I have that disk/belt sander as well but mine is a jet branded unit JSG-6DCK. Only difference I can see is that jet rates it at 1.5 hp while the grizzly and enco are rated at 1 hp.

This should be made into a sticky thread.

That guys videos are so funny.

I have a single it's a great drill press.

I have a few ideas for a table lift, but honestly I haven't needed to adjust the table yet. But it does run good, yesterday I drilled about 20 3/4 holes through 1/2 plate, and 4 7/8 holes through 1" plate.

Now I wish all the drill presses I've owned had steering wheels on them. :lol:

I think the one in the pic is dated 77 sold under CTT. I knew they were around before 1980, but most of them I have seen and 4 out of the five I have owned were from 80 and up.

I bought that same lathe about 7 months ago for $200 it came with Enough tooling to get me started. It had been sitting in a barn with a dirt floor for the last 15 years. I did a full tear down repainted it and got it back up and running a few weeks ago. I watched a lot of youtube videos while I...

I know this is an old thread but it looks like I may have some clue as to who made my drill press now. Mabey I don't know, It looks similar to the ad but it also looks like one made by the Henry and Wright mfg. co. The steering wheel was definitely added by some one.

It's for setting the tension on the belt when changing from one pulley step to the next to change the speed.

So I'm back and we settled at 450. I will pick them up Monday, they both are in better condition than I expected they are covered in dust from the dirt floor. Any rust was very light surface rust nothing wd40 and a scotch pad wouldn't take care of, although I do plan on disassembling them for a...
