This week's finds/ scores

taumac · Jan 3, 2014

I'm always amazed on what people toss out. Sometimes its **** and sometimes its really good or can be used for parts or repurposed. First score this week craftsman 10" compound milter saw.

Issue broken lock down handle. Fix tighten the nut on bottom to lock down.

Second score is a mobile evap ac unit or swap cooler as I know it

Issues dirty and missing one plastic tube to the left side. FYI. Wiring with plug and wire nuts just to test unit. 2 fans speeds work and pump turns on. I know its cold outside at moment but its got be nice when summer comes and think by then ill get to it on my project list.

I got my favorite circular saw out of the dumpster at work. I already had an old Craftsman saw, but this B&D was much nicer, and had more power before it quit. I simply took it apart, emery clothed the armature, and reassembled it. That's been several years ago, and it still works great.
