb wrench, and at one time the entire wrench was spray painted black. Is there an appropriate way to chemically remove the paint without degrading the wrench? I'm thinking about soaking it in vinegar or perhaps something stronger. I know...

Hey there! Can some please take a look at these pics and help me determine what kind of vise this may be? I picked it up from a recently closed machinist's shop in town, where I live. I've lightly cleaned the vise and put it right into service on the Lyon workbench I picked up at a recent...

I purchased a Lyon bench from a local tool auction. The bench has a vintage paint job, but most of the work surface is bare metal. The bench was kept outside until the auction, and the bare surface has begun to rust. I was thinking about stripping the paint off of the work surface and clear...

If you could have tool from Santa this Christmas, what would it be? I would love a set of these wheel dollies for the #73. They are $250 each, though, so I am searching for some used stamped steel ones. Let's see what you are asking for. Happy Holidays, David

One of the expenses I have been putting off is to buy a good 1/2" rechargeable impact for the racing season next year. I've been looking at them for months now. I hate paying retail for tools, and this is not your normal garage sale item. I found this one at a flea market today. I got it for...
