I have a similar old vise, not much info on it either. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249129

How thick is the frame material? Did you ever fix the flexing problem? Anyone with a baldor know how thick the frame is on those and if it is an aluminum or steel frame?

KM, You should do a thread on your machine buying process. I to have been looking at machines but have height limitations. What is the max height of your TM-1 after you took the risers off of it?

Mpmckenzie, great grinder. I think that you could mount a delta mobile base wheel on the front of your grinder and it would solve you mobility issues. Rockler makes one as well. It should be pretty easy to replicate one like it. http://www.rockler.com/power-tool-mobile-base-hardware

If I missed this in the thread somewhere I am sorry. But what is the 2"x72" grinder in this picture here?

I got the stand built. It turned out pretty well.

Yes, It is variable speed, I have it hooked to a VFD right now, I will finish up the stand this week and post a final picture of it in my garage. I am not positive of my final cost, but I can tell you that the cost of those machines is what drove me to build my own.

What is the table saw they are sitting on? Looks brand new, and I see the biesemeyer fence.

CAT: the tag on mine is almost illegible as well, I could barely make out the Curtis on mine. Mine came from the Cessna factory in Wichita. I believe the top wheel swiveling is just a byproduct of the way the tracking works, on mine you loosen the black knob and it will pivot the top wheel. I...

Cat: I don't believe it is a homemade attachment. I have one very similar, mine has a 2"x48" belt on it. I have not been able to find any information on it either.

What mobile base are you using?

I'm not sure what the thread size of that handle should be but McMaster has a 1/4"-20 with a stainless handle for less than $25.

[/URL][/IMG] That is a 4" Wilton for scale. It's not modified, I have one that is similar, just much bigger, haven't been able to find too much information about them though.
