Thanks guys. SlowTwitch73, these are pretty neat old drill presses. There is a bit of info about them on vintagemachinery.org here http://vintagemachinery.org/MfgIndex/detail.aspx?id=2156&tab=3 I wish i knew the history of this one, but I just sort of stumbled into it. Id love to find a floor...

Hey thanks for sharing SundayFunday, thats a nice little thread. Yours looks very good as well.

Yeah i bought a ton of these on sale! Really like them.

It looks like maybe the imgur linked pictures are no longer working in my thread. Sorry about that. I have an album here if you need more info: https://imgur.com/gallery/0VjNwus I've been using this drill a ton and it works really well. I recently made a short video about a part I machined...

Hey all, Wanted to share a little rack I designed up and built. Let me know what you think! Mike

Whats preferred for hosting?

Hmm. Working on my end. This is the link to the first image but with brackets instead of parentheses. Anyone see anything wrong? (IMG)https://i.imgur.com/KfDvSky.jpeg (/IMG) EDIT - fixed I think? I removed the "s" from the http

I finished up a metals rack a couple months ago. Hope you guys enjoy it. Its 36" wide, 30" deep, and about 7 feet tall. The local metal store hooked me up with $75 of angle iron and I got to work cutting and pasting. I cut up some birch 3/4" plywood and routed grooves in them to prevent...

Ive been using the 1/2" drive one for a few months now and really like it. Having the flex head seems irrelevant at first but its come in handy. The 120 tooth is great as well, for getting into tight spaces. No complaints. Ended up ordering the 1/4" version as well and have used it a few...

Thanks to everyone who commented, you guys are really flattering. I am excited to share some of my other projects! I do have any videos of it, but i appreciate the idea. Will see if i can get to that. I've used it a dozen times now and I don't find my self using the lower end of the quills...

OK this was a big project, but I'm really satisfied with the result. I wanted a benchtop drill press.... This facebook marketplace ad caught my eye. $75 later and it was mine. My brother picked it up on the east side of the state and dropped it off to me. We had to disassemble it to lift it...

Hey Vise experts! I have an old Ridgid vise that I am working on. Its a 61SN that belonged to my grandfather: I have disassembled and derusted the vise, to see whats what. Unfortunately she has a lot of backlash between the retaining collar and the shoulder on the screw / meatball...

This one apparently does show you the torque value achieved. There isnt a whole lot out there on these wrenches right now. Seems like a great deal compared to a techangle. I just ordered the 1/2" drive 85196 from Amazon. Only $175 right now. Arrives on Friday so will share more once i...
