Ultrasonic cleaner.
I kinda thought of this possibility ... would naturally need to be in some sort of solvent. My concerns would be that maybe the cleaner/solvent combo would allow the crud to get deeper in some places?

ProMac I really got sticker shock when I saw the price tag of your new compressor.I'm pretty sure you couldn't touch that up here in British Columbia for that price.

These things happen as you get older and 'aquire' stuff.Nice Grinder you got there, Bob.
Wish my Shop was as tidy as your's. I need to do some housecleaning so I can get around.:msp_biggrin:![]()

Yep! and the older I get the more I'm concerned about the here after. I walk in the shop and the 1st thing I think is "What am I here after ?".BigBadBob ~ These things happen as you get older and 'aquire' stuff.
I know where most things are, but many thing have hiding places in there. Same story at the cabin!!!
I find at my age I spend a lot of time searching!!!
Not sure I want a flex shaft turning 22,000 RPM.Bob that's a real skookum stand for the grinder.Nice job!
Wonder if you could put a flex shaft on the Dumore grinder?I would think you could as it has a chuck.I was thinking of trying to put a chuck on an old Rockwell trim router I have and then a flex shaft on it.I have a flex shaft that I use off of a Baldor electric motor but the RPM's are not that fast.

On the commutators... are they supposed to have continuity between them? Also, they have continuity between the big armature bars and the little commutators. I don't recall of that means it's bad or good. So far, I am fairly happy. The trigger slide plate needs to be fixed though.

I'm thinking JB weld or superglue? If superglue would work fine, I'd rather use that since I already have some around and wouldn't need to go to the store to get JB weld.
Do you have too many tools if you can't remember what you have?
I have accumulated many tools at garage sales, etc., that I put aside, forget I have, and rediscover. It's only really embarrassing if you go out and purchase something that you already have.
I have been posting things on Craig's List to get rid of stuff that I do not use or that is in the way.
Air hammer or air chisel? Depending upon what type of tool you put in the end it can be used to cut sheet metal, break apart masonry, drive rivets, scrape up old tile, etc.

If I was to compare my tool inventory to some that you guys have it would be pretty small indeed and that's just my Canadian friends on here.But a thought occurred to me the other day while putting in my 12th hour tidying up the garage.Do you have too many tools if you can't remember what you have?I was cleaning under the workbench yesterday and pulled out a silver toolbox,I remember buying it at a garage sale, empty.Well it seemed a little heavy for an empty box so when I opened it up what a bonus to find an older 1/2 inch impact wrench, Campbell Hausfeld Heavy Duty made in the USA and it's in real nice shape too.Forgot I even bought the thing.Also found a Jet air hammer,which I really don't know what you use the air hammer for,but maybe you guys can fill me in on it's uses.Also I have been running the air compressor a few times to check it out,it cuts out at 125psi then it drops to 120 and seems to sit there at that pressure.that's okay is it not?
Thanks
