This is my first foray into 3 phase machines and vfds...so this is probably super simple to most! The grinder is currently wired to a an old Rockwell pushbutton switch mounted in the stand. I have my vfd mounted above center and don’t plan to use the stand switch and would prefer to use just...

I'm planning to use this thread to document the cleanup/refresh/restore of my Rockwell Metal Lathe 11"x 36" model 25-100. Serial #1450825 which puts it in the 1967 date of manufacture. Some background: I stumbled across this lathe a month or so ago while purchasing a lot of older drill...

Picked up an older OTC 1833 press today, which I plan to dissemble, clean and paint. Hoping for it to look close to new but doesn't have to be perfect. It spent it's life in a Raleigh Nissan dealership, stored inside and doesn't seem to leak. There is a bend in the right side upright that I'd...

I've been on the search for an older non PRC origin press for a while. I almost jumped on a Red Arrow press a few months ago but it was a beast at 55T and feedback here was less than stellar on the brand so I passed. One of interest recently popped up on local CL. It's an OTC 25 ton model...

Spotted this while browsing craigslist. I never knew something like these existed? http://charlotte.craigslist.org/tls/5362154656.html Is it real or some type of frankentool?

Recently purchased a Craftsman 150 drill press and I'm looking for the slo-speed intermediate pulley assembly. I'm in NC with cash in hand ready to spend :rocker: Message me with what you've got!

I'm new to a lot of the vintage vise prices so a little quick help would be great. Got the opportunity to pick this one up for 50 bucs. It's missing the swivel base and pipe jaws but otherwise looks to be in decent shape. Buy or pass?

Just finished applying a floor covering to my new garage build. I was torn b/w an acid stain or clear sealer. Since I couldn't decide and wanted to go ahead and move stuff in, I chose to go with a densifier...keeping my options open if I wanted to apply a sealer or acid stain at a later date...

I'm finally starting a thread...even though construction is 2/3rds of the way complete. I'll try to start in the beginning...:3gears: The wife and I purchased this house about 18 months ago, knowing it would need lots of work to make it into what we wanted. Unfortunately there was no garage so...
