161. Air Compresser - Phase 2 (score: 1)
Author: dave.williams@chaos.lrk.ar.us (Dave Williams)
Date: Sun, 09 Mar 1997 08:58:00 -0500
I can't see that it'd make a lick of difference one way or the other. Go with the cheap stuff. Go for 3/8" ID hose and 3/8" fittings. The cheap stuff is 1/4", which will choke down tools that use a

Three phase motors are cheaper, lighter, more efficient, easily reversed, have high starting torque, and will give you fresher breath and whiter teeth. Unfortunately three phase power can be hard or

Happened to a car I was riding in. A '56 Chevy, in 1977 - a car only 21 years old. (most of my current fleet is older than that) It happened in the main line back to the rear axle, approximately und

Author: dave.williams@chaos.lrk.ar.us (Dave Williams)
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 06:54:00 -0500
It's not really necessary. For a street car, just drive it and the rust will come off. For a race car, or a street car with fancy racing pads, you might hit the rotor with a wire brush to knock off

You're not measuring a fastener, you're measuring how tight the bearing is. When properly assembled the bearing is no longer loose; the rollers and races are deformed very slightly with preload. You

Author: dave.williams@chaos.lrk.ar.us (Dave Williams)
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 1997 17:15:00 -0500
The problem is not "guage" itself, but that there are *many* of them. Which guage is used for measurement depends on what type of metal you're dealing with, and sometimes what industry it's used for

I have a two-point dial bore guage. The old T-guages are actually easier to use. How else are you going to find an out-of-round condition? You turn the guage 45 or 90 degrees and measure that way. T

A place where I used to work had a bunch of Bridgeport mills. Over the years Bridgeport had changed the switches. On some, the up position was forward, down reverse. On others, it was the other way.

Campbell Hausfeld recommends their own special oil, which is unobtainable locally, or Mobil 1 synthetic, which is what I use. Mobil 1 will pour fine at -20.

I've not heard of anyone doing it at home, though it's possible. I recently read Extrude Hone has switched to clay instead of the silicone putty they used to use. I should have thought of that on my

That's probably the best solution, though it will get grungy and torn after a couple of years. I've tried rolling the tools in towels and the like, and all it does it make them harder to get to. Plu

I bought one of the portable bottle sets about ten years ago, and a top-line Harris torch rig. I get, oh, maybe an hour, hour and a half of cutting out of a bottle set. I seldom do any welding. I bo
