    Value? Two Clausing Drill Presses & Table

    Where's your brother live? Shipping would be prohibitively expensive for this, which significantly reduces its value in anything but the local market. Cheers! Chandos

    What can I expect to pay for a Lista

    It looks as though you're buying new. I've got a half-dozen of them (and a Vidmar oak-topped workbench), but I've always picked them up used. Never paid more than $500 for a box, and much less for a couple of them ($200). Someone here suggested that I calculate $50 a drawer, which has worked...

    This is what you get if you bug your neighbor enough!

    Shouldn't be too difficult to strip all that nasty paint off it. I'd go for a beige finish afterward, preferably applied with a brush.

    Recommend Me Some Pry Bars?

    I've got a set of Mayhews, and I've been impressed. Picked them up, NOS, from the 'bay for a song. Got the locker, too. c

    Any idea what this might be?

    This is probably a complete flyer, but something's nagging the edge of consciousness. Could it be a soldering tip of some sort? C

    Water splashed onto drywall while washing garage

    Depends on how much water penetrated the plaster, which may swell and become crumbly. I'd sure as heck get a fan on that ASAP. You can pick up a small drying fan at the big boxes for $50 or so. Mine works real well for what I paid for it, and it'll dry a floor quickly, even in the Tidewater's...

    Anyone have a Craftsman planer like this near indy they would part with reasonably

    These are also known as "alien" planers among those who care about such things. It's not hard to see why. C

    A question about indexing rotary vises?

    I'm an idiot. I meant "indexing table," of course. I've got a decent vise. I see why this was confusing. CHeers! Chandos

    A question about indexing rotary vises?

    I'm starting my search for an 8"-10" indexing rotary vise. I can spend around $700. Any suggestions as to what to look for? Any considerations that I ought to keep in mind? This is for a Bridgeport J-head. I'd prefer to buy used. Many thanks! Chandos

    Mill is single phase 220. Lathe is three phase driven by a vfd. I'm not sure that the PO fully grasped the potential of the vfd. Of the two switches visible on the lathe, the right one is a forward/reverse and rheostat [?!] and the left is a simple cut-off between the panel and the vfd. I'm...

    I don't know whether this matters, but it's a sub-panel in a masonry outbuilding. I don't have any trouble getting to it. I plan to install a lexan shield mounted to the chip tray to handle whirling swarf.
