For sale is an Allen Bradley 509-BAD magnetic starter. BAD does not indicate condition - it is the model with B indicating size, A , I think is enclosure and D is voltage. This is a NEMA size 1 capable of both single and three phase usage. It currently has a 120volt coil and W43 heaters. It is capable of handling 27 amps at 220 volts. The starter is currently wired for single phase input. Also included is a remote REES start/stop station in a Crouse Hinds cast box. This starter has been tested and all functions operate correctly. This is a used item but appears like new.
I don’t have much experience with these starters in terms of pricing – the only guide I have is Ebay completed auctions. I am asking $225 plus shipping (estimated at $15). If my pricing is out of line all reasonable offers are welcome.
Only one picture due to resizing requirements but feel free to message me for additional photos
Thanks for looking
Rick

For Sale: Millers Falls Smoohters; Stanley 9 1/2, Veritas Router and Chisel Plane, Ir |

First, terms. I'm an old fart and don’t have paypal or any other EFT gizmos, so payment by US Postal money order please, unless I recognize you from the forum then checks are ok; all prices are plus shipping and I’ll combine items to get you the best rate. First Private Message with an unequivocal “I’ll take it” gets priority in line and I’ll respond to every PM promptly with the best shipping rate via USPS. Please put your name and full shipping address in the PM so I can print shipping labels, this avoids a lot of back and forth. Multiple pics of the tools are in the link to a Flickr album, pics are in the order of my descriptions. Flaws, if any, are noted and pointed out as apologies and prices asked reflect those apologies.
Here's a link to the Flickr album with the pics:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/9433588@N08/albums/72177720326482811/
BOTH ARE SOLD First we have two Millers Falls #9 smoothers (Stanley #4 size, and the MF is the equal in quality to the Stanley). Both are very crispy, 95%++ original japanning, all original parts, I squared off the irons and reset the bevel of both irons with my Tormek, and mated the chipbreakers. In the first pic, the one on the right is the first set of detailed pics. Again, both are in very nice condition, no apologies except for the one on the left (second set) has a tote repair (solid) and a chip on the tote horn, but its japanning is a bit more crispy than the other one. Either plane will make a fine user. Take your pick for $40 plus shipping, you won't be sorry you did.
Next up is the Veritas chisel plane, they call it the "Cabinetmakers Trimming Plane," with the box. Gently used, pristine, as new. You can read about it in the Lee Valley description. Excellent value and can be yours for $125 plus shipping.
SOLD Next is a truly vintage Stanley 9 1/2 block plane; older model (patent date on top of lever cap) and all original, "Triangle" logo on iron dates to 1918; overall good shape, sharpen and hone the iron and you are in business. Loss of japanning on heel of lever cap, which given its age is to be expected; an old codger used this a lot and took good care of it, I picked it off the studs of an old one car garage where it likely sat for the last 60 years. Good value at $35 plus shipping .
SOLD Next up is the Veritas Medium router plane in the box; read about it on Lee Valley's site. This one has never been used, if you've got the large router plane, the blades will fit, this one was sold by Veritas without a blade, so you'll have to buy one if you don't have one. Good for the smaller jobs where more precision is needed, a worthy companion to the Large Router. Yours for $105 plus shipping.
SOLD Last up is a full set (#4 through #16) of Irwin pattern brace bits (note the $16 is a Jennings pattern, but that's a bonus); all in great shape, lead screws not buggered and good to excellent flute length on each bit, they are also sharp. I had an extra Stanley Jennings bit roll so I put the bits in it for ease of storage. Yours for $80 plus shipping.
Quality tools I would own, priced reasonably. Some of these won't be around for long given the pricing, so if you've got a puptent in your shop apron for something don't hesitate, snooze and lose. So again, please read the payment terms above. In your PM please include your name and shipping address so I can print mailing labels, this cuts down on a lot of back and forth replies.
Thanks for looking.

undermount sink w laminate countertop? |

SWMBO wants an undermount sink, but doesn't want the expense of granite or quartz, so we chose a laminate that she likes.
I see some options out there for installing an undermount sink with a laminate countertop and they appear to be reliable.
Have you done this and what method did you use?
Any issues or concerns with installation and longevity/use of which I should be aware?
Will the water eventually leak its way past epoxy sealants and damage the substrate anyway?
One of the methods I found incorporates the sink into the countertop substrate and results in gluing the laminate to the top rim of the undermount sink. That precludes ever being able to change out the sink without significant inconvenience.
One idea that I thought of that I haven't seen yet is to penetrate a chosen wood species with cactus juice and use that to make a rim of sorts (sections would have to be glued together with epoxy) under which the undermount sink would mount. This wooden rim would be integral to the rest of the substrate (which will be made with quality plywood) and the laminate would be glued on top of both the wooden rim and the rest of the countertop substrate, but not the sink. The exposed rim would be coated with epoxy and can be refinished as needed.
One advantage is that the chosen wood species would match the cabinets and the undermount sink can be changed out if needed with another sink of the same size if that were needed due to damage or something. Perhaps that still holds the same risk with water eventually leaking under the laminate if the epoxy sealants fail to protect.
Of course the chosen wood species couldn't be something porous like red oak without being well sealed. In my case it would be hickory, which has closed pores.
One disadvantage might be that if ever the cabinets are changed out (which is unlikely in my case) then the wood species at the sink rim wouldn't match unless the countertop is changed out too - which it probably would be anyway if I'm changing the cabinets.
What are your thoughts on this whole idea of an undermount sink with a laminate countertop?
thanks!
