I picked up this 1/3 hp motor off ebay for $6.50 plus shipping $30. Anyway it runs solid just needs a new set of bearing and some paint and it will be ready to be put on my Craftsman Drill Press 103.23640. Im in the final stretch and am looking for ideas on how to clean up the metal ring that...

I have been looking for a vise for my garage and came across this on cragslist. http://appleton.craigslist.org/tls/4388719349.html Is this an ok size and price for garage use?

Found this on CL earlier today and I am going to take a look at it first thing tomorrow. Looks a little rough in areas but wanted to know what you all thought and if the prices is right? Thanks for the help! http://racine.craigslist.org/tls/4387089269.html
