I always like the harrow blade stands. Heres my craftsman grinder stand. I never really liked wheel stands but now that I have one, It’s growing on me. I made a hanger for a metal quench pail, so I can cool hss tool blanks, or anything when grinding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After looking on google images, it looks like the part is pretty basic. I think the original may have been cast iron. A piece of steel flat bar would work too. Looks like it’s just 2 drilled and tapped holes and a slot milled on one end. I might be able to handle that if you can’t find anyone...

Haha nice find, wish there was good stuff to buy around my parts!

I have the plain 3 ton jack, have had it for a year or more. I have left it outside for quite a while and after bringing it back inside see no problems with it. The pressure release is a little fidgity, it can be a little hard to get used to, but really no problems. I use it to lift my 4500...

Exactly what I was gonna say. I heard about this from Frank Ford on his luthier website. I have been doing it and it works great for single cuts

I would go with a 24 ounce or whatever is closest to that (I don't know what weights the snap on hammers are available in). I have been using a 24 ounce deadblow for a while and get a lot of use out of it, I almost never need a smaller one, and rarely need a bigger one.

I'm in Arizona, so most of these stores I haven't heard of. Now that I think about it, I might have seen some tekton in a brick and mortar store, but can think of where it was. Might have just been a mom and pop shop.

Where do you usually see them in stores? I have never personally seen tekton anywhere but online. Yeah I saw that larger set, definitely looks good.

Thanks for pointing that out! I guess it was pretty obvious. I'm not well versed on all the brands and what not. That is pretty cool! I though tekton was just another chinese selling company. I just happened to see the Grace branded punches in the suggested products section and made the...

Have you guys seen this tekton product before? I just happened to be searching Amazon and this showed up. It looks pretty decent for a chinese made product, maybe a little pricey. Appears to be the same as "Grace" brand punches. I like the base. What are your opinions...

Wow! I love that! Excellent job! Be proud of that, I sure would be!

They are pretty handy, and not just for drill presses either, I use one for all sorts of stuff. I would pay no more than 15 for that stuff myself, but I wouldn't drive very far for it either. Who knows, maybe the seller has some other good tools he's willing to sell too?

Definitely replace the batteries. I have seen online some cheaper aftermarket batteries for different brands of cordless tools, if you are really wanting to save some money, but I have never tried them. As for ryobi, I like them a lot. In my experience, ryobi's lithium batteries have lasted me...
