Cool, nice to know an idiot with a complex doesn't like me. GTFO the thread. You are obviously not interested in helping anyone. "A legend in your own mind" seems to fit here.

OK now your are just acting like a 12 year old! Please grow up! Again you are having problems with your comprehension! No where did I say that I told them "specifically stated you wouldn’t buy it from them because your didn’t want to pay their pricing" they didn't help when I had a problem...

No you need to re read, your reading comprehension is is bit off. I can spell it out again for you. I have no issues with black and decker at all stuff happens and it was a reasonable replacement. The issues was with Arc Zone themselves! All of this is listed in the quote if you take time to...

I have one. Mine is still corded so yes they have changed in 15 years.

I have had a ArcZone tungsten grinder (Sharpie) for about 15 years now. I would NOT recommend it over the Eastwood though... even at the $250 I paid back then. The Black and Decker rotary tool failed a few years after buying. They had a design fault in the motor control that's been corrected. I...

Yes I have a "6"hp craftsman shop vac that runs on a 15 amp 110v circuit and never trips it! So their marketing logic matches. I noticed the industrial craftsman 1/2" hp grinder about the same era (#397.19440) is 6.2amps vs 6.8 amp. So those were probably rated more honestly. Probably knew the...

You could always try texting like the ad says? Its not my lathe and I was not interested since I already have a 10" The ad was generic, I was the one who told the seller what it was.

This isn't a bad deal for a Logan 9" lathe, Oregon USA. https://roseburg.craigslist.org/tls/7572103400.html I got them to send me some pictures by phone. Not bad at all. Looks to be a longer bed length, probably needed it for gun barrel work with the small spindle hole.

The 3/4 is rated at 6 amps 115. The 1hp is 6.8 amps. I really think its more marketing than grunt, no way is another 1/4hp is only taking 0.8 amps. I looked for a date code, not there. I'm not unhappy with the purchase, just realize what I bought. Its probably close to a true 1/3-1/2hp 8"...

Thanks, but its just OK. Have you ever owned one? I have and sold it after about two years of use. They are OK, but every time I get one I start wondering what all the hype is about. This one was cheap so I bought it. Just wondering what I may have missed the first time around. One thing I...

The label is faded badly, but even from better examples on the internet, they say the same thing, just easier to read.

It looks like despite the 1-hp rating its not even 1/3 hp if rated honestly. I had another 1hp craftsman about 10-12 years ago, but let it go, it didn't seem that powerful or that smooth. I decided to give it a better look as some people apparently really like them. I did find out about...

I picked this one up this morning, it runs but needs some tlc. Its been outside in an open carport for years. This is actually the second 1 hp Craftsman I have owned. The last one went away about ten years ago when I decided that my 3/4hp import grinder had more power and was actually much...

My thoughts are a tool box vs a blow molded case, not big deal. Both are pretty easy to defeat. More effort spent getting the property secure would be the direction I would go. My corner lot is fenced all the way around with a 5 foot tall steel locking gate, Cameras from all angles can be...

Not new in age but new to me. I popped on craigslist for a minute this morning. The 1hp Craftsman 397 19360 grinder and the drill press vise where outside in the rain and need some tlc, but I think they can be cleaned up. Both tools for $60.
