SOLD: About 7 years ago I purchased a jointer/planer, and found a need to make adjustments to dial it in to acceptable standards. That is when I purchased the following: Starrett Model 380-72 Steel Straight Edge with Regular Finish - Not Beveled or Graduated, 72" Length, 9/32" Thickness...

Starrett Model 656-341 J I recently came across a couple of these extra-large sized dial indicators made by Starrett. This is an AGD Group 4 size, which has a 3-5/8” dial (compared to the more common AGD Group 2 dial which is 2-1/4” diameter). 1” range, .001 graduation. This is new in box. The...

I thought I would share this one: Delta Milwaukee Homecraft DP I restored last year. The Craftsman next to it was a restoration done by someone else, but it was my inspiration to try my hand at refurbishment.

Thanks!

I am in the process of rehabbing an old Craftsman bench vise, Model 506-51800. While removing the jaws from the vise body I mangled a couple of the screws and would like to replace them. Not so easy apparently. As far as I can tell (I am not a machinist or even close to being a machinist) the...
