    Walker Turner Bench Drill Press

    I have already taken it partially apart so I can lift the pieces and yes it will be restored to look good but I will be retiring my HF POS and will use this and my 3-in-1 for drilling. Jim

    Walker Turner Bench Drill Press

    More Pics #631 is all grits of wet-dry sand paper and several grits of emory cloth. There are square hole cutters, circle cutters, hole saw cutters, a Dremel tool, crescent wrenches, and I don't know what else. I spent $155.00 in all. Thanks for my first "You ****" on here! Jim

    Walker Turner Bench Drill Press

    I picked this up Saturday at a "everything Goes" sale. The guy wanted $100.00 for it and I offered him $50.00 which he said no so I picked up a few other tools while I was there. I was getting ready to cash out and he comes up to me and says, "will you take it for $75.00 and I'll throw in some...

    QuickJack - for those of you wondering

    Michael, I have the same unit as you with the same type fitting. Mine does go down fairly fast even after the weight is off. I like the unit but it is difficult to get it in proper position under my Cobra since I only have 4" of clearance. Here's a pic of my car about half way up on the...

    The QuickJack

    I have a QuickJack unit and I think it's great. I built a Factory Five Cobra kit that weights about 2250# and this is perfect for oil changes and brake work, simple to slide it under the frame, it is very low when collapsed which is a good feature as my car only has 4" of clearance. I can store...

    Wiring a Switch on my lathe

    Original paper work I have says purchased new from R.W. Norris in my home town in 1939. Why are you concerned? There is enough wire sticking out that I can get a solder connector on and slide some shrink tube over them. Thanks, Jim

    Wiring a Switch on my lathe

    Hi, I am rebuilding a South Bend 9" lathe and it has the original GE 110v motor and a Furnas forward-reverse switch that I want to keep. I have no idea how to wire the two together. I was hoping someone on here can help. Here are some pics of the motor and switch. I'll probably have to do 2...

    ZREXXER, thanks for posting my pics! I passed on this one but did buy another L&S in better condition but about the same age I think. I'll post some pics later. Jim

    Another Lodge & Shipley Lathe

    Thanks for the info guys. Can anybody date this from the serial #2221? I am on a server at work and it won't let me download photobucket or any other program for my pics so I'll try it at home later. I did get some good pics tho. Since this is larger than I want I'm going to look at a Atlas...

    Another Lodge & Shipley Lathe

    I looked at this last night and it's a monster (to me). It has a 8' bed and a 16" chuck. It also has a taper attachment. The condition is fair for it's age. It has a serial number of 2221. I wish someone on here could date it for me. The owner wants $500 for it. It's too large for my shop but a...

    Looking at a used lathe

    I am going to look at a 14-1/2" South Bend lathe Saturday. I know the guy personally so I kind of believe what he is telling me that it has had little use. He wants $1000.00 for it and all the tooling he has. Is this a good deal if in fact it is what he says it is? I have a mini-lathe at home...
