Thanks for the advice. If it's only 1/3 i don't think it will be worth the expense of driving to get it.

how much would you all say this grinder w/ stand and light is worth? it's up for auction but it's a few hours from me. i have a nice refurbished craftsman drill press. just trying to get an idea what something like this might be worth. Its at $45 right now with 17 hours left until closing.

here are some pics of the abandoned project, i got it pretty clean and completely disassembled. again, i'm only charging for shipping.

ive got a skilsaw 77 that i got for doing a restoration, tore it down last fall and started to clean it up. lost interest in the project and would love to pass it on to someone who would be able to complete the rebuild. the cost is free i just ask to cover part of the shipping. dm if you...

mine is not the closed loop, i guess i just need to put some threadlocker and tighten it down properly and not let the quill snap back full force

ok there were no retaining screws on the spindle pulley, that helped with much of the noise. (also it's currently sitting on a junk little stand so it's not bolted down or anything) while i was messing around i noticed the issue in the picture. when i got the drill it had a copper pin in there...

so i havent used my restored drill press much but tonight i was using it and thought maybe it was a little noisy so i started investigating sources of noise. firstly it needs to be mounted down to reduce shaking etc. but it still seemed noisiest at the spindle pulley. i checked it for "slop"...

started dismantling my model 77 tonight. I saw a date of 1977 inside the little cap over the trigger. it's pretty dirty, hardly any oil inside. everything looked good except for all the saw dust which appeared to be oil soaked. looks like someone took it apart at some point and tried to put...

i have some Wiha and Wera. I would recommend the Wera but if you're looking for something USA and a little less expensive, the Tekton at rural king look and feel decent for the price

I'm looking for a few parts for a Parker 272. front collar, swivel tighteners, and the little screw spring thing that locks the handle. i have posted in the wanted and the parts swap thread as well, trying here for those that might not see those threads

got a decent deal on a parker 272 but it's missing a few small parts. I'm looking for the two locking handles for the swivel base and the front collar

It’s a 4” weighs about 45lbs. I paid $40 for it. It was saved from a barn tear Down looks like it was hardly used

from other images i found on google it says "PAT'D"

Re: The Classic Craftsman 100/150 Drill Press I'm not sure. I guess I didn't realize it might not be stock. this dp was previously owned by an orthopedic device shop here locally so maybe it's a replacement after heavy use?

this is for sale in my area and I haven't seen this marking before. the seller says its the only thing on the vise. EDIT: i figured it out, Hollands Keystone
