Great point about the fence. That looks to be the color (light grey) of most of the others I have seen online that are from the 1940's. Thanks for the insight on the number tag.

I am keeping my fingers crossed it's not sold yet. I am really starting to think it's been repainted also. If so, it appears to be a decent job. I'll let you know if i get a chance to look at it up close.

Thank you, I'll check the trunnions carefully. I'm usually a cheapskate also, but man I really want this saw if everything works great. If he replies that he has an offer for full price, I will more than likely offer a little over. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. Cleaning and belt replacement I can definitely do. I am also not finding a blue vintage unisaw. I'll also check the arbor bearing.

Someone down the road from me posted this on Craigslist for $500. I have no experience with vintage table saws, but I love the look of this saw and the condition it is in. He claims the saw was not restored and is all original. It comes with the mobile base depicted in the photos. Assuming I...

Darn, that would have been a good deal. I contacted the guy and unfortunately he no longer has the vises. Thanks for checking. Agree I need to expand my search.

Thanks, Bob. I am in Austin, Texas. Feel free to message me with any you might be willing to unload. I appreciate it! Allen

Thank you all very much. I am glad that I asked about this, I didn't realize the vise was so over priced.

I missed an opportunity on a Wilton vise but the seller sent me photos of the vise shown below. His initial offer was $200. I could probably get him down to $150. The vise is a 1970's Craftsman 4.5 inch, made in Japan. The Craftsman item number is 391.5197. I have been searching Craigslist...

Thanks for the feedback and advice on the gantry. Although I think this is a good deal for someone lifting a few hundred pounds, I am not willing to use this regularly with 80 gallon air compressors. I am also mostly worried about the joints. They are in place with set screws only. Also...

The gantry shown in the photos is being sold on craigslist for $150 and the seller lives very close to me. I've needed a gantry several times over the past few years but they have always been a bit out of my price range. I repair and re-sell air compressors, generators, and other equipment in...

Can anyone tell me if this is a decent deal for a garage use drill press. I'll be doing occasional drilling through 1/4 inch metal. I have printed other posts about checking to ensure the press is in good shape. Was walker turner a decent brand...

You are right, the yellow armored plug is good for 15 amps, not 20. The SO cord is this one: http://www.lowes.com/pd_56592-295-55808745_0__ , the Lowes website and Soutwire specifications both say it's good up to 25 amps. The outlets I installed on the workbench are good for 20 AMPS, the...

Thanks everyone for your help. I wanted to play it safe, so used handy boxes as suggested. They fit without any problems. Good call on using deep ones. The boxes included pre-installed wire clamps to secure the SO cables running into them. This made life much easier because there were not...

Good evening, I would like to have easy access to electrical outlets on this ULine table: http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-2484-LAM/Packing-Tables/Packing-Table-96-x-30-Laminate-Top As depicted in the first two attached photos, the table includes pre-cut 120-volt duplex outlet holes on...

Really appreciate the feedback and advice on that drill press, it's really helpful. I decided the Delta Rockwell press referenced at the beginning of this thread was worth $160 to me (plus the 3 hour round trip to San Antonio), assuming everything functions as it should. I made the offer and...

Sorry I mean the entire functioning drill press, minus the "procunier" depicted in the ad. Thanks for your feedback--so for the working drill press, your take is that 200 is on the high end. Not sure if my link was visible but here is the drill press...

The person selling this drill press is willing to go to $200 for the drill only. I need a drill press to make occasional strait holes through mild steel up to 3/8 inches thick. I have a couple questions: * Assuming the drill press runs as it should, is this model (Delta-Rockwell model 15-017...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I went with the 550 / 1100 pound hoist and welded a platform using 5/8 steel plate and a supporting brace underneath. Works very well, especially since I have limited space (1/2 of a 2 car garage) and the crane pivots wherever I need it. And it is located in...

Securing the hoist will involve a few welds to a make a supported steel platform. The hoist has bolt holes on the bottom that will be used to secure it to the platform. The guard you are referring to does in fact have a spring keeping it erect upside down. It takes about 5-10 pounds of...
