Here’s a picture of the sander side disassembled

Just picked up this 1/3hp. I’m excited about the sander on the right side. Does anyone know anything about it? I thought I had seen it in catalogs in the past, but of course can’t find it now. It looks properly mounted so I’d assume it’s a craftsman attachment. Any info is appreciated

Looks fantastic. What are you using to polish the parts? I sent you a pm about the parts as well

What are the chances you’d consider selling your now extra parts?

It turned out great! I’ve been getting the rubber feet from Lowe’s. They fit perfect and look just like the factory ones. I have on grinder with the factory feet and the ones from Lowe’s are perfect. I’ll attach a picture of the bag. I always have to scrounge around the drawers at Lowe’s to...

Torqueman, I’ve got my eye on both of those. Hoping I get lucky and they’ll be available next weekend!

Just picked up this 1/2 hp 397.19590 Curious if anyone has spare larts laying around. Mostly looking for: Left outer cover Left housing Both eye shields It’s not the nicest yet but it’ll look great when I’m done with it. Do these 1/2 hp take the 6203 bearings like the 1/3 hp do? I haven’t...

I look forward to watching your progress. I am just about finished with my second block grinder. Hopefully this weekend I’ll finish it up. I guess I didn’t realize someone was producing labels for these. I’ll have to message Mattblast.

Roberts, That’s turned out great! Really amazing work. What color paint did you use?

Picked up a two craftsman grinders. One being a block grinder. Already tore down the block and getting it ready for paint and new bearings. Sold the newer craftsman already. Got both for $50. Thought that was a pretty good deal

Posted this in the garage sale thread but forgot about this thread. My $20 Marketplace find on New Year’s Day. Wilton 930 key is stamped 6-46. Looks to be all original paint. I’m going to try and clean it up gently and leave it. Maybe one day I’ll get lucky and find a swivel base for it...

KMScott, The width is 1.9085. So not quite 2”. But probably close enough to call a 2”. Jaws don’t look to be modified The weight is 21.3 oz. Or 1lb 5.3oz.

Scored this craftsman block grinder today for $50. Not as good as my Wilton score, but it’ll do! It runs (ran) beautifully. Upon taking it apart to clean it up, I discovered the sheathing on two of the wires is severely dry rotted. Hoping I can fix it Might as well throw a pic in if my $20...

I think I started the year off right! I’m hoping this is a sign that this will be how this year goes for me. I literally searched marketplace and Craigslist for hours yesterday morning, because I had a free day. I was even willing to drive up to 3 hours. Needless to say I couldn’t find a deal...

I just got this littlestown no 1 in the mail today. Didn’t see it on the spreadsheet. But I’m not entirely sure I’m looking at the most up to date version of it. If you want more detailed info let me know and I’ll grab it for you
