Double that warning about the lag rods. I have one of these that I use intact as an assembly table. I'd thought once a while back about cutting it lengthwise for a couple of workbench tops. I then came across a couple of actual benchtops, so didn't cut it, *but* on mine, at least, all of the...

You're missing the miter gauge and the fence, but these can be improvised or (probably) replaced. Still a good score.; you can do a lot with that setup. Cheers! Chandos

That little bench is just begging for a Delta DP 220 to sit atop it. I wouldn't have tried to negotiate it down, either. That's a steal at $25--I figure that this helps to restore the Karmic balance for all the deals where I've been as ruthless as I know how to be, or when I've simply mugged...

Useful way to think about it that I hadn't considered. Many thanks!

Hi, Folks, I have an opportunity to acquire 3 new/surplus 9-drawer Vidmar tool cabinets. The owner's not interested in giving them away, but there's room for negotiation. If you needed such things, what would all of you consider a "fair" offer for them. In my region, these things rarely...

Craigslist has been kind the last couple of weeks: a vise, a vintage Finnish woodworking bench, and now this, which the guy is actually delivering (!) on Saturday. The work surface is at 40" and the bench is five feet long. The drawers require multiple keys (?), but the PO has them all...

Don't know whether any of these will suit your needs, but Zappos has an excellent return policy. http://www.zappos.com/work-boot?zfcTest=pd%3A0 CHeers! Chandos

I'm interested but need more info to commit. CHandos

Pretty beat in the Newport News/Norfolk/Williamsburg area. CL seems to have become the lost graveyard of SO boxes; there's usually a half dozen or so for sale (actually, the same boxes basically live on CL--folk have spent too much for them and need, I suppose, to recoup the loss by asking near...

Picked up a Gressel vise on CL and fetched it yesterday. PO is a retired local cop (his words), who's gone into hobby machining in retirement. Tremendous guy, wonderful shop. Offered as I was leaving to take on any small projects I might need him for--for the cost of materials. Sometimes CL...

Hi, Folks, I'm going to pick up this 5" beast in the AM. Does any one have any suggestions regarding replacement jaws for this vise? The Gressel website is daunting, to put it mildly. Many thanks! CHandos

Re: Cans someone identify this huge old drill press I just bought? If you don't have any luck here, post this on the OWWM (Old Wood Working Machinery) site: http://vintagemachinery.org/ Someone may be able to ID it. There's also a lot of "dirty" paper and machine images posted on the site...

First-time post here, though I've thoroughly enjoyed lurking around the various fora. I have an opportunity to acquire a Quincy PLT-5 compressor. It's about nine years old. I have searched extensively, but I've been unable to locate any specific user reviews of this unit. As I gather, the...
