    Convert this motor to a buffer?

    Thank you! I was confused when one said "line" and the other said "ungrounded line". Got it all hooked up and it works fine

    Convert this motor to a buffer?

    OK thanks a lot guys. I think I'll just sell it to someone who needs it for their swamp cooler or whatever Is there an easy way to hook it up to see if it works? (Seller said that it works but I'd like to verify that before reselling if possible)

    Convert this motor to a buffer?

    I found this old Dayton motor at the flea market today. Do you think it is possible to convert it to a buffer? The problem I can see is that the shaft on it smooth with a flattened part to use a set screw with. It isn't threaded like a grinder or buffer would be The guy said he thought it was...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Picked up this little 3 1/2" Craftsman today. Model number is 391.5180. Made in Japan Size comparison with my 4" Morgan 140 I'm still trying to get apart. Even though the jaw size is only 1/2" different, they are definitely in two different weight classes! The Craftsman is 18-19 lbs and the...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Got a kick out of this "like new" Wilton listed on local CL. I mean, it's in decent shape and obviously a newer model, but my definition of "like new" is a little different...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Any guesses about the identity of this vise? Was listed on craigslist. Seller says they'll try to find out the manufacturer tomorrow but figured someone here might know something

    First vise - How'd I do?

    Haha I followed maybe half of that but I think I have the general idea! I need to check to see if turning that nut will unlock the swivel. I would really like it to swivel if I can manage it Fortunately, the dynamic jaw doesn't have a weld line. I think I know what you are seeing on the picture...

    First vise - How'd I do?

    OK thanks for the comments guys. I ended up getting it for $20 actually. I think that that's what the guy paid for it and he wanted to just get rid of it after he found out that the jaws only open up to about 4 1/2" before it starts binding (due to the crack on the back of the slide). I figured...

    First vise - How'd I do?

    I'm also looking for my first vise. Is $0.60/pound still what you guys think is a good price? This one has been listed for $80 on the local CL. It's only 52 pounds according to some other threads I've found http://lubbock.craigslist.org/tls/4124154530.html So would $30 be about the most you...
