I just picked up this vise earlier today along with a beautiful Walker Turner 6" jointer. The gentleman who sold it to me was in his late 60's/early 70's and they both belonged to his grandfather. This looks like a coachman's vise, but it doesn't have any identification markings on it that I can...

I just bought this Powerematic 141 wood cutting bandsaw yesterday. This thing is a beast. It probably weighs around 350 - 400 lbs. When I opened up the wheel guards I could see that a squirrel decided to make his nest out of the lower section near the blade - you can see this in the photos...

I just picked up this Hollands model 32 bench vise last night off of Craigslist. It looks like it is in very good condition. There are no cracks or repairs, and the jaws are in good shape too. The swivel is a little different on this vise than any others I've seen before. It uses a brass pin...

I picked up this bench vise from a carpenter's shop recently. Since I bought several other pieces of very good quality equipment (Parks 12" planer built in the late 1950s, beautiful vintage Craftsman pedestal belt sander, etc.) he gave me this vise for free. It's a Woden 186B/00 made in England...

Does anybody recognize this swivel jaw vise ? The jaws are 6" wide. The guy sold it a few days ago unfortunately along with a stand. He said that everything together weighed between 400 and 500 lbs. And it sold for only$100. :sad:

There is a 16" Walker Turner bandsaw for sale locally for just $300. You can see the ad here: https://buffalo.craigslist.org/tls/4947327181.html I contacted the seller and received this response: Hello. I have been overwhelmed by the requests to see this saw. I have a couple people lined up...

I just picked up this Vollma horizontal mill today along with a bunch of other equipment, tooling, and industrial quality shelving. Got it all for $355. The mill weighs around 250 - 300 lbs and runs on 220V single phase. The motor is surprisingly quiet. I've never seen one of these before. Has...

I've got an atlas QC54 lathe that is in good working condition. It is a 10" bench lathe with 36" between centers, and has a quick change gear box. I bought it from the son of the previous owner, who apparently got it from his father. The lathe was built between 1948 and 1958. I just moved, and...

I just picked up this Prentiss Bulldog vise for $30 locally. Don't know if I paid too much for it, but it is in exceptionally good condition. No cracks, defects, or repairs can be found anywhere that I looked. Can anybody estimate the age of this vise? There is a 202 stamped on the top of it...

Here's a local Craigslist ad for a Wilton bullet style bench vise with 4" jaws. http://rochester.craigslist.org/tls/4578719275.html It certainly looks like it has had some use over the years. Any opinions on the asking price? If price is negotiable, what do you think a good counter offer would...

For the experts out there, I recently picked up a Hollands 56 bench vise with 6" jaws and a vintage Wilton Bullet vise with 3 1/2" wide jaws. You can see the Wilton sitting on the slide of the Hollands in the attached photo. I'm guessing that the Hollands weighs somewhere between 125 and 150...

I found the vise pictured below on Craigslist in upstate New York earlier today. The ad had been listed for about three days. The ad didn't describe what type of vise it was, or what it was supposed to be used for. When I called the number the owner said that it was just taking up space in his...

Here's an ad that came up on the local Craigslist a short time ago for a vintage cast iron scroll saw made by Sears: http://rochester.craigslist.org/tls/4521730056.html Does anyone here have an opinion about the quality of this tool compared to what you can buy today? Is it worth what the...

I just purchased this 15" South Bend lathe at an estate sale. It came with a boatload of accessories. It's been well cared for, and is in good working condition. The only problem I have is moving it from the estate sale location to my pole barn, which is about an hour drive. It weighs...

The anvil contained in the attached photo is for sale locally, and I've got the opportunity to buy it. This is the only photo that I have to go by. The overall length is supposed to be approximately 19", and the height is around 9", so it isn't very big. My guess is that it probably weighs in...

I have an Emco-Unimat SL watchmakers/jewelers lathe made in Austria. It is in excellent working condition, and comes with a variety of accessories including a three jaw and a four jaw chuck, face plate and lathe dog, vice, lathe bits, lathe bit tool holder, drill chuck and key, etc. This lathe...

I picked up a set of about 30 of these collets recently, but can't figure out who made them. In the attached photo you can see the logo stamped on each on the collets - it's an N inside of a diamond shaped logo. The shank diameter is 5/16" (or 7.94 mm), and the collets are stamped with metric...

I've got a complete set of lathe collets that I picked up at a local estate sale recently. I thought that they might be for an old Hardinge lathe, but the dimensions don't appear to be consistent with Hardinge collets. They measure approximately 0.629" in outside diameter at the shank, and about...
