ummm…you might want to anchor it, no?

They’re used extensively in NYC residential construction also (i think many major cities in the northeast like Baltimore and Boston. Yes in the kitchen too. Theyll hold up cabinets no problem. Steel studs give rigidity and the sheetrock/drywall provide the weight bearing. They’re cheap, goes up...

Thanks. It's my second one (you can see the first one in the background). I bought this one because it was 3-phase 3/4 HP, had a mechanical switch attached to the motor instead of the stand, had the lamp (but not an accessory specifically for the grinder), had the stand and all for less than...

Thanks aquinob and whitworth for the followup. I think I may have found it from the 1965 Industrial Catalog. It's No. 25-857 Lamp Attachment as an accessory for the Ram Type Radial Drill Press, although I'm sure it would fit other machines. It was attached to the electric box, which works...

Just picked up this Delta 12" Disk Sander. It's a 3-phase with a mechanical switch. I'll be running it off a VFD, but I'll keep the switch on to keep the originality. Can someone help identify this lamp that came with it? It looks like original to the machine. It's got the right shade of...

A grinder shouldn’t really be vibrating. Theyre generally very smooth running. Your wheels may be out of balance or you need new bearings. Try it without the attachment and see what you get

😳aagh! OSHA alert. You should’ve changed to LEDs while u were up there.

i liked them so much i also got the temp/humidity sensor and a couple more wifi smoke and CO detector. Their app is super easy, easy set up to connect with the devices and has great interface with the user. The notification alert is super useful and gives great piece of mind knowing that youll...

My 3VS says ‘Made in England’

glad ur doing this for ur dad. Not sure how mobile ur dad is, but rugs on floors can be trip points.

i bought these from Amazon that notifies your phone. I‘m very happy with them and I would give the 5 stars. they also have a water/leak detector and a CO2 detector that runs on the same app. X-Sense Smart Smoke Detector Fire Alarm with Replaceable Battery, Wi-Fi Smoke Detector, App...

Wait sorry. You do have the big jointer with the beautiful base!

doraviolins Love those machines and the violins on ur web site. I also have a couple of Delta machines from a 1949 jointer (date stamp on casting) to late 60s drill press and disk sander (and one bandsaw from the 1980s). My favorite is/are the drill press also. I have a 17-600 with a Reeves...

Production table is good (this is the larger version). Condition of table top? It's missing handle knobs. It's fair for $200. 13 hours is a whole tank of gas though.

I actually read a reference somewhere to the Delta foot pedal being nickel plated. Here are the pics. When I first got them I thought the paint was peeling, but it was peeling strangely. Also, it had a greenish tint, almost like what you get when copper ages. When you look at the pics you...
