That is a good question. I will have to check.

This is disturbingly similar, yet the entire casing around the drive side is different. Yet the base is off of this one: Still can find nothing on the Cleveland model. The guy I bought it from said he thinks it's from the 40's but I'm thinking it's quite a bit earlier. It was built in...

Anyone have any good sources for learning how to use a lathe? I just swooped this up for $300. Couldn't pass it up...now I have to figure out how to use it lol. Also, can anyone identify it? I cannot find any serious markings on it. I would love to come across a restoration thread or someone...

I love my flexzilla hoses. Just replaced everything at my business with them.

Just picked up a new Wilton today. It's nothing old and unique, but I wasn't seeing anything on craigslist and needed one stat. Picked this Wilton 11106 up for ~$116 shipped.

That's why it's going in my father's shop. I slowly keep taking it over with my projects/crazy tools. Not many younger early 20's folks around my area into these old things.

Re: Cans someone identify this huge old drill press I just bought? Yeah, it's already been moved home. Surprisingly only took about an hour and a half to get it moved and onto the trailer without a fork lift.

So I was at this auction looking for car parts...and one bad (or good =p) decision led to another and I walked away with this old beast for $175... It has a GE motor and a Jacobs chuck on it. All of the actual badges that are on it have been worn off beyond recognition. It's cast iron and...
