Here is a decent looking machine in Cedar Rapids for $100. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/139317224300431/?ref=share_attachment

Here is one in Des Moines that isn't too badly priced: $75 https://desmoines.craigslist.org/tls/d/des-moines-vintage-craftsman-drill-press/7077224057.html

Re: 115.6965 Grinder I have been scouring CL and FB Marketplace to mount one of these next to my drill press. Always too far for me. I am very jealous.

Re: The Classic Craftsman 100/150 Drill Press Who is hiding behind the blanket?

This one has been on Cedar Rapids Craig's List locally for quite a while. If I weren't laid up for the winter, I would go look at it. $65 seems like decent price. https://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/tls/d/cedar-rapids-vintage-craftsman-drill/7009835443.html

I'd like to find a decent Craftsman box grinder. I had a 1725 rpm motor on bench with grinder wheels on it. I used it for correct motor when I restored drill press. Using a 3450 motor off a table saw right now but it is too fast. Anything decent around here is costly or too far for me to travel.

If I were closer to LaCrosse, I would be all over this for $45. https://lacrosse.craigslist.org/tls/d/la-crosse-vintage-floor-drill-press/7004864465.html

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2352318771689554/ Anyone need a new motor? I can't afford it.

Thx.

I recently bought a used Craftsman tool box. It has quite a few scratches and I would like to repaint it in matching red paint to my other Craftsman tool boxes. Is there a comparable paint? The whole box doesn't need painted but I would like it to match. Thx. Bear

If anyone has an extra $500 burning a hole in their pockets. https://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/tls/d/cedar-rapids-craftsman-drill-press/6892467152.html

$150 Northern Iowa. Not mine. https://masoncity.craigslist.org/tls/d/osage-craftsman-vintage-drill-press/6865086993.html

Patrick. Cherish your drill press. My father bought mine back in the mid 50's. He passed away from colon cancer in 1963 at age 30. It remained in my step-father's blacksmith shop until a year and a half ago when he passed away and I was able to get my hands on it. It was pretty nasty looking...

Wish you were going to part this one out and sell me the headband. I can only wish. :)

Seen this critter in Davenport for $60. Looks like it would be a good project for $60 if I wasn't laid up. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/242049896505566/?ref=netego_ssfy_www
