I picked this one up a couple yrs ago and restored it. Fortunately it was all there and only needed a new switch and a lot of love.

Thanks Scott, appreciate the encouragement. Ive got a 74 I’ve just finished, so I’m picking up the missing pieces for this one as I run into them. I think I’m down to the depth gage and top cap now. I’ve got a couple motors(GE, Dunlap) I could use, will decide which at some point. In the mean...

Hi Mike, for the large end I have a surface plate. I set on that and turn and tap with a 1/2” brass drift where there’s a gap. Takes a few spins and they flatten right out. My splitter is a small one and there are much larger ones that would work for the other end. They seem expensive and hard...

Thanks guys, I’ve gotten a ton of good info and help here so happy to be able share what I can! Im fortunate to have a lathe and mill so i cam make a lot of things i can’t find or are to costly. Heres a couple parts that were missing on a Delta 220.

I have found them to be fairly malleable if not too stretched. You certainly have to work slow and take small taps if using a flat punch. With the bearing spitter you are capturing the rim in the bowl of the splitter and slowly working it back. The pressure is evenly distributed which must help...

I picked up a Craftsman 150 which came with a bent motor pulley. Pictures speak for themselves As to how i fixed that.

I used .030 Superarc with 75-25 gas Lincoln Le 31 MP welder set on F and 5. I had an old cracked and messed up Delta table to experiment on. I have threaded bigger !/2’’ through holes and filled with cut bolts before welding on some repairs, others like this i welded up in layers. I also hit...

thought I’d throw this in as although it isnt perfect, its better than it was. Mig weld repair on arc of shame on my Mohawk restore.

I love it!!!! And remember, admitting you have a problem is part of the cure. Admit nothing. Lol

I’m old, its old, and I’m an addict. I ran across this on EBay. Although it was in Vegas and I live mostly in Alaska, I have a second home there too. I made a deal with the seller and asked my Vegas neighbors to pick it up for me. Thats my story and I’m sticking with it. I finally got down here...

I agree, has DP220 features all over it. I found a DP 220 im going to look at.

I ran across this Atlas 64 at a garage sale and it kinda jumped in my truck. It’s a bit of a train wreck, missing the quill lock assembly, the depth gauge, the quill cap, one handle, and the tension spring cap. In addition, The resilient motor mounts are shot, the pinion gear has a galled tooth...

Picked up another block grinder, nice condition. 6’’ 1/2 hp.

You don’t like that 60’s look switch? Lol.
