Thanks to all for the great responses. I'm going to sell it on CList and will be sure to use the info provided.

I got the above set in a trade. Its accuracy is certified by General Electric Installation & Service Engineering, and is annotated as .007 mm. It lives in a cloth covered box and is in pristine condition (the outer portion of the box is worn from age). The tool and its extensions look as if...

Looks to be the original colors. I can't see any indication of a repaint. Thanks for the vote of confidence on oversizing the wheels. I'm going to give it a try with a 7" x 1" x 1" (reduced to 1/2") 100 grit "green" wheel. I can't find a wire wheel in 7" so I will be going with a 6"...

1278. Forty years old last Christmas and looking like a showroom star. I'm still nervous about replacing my 3/4" width grinding wheels. I can only find the replacement wheels I want in the 1" width. Measurements seem to indicate they will fit without conflict, however, I would appreciate...

A Short Story and a request for help I never knew I was a victim of Craftsman Block Grinder addiction. It came upon me suddenly, when, a few weeks ago, I got rid of my underpowered, no name bench grinder. I knew I wanted the replacement to be more powerful, to have less vibration and to be...

Great ideas. If I needed more room, I would want just the config change you detailed. However, with the basic 24 drawers, I am beyond my current and projected storage needs. I need to stop trying to improve beyond my requirements and just sit back and appreciate what $720 plus tax provided...

The basic idea is just lift off the top and move each box thru tight space(s) to new location, align and replace top. Tried it with current test top and works great. Really cheap way to get lots of storage and huge (80 x 24) worktop. I emptied a 72 x 24 Snap On KRL into it, and still have...

Thanks. Been thinking just about the same thoughts. I plan to try 24" and cleating both sides and rear. If not stable enough, I will add cleats to front, but would rather avoid them for esthetics.

I posted my idea of tying 3 x 26” US General roller tool boxes together to form a “3 bay“ box that would separate easily for moving. I decided to try this when I saw that Harbor Freight was offering them at $239 apiece. I was asked to post pics when finished. Here they are. I don't think...

I'm not finished yet (no top) however, here's my solution to the long stuff. I have a few shallow trays that came in snap On 29" drawers. Here's a pic of one with a pink liner. Also, here's a pic of it in place on top of the "triple bay". It still leaves a huge amount of work area. You...

Here's one. I plan to "tie" them together with a common fitted top.

Thanks. Easy Peasy, just like you said. I now have a bank of 24 gleaming black and chrome drawers 80 x 22 x 40.5! A total of 29,400 cubic inches of real quality storage for under $750. Of course, I could have bought a Snap On KRL 722 for $6000 more (and got 6,000 cubic inches LESS Storage)...

Just picked up 3 black ones that I mean to line up together and still have the opportunity to roll one away. Has anyone unboxed one of these new series 2 models? I'm pretty sure the casters need to be assembled, and I would like to avoid opening the box improperly and having to struggle to put...

Sorry about the color shade, guys. I think in good light it is dark grey to black. Mystery solver, BTW - it's a Torin.

Guys, I just picked this up. The base measures 56.5" x 42" x 22". The top of course is same width and depth and is 25" high. Opening the cabinet door reveals a pull-out vertical with a drawer shell on top. The vertical has multiple 3" diameter holes in it and space on either side probably...
