You gotta use Google to find it, search "Lowe's" and the item number

Shows as $299 in Bonney Lake WA, so $249 after applying the discount.

Honestly I don't know enough about drill presses to say what it was, I just know the older ones are sought after on here so I post them when I see them. The one listed for 30 was a bench top model, the style with a cast iron head and exposed belt pulleys. The same guy had some interesting...

Maybe they sold it, here is an older looking floor model (same guy) price seems high at $175 for something that's Sat outside enough to get rusty, but I have no idea on value http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/tls/4995672043.html

Buckley WA - older looking floor drill press - $30 http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/tls/4998853346.html It looks like the same place has several ads, table saws, drill presses, some industrial stuff. Search Seattle CL tools section for keyword "Buckley". Most of the ads from May 1st you can...

In such a hurry to escape to the garage you forgot your pants? LOL

Tacoma Washington, older Craftsman bench top drill press for $80. No idea what they are actually worth, or what the COO is. http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/tls/4974418721.html

Another vote for a uni / step bit. The HF 3 piece set has surprised me. Recently used one too cut several 7/16" holes in 3/16 steel plate. I expected the bit to only live through 3 or 4 holes, but it did the entire job and still going strong.

I believe I've seen some positive info on here about the HF oil lubed compressors. They likely have the same parts as the other "budget" machines.

Screw compressors are awesome. Tons of air, quiet enough to stand next to and have a conversation. Unfortunately I don't have that much disposable income. I think the two we use at work were like $15k each. In the real world, there is no way I would buy an oil free compressor for stationary...

I've got a 3HP Sears 220v "Paint Sprayer" compressor. 20 or 30 gallon, not sure which. Picked it up on CL for $60 from on older guy who had bought it new. While it won't do what the big 60 gallon uprights can do, it surprises me how much it CAN do. I run an impact and die grinders primarily and...

Go with motor oil. From the reviews on HF site, it won't prime with actual bar oil. My experience backed that up.

Not sure this is your problem, but I agree with Charles. I'd hard mount the regulator to something, and run a line from the tank output.

Picked up an electric pole saw for around $60 plus tax. Like many, it took some running without the bar to get the oiler to prime, but then it was fine. Used it to cut some decent sized limbs off a cherry tree and it did great. Definitely a PASS.

In, thank you for the the chance
