It's not that bad of a ride, I've done it :thumbup:

I only need 1 eye shield and my chrome is shot. Otherwise mine's in great shape.

I've seen that fence also pop up on a couple Dunlap saws too made in the 50's.

Yep, in 2 years only saw one guard come up for sale on eBay... If you want to sell... let me know.

Just dragged this bad boy home. 50’s Craftsman / Parks 18” band saw 112.23580. Took me nearly 45 minutes to wrestle it out of the car to where it is by myself! Needs tires and paint, runs smooth and only a spot of rust here and there. 3 bills. Oh, and already set up for metal :) Sent from...

Don’t know where the before pic went, but took a stab at giving the table on my Craftsman 150 Drill Press resto a mirror finish. Got close! Should of hit it harder on the lower grits before moving up. Still has some pitting in it, but a lot better than the rusty mess it was. Sent from my...

Ahh, see my grandparents moved from Luzurne County down to Manayunk back in the 60's, but still took me up there to visit relatives monthly growing up. Standard Pressed Steel in Jenkintown, that one I never heard of... Kind of interesting that the actual North Bros lived down the street from...

Instead of the Vega, I went with the Craftsman Align-a-rip xrc on my '57. Works beautifully with only a tad bit of adjustment needed out of the box. Got mine off sears parts direct, but they pop on ebay or CL here and there.

That is an awesome article! I've come across a couple Germantown tools, but never saw the actual history of it. Always just assumed it was a Philly made tool. Wonder if there's a book or website dedicated to the tools made in Philly or SEPA? Germantown, Disston, North Bros... even Bonney was...

Thanks guys! This one doesn't pivot front to back, but up and down on an angle very easily. JB Weld and drill it is! Plus new belts, which thanks for the part numbers too!

So I have 2 Slo-Speed attachments. One on, the pulley behind the quill pulley where the arm comes up to the adjustment arm, one of mine has a good amount of play, where the other one has some but not nearly as much. Does play matter on this arm? Will it effect the speed setting drastically...

Yep, thank you! Yea... if they didn't throw it out with their old sand paper, I probably could have too...

Don't break anything! I've been looking for 1 eye shield for mine for 2 years now. 1 popped up on eBay that sold for more than what I paid for mine. 99% sure all the grinder pedestal tops fit. So a donor from the 60's should be fine. That was my plan on how to do it, but haven't done it...

So the kids usually use the C3 sander, since they think the corded 5" round ones I have are too powerful. The pad for mine fell off some how. Anyone know of a replacement pad for it?

$40 for both off of letgo!!! The caulk gun is still NIB!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eric that looks awesome! You guys got me looking at getting more sanding disks and a thinner belt sander!

Most 40's-60's Craftsmans, the badges are held in with those rivets that you can hammer off with a punch from the backside. Rubbing compound / polishing compound / Mother's Mag got them 95% clean without having to use a tool and possibly lose color like I've done before.

Slowly getting pieces cleaned up for my Craftsman 100 Drill Press restoration.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...handle is being stopped by the casting. It should be on the opposite side.
