    Stanley 697A 7” Bench Grinder Parts Sourcing

    I managed to land this old Stanley 697A on MP for $40. I cleaned it up and put some new bearings in it and now it runs damn near silently. Problem is, it wasn’t exactly complete. The last owner was only using one side and the other side only had the inner arbor flange on it. And no tool rests...

    South Bend Heavy 10L - How’d I do?

    Interesting update. Just got my order card from Grizzly. The serial number on the ways does not match the model number on the plate. Both seem to be from catalog 100B (that’s the only one I saw 187AN in) from 1941. The ways, at least, went to the Navy. I guess at some point something got swapped...

    Heavy 10 custom cabinet?

    The feet have holes. Haven’t checked if they’re threaded. Easy enough to fix that if they’re not.

    Heavy 10 custom cabinet?

    I haven’t found any pictures with a cabinet that looks like the one my 10L came on. I’m assuming it’s custom? The catalog number is 187AN, which I think means it came from the factory with no cabinet. That said, anything I should be wary of in regards to custom cabinets? It seems well built...

    South Bend Heavy 10L - How’d I do?

    Brought the 10L home today. Unloading was more work than it had to be, but we managed to get things mostly where they need to be. I’ll have to do some more disassembly to get it the rest of the way on my own. Seller sent me home with two more boxes full of stuff. I almost feel like I’m taking...

    Blacksmith vises 101 companies that made them, catalogs and history show and tell all

    Ha! Funny to see this thread get bumped, cuz I was looking at these in my garage the other day and wondered, “now, what the hell is that?” Sorry I don’t have any actual answers for you, CADjockey.

    How might one scarf leather together?

    South Bend Heavy 10L - How’d I do?

    The seller is actually including supplies for a leather belt. What he showed me connects the ends together with metal clamp things. Is there a better option than that?

    Everything that was in the box.

    South Bend Heavy 10L - How’d I do?

    Yeah. It definitely looks like that. The box was from the previous owner. I don’t think the guy selling it to me even really went through it. I’m not complaining, though.

    South Bend Heavy 10L - How’d I do?

    I’m not too worried about having gotten a deal, per say. More just checking that I didn’t miss something glaring and that it looks functional without a ton of work before it even makes any chips. Also, I’m relieved at the box of additional stuff. I’m very early in my journey and having at...
