It's a really great tool, I'm still sifting through my father in laws tools, finding things like this that are a real treasure. This tool has lasted one generation for 60+ years and now I am using it. How cool is that.

That's what I said my problem was, I was not using it correctly, without someone to show me how to use it I was lost.

Thanks for your resources again. :D

I Just checked this out and it works great.:bounce::bounce: This is a great tool, I'm glad it works even if it's 60+ years old.:bounce::bounce: They sure don't make them like this anymore. Everything is made in China, and it don't last long.:sad:

I'm now at the third project.... The table saw, and I need to get some information about it. The shell as we spoke about it before has a hole cut out in the side panel, I want to replace it, now, will any 113.XXXXX fit it? Will a 8" saw shell fit it???? Thanks for any information. I've...

:thumbup: runs excellent......

The cracked pulley has been replaced! Thanks for everything, the parts worked great.

I was able to repair the leak. The gasket was leaking and when I removed the old leather gasket and replace it with a rubber one it was gone.:willy_nil

That's nice, and hard to find quality built hand tools, Craftsman screwed up when they start making tools in China, I'm set for life, I just feel bad for the next generation. Growing up, I never appreciated quality built tools, now I regret that I wasn't more mature, I would have done things...

Anyone else with any more ideas?????

That's new, I'm really proud of my vintage collection on my shop walls. This is just some.....
