I realize the post is years old but last week the gear on my saw failed and I too can not find a replacement. You mentioned in your post about having someone make a replacement. Do you have any recommendations who could make one for a reasonable price? The gear is plastic, do you think a...

Market Place score

I picked up this Craftsman tool cart for cheap last week and after cleaning it up a bit, I tried to find some information on Google regarding its age etc. but nothing came up. There is a tag in the drawer that says "when ordering parts please refer to this number #13813-AD-G" but I couldn't...

Thanks for the suggestions and info!

I have an old Craftsman table saw that has a repulsion start induction run motor. About 18 months ago the motor would not self start meaning I would have to spin the shaft to get it going. I dis-assembled and cleaned everything even going so far as to disassemble the shorting ring (necklace) to...

Its simple but I like it, and I did it all for less than $1000. The house that we bought two years ago came with an unfinished detached garage. With a bit of Market Place and classified add searching plus some dumpster diving, I was able to insulate and finish the inside of my garage. The...

Has anyone built an apple scratter? I will be constructing one soon and would appreciate any suggestions and ideas.

I have a mature Black & Decker rotary / demolition hammer that I would like to get a spade bit for but an unable to find a similar shank style from other manufacturers. Does anyone know of a brand that will interchange with what I have? The hex portion is 1/2" thick and 1 1/2" long. Thanks

Almost 40 years ago a dear friend gave me this table saw because it wouldn't cut anything thicker than a 1/4". Turns out the grub screw had fallen out of the pulley. Since then it has never failed me. Today while ripping a 2x6 in half the saw bound up and tripped the circuit breaker. Upon...

That is very nicely done!

Start with the simple, check your plug and wiring connections, is the motor getting full voltage and amps that it needs. A broken wire my read 110v but will be unable to provide the current flow to keep the motor spinning. If you turn the motor on and only a loud humming noise is heard then...

I thought I would share my recent experience fixing my compressor in hopes it will benefit others. I have an old Devilbis tank with a Harbor Freight twin cylinder pump and a no name 5hp 240v motor. It has worked flawlessly for the past seven years powering my air tools, sand blaster, paint gun...

Its being old enough to know better but young enough to do it again

Talk to the company owner, maybe he is a stand up kind of guy and will man up to it and take care of it. Stranger things have happened.....

Proof that you are never too old to learn new skills!

This was a fun little project. I saw one on the internet and as well as GJ. I also learned that you can't score and snap tempered glass, but that's a story for another day.
