Would you be willing to make me one of these? Should be really easy since it is almost identical to the one you made tommyp from his above post in 1/12/19? I was going to restore this grinder, the only thing stopping me was the sticker. Just let me know what I would owe you, I certainly don't...

You are correct. I just looked up a few part numbers on that site and they cost more than the grinder is worth. I'll have to either find some used ones on Ebay or come up with something else that will work.

I just got a Baldor 7306 grinder and an old Reed 205R vise for free, was my grandfathers. The grinder still runs smooth but it needs to be cleaned up and painted. As you can see in the picture both guards are missing along with everything that attached to them. Anyone know a good place to by...

Thanks for the info guys, I figured someone on here would know who made it.

I am new to this forum and have learned a lot just browsing around. This morning I saw this very cool and very old drill press on Craigslist for only $200 and thought I would post a picture of it here in case you guys don't look at the Craigslist deals section very often. It's large and looks...

Really cool looking and very old drill press for only $200. I know nothing about it or the owner, just wanted to pass it along. I would love to have it to fix up but I'm too busy at work currently to go look at and figure out how in the world I would get it home. It looks VERY heavy...

If anyone in NC or VA has 3 phase in their shop this looks like one heck of a deal. The same seller also has a shaper, planer, and a jointer. Band Saw - $250 (143 Riverview Ave., Danville, Va) Rockwell/Delta Band Saw, 78" H X 42" W, 220 power. http://danville.craigslist.org/tls/5989775034.html

I'll second this suggestion. I have white metal for my ceiling and it is awesome. Like Harley said, you can get 12' pieces so you should have a little overlap. They can easily span the 4' so you won't need to add any additional framing up top to support it and you won't have to paint it. It also...

Certainly not saying electric resistance heat is a cost effective way to heat but I have decided to go this route because I don't have access to natural gas and I will only heat my shop on average probably 5-6 days a month. I almost put a wood stove in it but I don't feel like messing with it.

Where I live propane is $2.60/gallon and electricity is $0.0935/kWh. If you use 80% efficiency for the propane heater and 100% for electric, 1 million btu would cost $35.58 for propane and $27.26 for electric making electric heat cheaper than propane.
