Thanks, I'll have to try that

Very nice, similar but I've spotted some differences. How did you get the post and surfaces so shiny? What do you do to keep it from rusting?

fixed! Let me know if you still have problems viewing them. I now know the process for adding photos to the album, so there shouldn't be an issue in the future. As a reminder, here is a link to the entire album https://goo.gl/photos/d5ZZBc9q47sf7prG9 Thanks for looking and I appreciate your...

Sorry all, I see what I did wrong. The original photos were in a google shared album, the rest of the photos were not in this album. I'm adding them now and will adjust as needed if the url changes

So... I've started restoring the motor. I can see my grandpa did some rigging to change the switch location. I'm wondering where the original switch location was and what it looked like? I've also messed up it seems in removing the motor cover and broke a tooth off and cracked the housing...

Sorry for the late response, but here is a better picture.

ok, I measured and got 6 1/2", so it would be a 13" model, correct? I've been using the reference number 101.XXXXX to find information but I'll look into the atlas number as well. I'll keep an eye out for one. I see this one (which ended) for $54. I've taken a closer look and still can't see...

Thanks, I assumed that but this brings up another question. Do I need to replace or repack the bearings? How can I tell?

Will do, thanks. It seems all the info I find about this press has come from there.

Thanks, I'll look into using this method. I'm definitely interested in keeping it looking vintage, so this could work.

Thanks for the quick response and multitude of information. I will take the measurement tonight and respond. As for the tag near the base, i think it was 45, but I'll check on that too

Now for the photos: Here is a link to the entire album I'd like to leave these couple of "mistakes" my grandfather made some good ole-fashioned rigging of a switch broken tooth Motor model is S-3900 (hard to read) removed motor, belt and pulley guard to relieve some weight...

My grandfather passed away almost a year ago, and knew I was into using and restoring old tools. He said he wanted me to get his drill press that he purchased new, a long time ago. I didn't get a chance to ask him much about it and my grandmother doesn't know much about it, either. I love how...

I picked up a 4HP 30gal Campbell Hausfeld horizontal compressor today that puts out 9.4CFM at 90psi. I saw it fill up until it hit pressure and it didn't leak. I think I got a decent deal on it and it seems like it's in good shape but I have some questions and am wondering what I should do...
