Just something that works really. Looks like the original one, which I used to still be able to get through sears parts and even eparts.com is no longer made/discontinued.

Been a long while since I posted on here. Have a grinder that needs a lampshade. I can't remember where to pick up one that fits the block grinder. Does someone have a link to it buy chance?

Up for sale is a completely restored 1940 Craftsman "Alien Head" 6 inch planer. Everything has been cleaned up and is ready for service. Comes with two sets of knifes, bunch of spare parts, stand and motor. Will hold with full payment. Will not ship. Will deliver within a 100 mile range from...

Merry Christmas eve and for tomorrow Merry Christmas. God bless

Yeah I've been having a hard time finding some good steel flanges as well.. just cheaper flimsy aluminum ones.. Thanks I'll see if that place still has them..

Awesome! Thank you.. Also where are you getting flanges from?

What size wheel is on the 1/3 HP blocks, 1" or 3/4"? I cant for the life of me remember. I know ots 1/2" arbor.

Hahah thanks....

As much as I didnt want to I just used rivets to secure the switch plate to the grinder.. if it come down to putting an OEM switch back in I can just fill the holes with JB weld and you never know once its painted.. Ran a bench test and all ran like it should. Also finally added the rubber...

So in theory I could solder the black wire from the light to the white wire going to the coil right? Since they both went to the same terminal on the orginal switch or am I missing something?

Couple washers?

It's one I did about a year ago. I believe I posted it on here when you got me hooked on these hahah. Unfortunately I forgot to take more before pics.. But here it is just encase. Had replica sticker made for it. Orginal on left replica on the right... I still haven't put it in haha..

So heres the two switches that I ordered. Got two different brands just encase one didnt fit right and if they both dont, then back to the drawing board

Also how did you wire the light to a two pole switch?

Iam not either really. Upset that this one got busted during my move. Oh well... Thanks for the link. I'll take a peep.. glad to see this post is still alive. Been a while since I've been on here. Sad to see alot of your pics and links are broken on the 1st page...
