So what did you buy today

[furb]

Those Big BULLETS are far and few to be found. Are you thinking of the battery charger and a sacrificial chunk of iron with water And baking soda? (for the RUST)?

I sprayed it with Gibbs penetrating oil. I was going to make wood wedges to get below the jaws to put some pressure and keep spraying. I had a really rough 4” I got loosened up this way. The guy it came from bought everything at auction then filled his place. This was sitting there behind a truck he stopped driving in 2015 so it showed up around then. Stuff got unloaded on the driveway and stayed there.

Don’t used baking soda
You need soda carbonate for an etank

Vice Restoration w/ Electrolysis

Hi, so I bought a large bench vise and want to clean it up. I think electrolysis is the way to go, but I've never done it before. How big of a piece of scrap do I need in comparison to what I'm putting in the tank? I've seen videos of people using laundry crystals, is there any certain ratio to u...

Electrolysis Rust Removal... A vice this time!

Err, OK so I took a chance and bought an old KURT 6" vice and if you know anything about vices you'll know KURT are bloody expensive I could never justify buying a new one but this one came up on Ebay and I thought I'd take a punt... This is how I picked it up... So into the...

This might be a little off topic but how are you guys cleaning up a rusty chain? I have found Muriatic Acid does a fair job on some old chains here. Of course you got rinse and oil them after the dip.

for really stuck stuff I use a 50/50 acetone & ATF mix. otherwise PB blaster or WD-40.

An Arboristsite member recommended that years ago for rusty chains. That's what I've been using ever since. It really works great on chains that have been left outside.

I love love love the 372xpw. Today I found one like brand new. Bet it doesn't have 3 tanks through it. Came with 2. 28inch sugi light bars that are new and 4 new chains!

I have a 45 gallon plastic barrel where I have hung 4 strips of stainless steel I cut from a fridge door a old style constant amp battery charger. I had a 6 amp and a 3 amp and noticed no difference in time it took to remove everything from cast iron, saw chains, bars, rusty tools ect. I used two tablespoons of soda carbonate to a gallon of water

 

[Junk Meister]

Try an e-tank sometime.
Works on the most rusted of vintage chains as well.
Found a pipe wrench that was buried,hung it in the tank and a week later it was functioning.

Is your Stainless NONMAGNETIC? Did it accumulate rust?
I have a fair size 120 VAC to 12VDC forklift battery charge I need to check out It has a fair amp output.
I did the BAY looky lou about soda carbonate and they referred it as soda ash .. Makes me wonder what wood as is and will it work.
Long day time for bed.

I don't think you want to use stainless. It will put chromium into the solution,....and then how will you dispose of it?
