    Brazing Cast Iron pump body possible?

    It's about time to start getting my irrigation system put back together and in working order which means I've now got to address a problem I've been putting off since Jan. Long story short I messed up and didn't fully drain my 1.5 hp well pump before going away for a week, so of course we had a...

Anyway, here it is: and here is a close up of the headstok, showing...

    Cleaning "Experienced" Cast Iron

    I noticed some rust on my table saw Sunday so I set to cleaning and rewaxing. Came out very nice but during the process I noticed that my saw top is very "experienced" (read that stained). I am wondering if anyone has any recomendations for removing stains, scratches, etc. My inclination is to...

    Casters & Cast Iron

    In my shop, tools MUST be on wheels. I just don't have the space. So, I ordered the same wheels I'm using on my larger bandsaw from Great Lakes Caster. I ordered knowing I might have hole size issue and other issue ... but figured I'd work around them. And ... I have two issues. 1. The...

    Iron Station to Coast

    I'd like to get a couple Walnut slabs from Kyle's place near Charlotte to the coast (Salter Path) or close. If anyone is coming this way or could relay at the picnic I'd sure appreciate the help. They'll be about 30" side and maybe 48" tall...Probably to large for a car... Thanks, Paula

    where can I find angle iron locally (Raleigh)?

    Hi, I have an MDF router table top that is warped. Someone suggested attaching some angle iron underneath it, near the edges, to level it out. I would guess that having each of the two sides of the angle iron be about 1" wide would be great. Where do I find angle iron, hopefully in a size...

    Back Bevel On Plane Iron

    I was working on two end tables this weekend that I'm building for the church. The legs are tapered on two sides and since they will be painted, I made them out of some soft maple that I had around. After cutting the tapers on the TS I took them to the bench to clean up with a plane. Every plane...

    What do you use on cast iron...

    for rust control? I've just been using Johnson Paste Wax. Don't know if this is good or not. I haven't had the tools long enough to really judge. Just curious what y'all use. Thanks!:-)

    Some big iron for sale by the state

    http://www.ncstatesurplus.com/ssp/public/display_bid.asp?bid=909196&dt=9/19/2006&type=1 If we weren't moving soon, I'd consider bidding on a couple of these. The Tannewitz Bandsaw would be a little hard to move at 1900 punds or so, but it sure would be nice to have in the shop.

    Ooops ! Know anybody that welds cast iron ?

    I managed to shear off the chunk of cast iron that controls the raise/lower mechanism on my planer. :slap: Know anybody that can weld cast iron ? Haven't gotten the call back from the dealer yet, but I suspect this part is really expensive to replace, since it is cast as part of a precision...
