I got this Baldor 7" grinder on the factory cast iron pedestal stand from a friend who who bought it for $30 in a school auction in the Austin area. Did a total tear down restoration giving the inside a through cleaning, the bearings were still in good shaped and left in place.
Here's my belt driven Majestic 65 grinder I restored a few years back. Looks to be a high quality cast iron unit with a beautiful Art-Deco style base design and it actually has ball bearings and not the bronze sleeve type bushings.

I hear what you are saying...
If I remember right I think that table saw was marketed as a 12-14" size by Craftsman, and I think maybe Laguna did also. TS may have had a 1" arbor that a lot of people do not...

This is my Oliver Machinery Co. woodworking vise I have mounted on my rolling work bench. Not a vise you see out there very often if at all, I have never have seen another one myself in person.
Those old Columbian wood working vises are VERY nice and well built. I was given this 3-C vise which I restored that was going to be tossed into a scrape metal barrel at a machine shop that was just beyond a stupid thing to do!
I'm not a fan of those galvanized pipe handles people use (they do...

I remember that Craftsman cabinet saw in the Power Tools catalog for sure in the early 1990's. It was a Taiwan made machine for sure like you all mentioned. Just like the Granger Dayton and Lobo versions I...

Replaced the double row water pump style bearing in this Craftsman Model 100 12" band saw and the same bearing used in the arbor on this 1950 Craftsman Model 80 8" bench saw also:D
I have replace those double row "water pump" style bearings in that same 103. Model 100 band saw and the exact same bearing used in a Model 80 8" bench saw also.
Saw has a factory pressed in (set by a tiny 4-40 slotted set screw) "Water Pump" style arbor/bearings assembly. The original Sears...
A VERY nice old ad there Fierljeppen...thanks much!

www.vintagevises.com/vise_library.html
Yes, it is a 3" wide jaw as you correctly pointed out.

I've seen those 2" wide jaw "Baby Wilton" vises which are ALWAYS expensive and very collectible nowadays...lol
