Thought I would share my recent drill press find with everyone. This is a 1945 model from the bomber plant in Omaha. I imagine it was a tapping press and was worked pretty hard in it's day. I believe it sat there until a few years ago when they finally shut the place down. These are fairly...

Delta DP220 [Now DP600 on page 2] questions Should be picking this up in a couple days and have a few questions. Sorry for the low res pics but they are from the auction. Curious what the orange device might be, and what type of vice that is. Is that a sliding rail it is on? Also looks too...

I finally got a round top 1/2 hp and its kind of a mess so I get to do my first grinder restore and thought everyone would like some pics. Going to start with a clean up and paint along with bearings most likely. First pics from the ad: Price: $35 + $55 shipping. I have been searching...

Picking this up on Friday... Not a you **** deal but quite fair for CL in my area. Actually since there really isn't much for sale anywhere it may be a great deal for anything other then a lucky auction find. My Craftsman just felt like a toy, I think this beast will handle anything I will...

Going to look at one of these and I don't see any other threads on the subject. Here is a owwm pic: The one I'm looking at is in pieces but looks to be pretty complete. From the scarce info available it looks like 1938 vintage but shares parts with later walker turner models so there is...

If you have one or have a lead on one please let me know. Would like to stay around $100 depending on condition. I don't mind cleaning one up and changing bearings. Thanks!

Just picked this up today and while researching I noticed a few differences from stock. The handwheel, tailstock lock and tailstock ram are not original. Wondering if anyone has any info on these mods? I like the handwheel and lock, the ram is nice but it sure takes up a lot of space. I bet...

Looking to buy or trade. I have the sander mount to trade if interested. Also looking for a column motor mount but that's not a priority.

Rare Craftsman combination kit for sale. Will hold for a GJ member who needs to travel to pick up. Everything is complete and original except the motors and belts... there was originally a 3/4 double sided motor and now there is a great condition Dayton 1/2 hp running the bench, and an older 2...

Have a practically new in box Craftsman Pressmate drill press table lift for sale. Comes complete with box, manual, all parts and pieces in their original bags. This was new but I installed it to see how it worked. It has about 5 turns on the handle. Starting at $300 shipped via priority...

Recently picked a delta homecraft and am in the process of getting it ready for use. Had to replace a bearing and now am sharpening the knives as they are quite dull along with a few dings. I see a lot of comments on 4" jointers saying they aren't good for anything. Seems to me though if one...

Looking for the dual sided socket, handle / ball assembly and the acorn nut. I see a few on ebay but the threaded shaft for the handle is different (thinner) and I would like the correct part. Any condition is fine as long as it can be cleaned up.

After a quick search I see there is little to no documentation on these so I thought I would make a thread for them. Anyone is welcome to contribute what they have on these machines. I already posted the coming home pics over in the Heritage thread so I'll just post the manual pic and part...

Need both pieces. Possibly parting out a 100 model, let me know what you need or how much cash.

Craftsman 150 drill press and other tools Update... I'm going to re-arrange this thread and make it my home base to dump pics and info of the tools I get. It all started with the drill press. I looked on cl a few times and didn't see anything so I went with a cheap chinese model from Sears...

67.97 + 9.95 shipping or free shipping over $99 Cheapest you will find unless your Sears Hometown has one in stock. They seem to have plenty available. When I was researching C3 stuff Summit always came up but never had anything in stock. Maybe they will put up some C3 shop vacs next...

These are discontinued and I have an opportunity to get a floor model for $64 using $21 in points and $10 back with the current promo. Looks like the only other option from sears is the 9.5 amp model for $60 - points etc. I figure if I don't like it the resale value is at least $100 so I might...

Since I started my C3 collection I've noticed a lot of the first gen 19.2v tools have a thin rubber coating on the handles that tends to rub off over time. Just curious if anyone knows of a product that could be rubbed in or sprayed on that would semi restore and protect the tools from further...
