All I know is that I cut a padlock with a pair of Klein dykes by placing the handles in a vise. I think they loved it and I still use them. :)

Picked up a small format table saw. Very common I know, but I like the casting too much to pass up. Labled Dunlap and tagged Sears & Roebuck. Should be a fun, easy resto. The fence is very nice. Smooth and accurate. Missing the guard and miter guage. Guards of this age are not very useful...

Thank you!

Any vise gurus here? I am wondering about model and year of this Wilton. Thank you!

I am restoring one myself. Working on getting a motor and controller to do a DC conversion. Mine is just a benchtop model. I 3D printed some knobs for it the other day. Works good so far.

Sure!

Miter saws and radial arm saws should use a zero or negative hook blade. Table saws us positive hook. Also, More teeth should be used for cross grain cutting than ripping.

Pretty pumped about this purchase. It needs a few things and a good trip to the electrolysis tank, but it sides and runs! Gotta try to find the date of manufacture today. Should be in the 50s. Trying to locate a bolt for the guard. Anyone know the name of this kind of bolt or where I can...

A forum member here has been after me to check this place out so here I am! Looking forward to learning a lot!
