    Robbins & Meyers Fan Restoration

    I appreciate it! I tend to mess with a fair amount of rusty tools and things, but I am far from experienced. Pretty sure I've learned almost all of the little tips and tricks from everybody on this forum, and then the rest from just doing. The blade came out well It's taking me a few days to...

    Robbins & Meyers Fan Restoration

    Ok, so here's a brief progress update. I'm in a productive mood and looking to bang this out! I started out a couple day's ago by unbolting the wire guard and using a pulley/bearing puller to remove the 16" blade. The guard sat in the electrolysis tank for 2 days before I started the project...

    Robbins & Meyers Fan Restoration

    Thanks! This is my first one, they are incredibly well built. Not sure on age but somewhere in the 20s-30s Oh that's awesome! Thanks! I am considering selling it when I'm done actually. I personally don't have a place to keep it and actually use it an enjoy it, so I think I might try and find...

    Robbins & Meyers Fan Restoration

    Vise and Grinder stands. I'm looking for ideas on how to use several in limited space

    I don't believe I've ever posted my grinder stand in this specific thread, so here goes! I keep all of my spare pulleys, gears, turnbuckles and hinge hardware organized in the lower drawers. I leave the top few free to keep loose parts I am working on, vicegrips, arbor wrench, extra wheels...

    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    After looking forever I finally found one! Pretty dusty but in good shape and only missing a shield. The tag is really weird though, only contains model, serial # and Sears. What does that mean? Isn't that info necessary for sale? Anyway, I got it and the cabinet for $15, It runs smooth and...

    Had a nice weekend of acquisition, so far at least! Woke up to this "universal household motor" and breast drill outside my doorstep. 32 volts ac or dc, brushes are still usable and it is in perfect shape, the spring tension is nice and tight too. No idea what to do with it. And the breast...

    Well I bought another old shopsmith...

    For the right price I would encourage you to try one! I have only had a functional one for a couple months, but it is cool. The newer ones are more functional than the 10 series but both can be workhorses! Not a great table saw but fantastic drill press, lathe, mortiser, disc sander, buffer and...

    Well I bought another old shopsmith...

    I've been kind of absent from this forum this summer, taking a little bit of a break from shop fun to work non stop and do summer fun things. Anyway, thought this was worthy to post about. :3gears: My other 1947 10e is 97% done restoration, just needs a couple knobs here and there to complete...
