    What are these bits used for?

    I bought some various Drill bits packaged in small lots at a flea market this morning and came across a few I'm unfamiliar with. The two longer bits on the right have a small slot in the tip. The three to the left have <1 twist at the point and waffle iron like teeth in slightly different...

    MVP Tool of the Day

    Longboard skateboard. I have a broken wrist and I'm not working right now but I can't help doing what I can't help doing at home. I had to move an upright freezer out of my garage, to the driveway for whoever wants it just so I can move around again. Pivot freezer out from the wall, tilt, push...

    need help with old key slot

    I'm gonna put the closest thing to closure I can to this, especially because I appreciate your help Larry and occupantrj. I never got the cone/cup off. I never was able to detect any springing or shock-absorber like action to the cup after several blows with rubber and dead-blow mallets. I did...

    need help with old key slot

    In 1st pic(looking down into rubber rimmed cup) if you see what I believe I see is a round center whether this is the end of the shaft I'm unsure but I think it's a feature of the cups original construction, and I think the same of the four smaller pin/cutoff rivet looking points surrounding it...

    need help with old key slot

    Ha-ha mental anguish is THE killer. This machine does have those bb like oil-ports and when I saw that (once I realized it wasn't a hex key), I thought why? I don't think anything in this part should move? There is a channel for a key slot protruding from beneath on the motor side. The other...

    The tape, not added yet in the picture covers the black rubber visible at end of the cup. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    need help with old key slot

    I think it's called a parallel keyed joint. It's the shaft of an old 3/4 hp Dayton motor that came with my Hamilton Varimatic sensitive Drill. Think pulley... But in my case it's a cone/cup drive(pretty interesting way this Drill changes speeds) specifically the CUP portion is connected to the...

    Show us your cool, "old" drill press

    Just bought an old Hamilton Varimatic sensitive drilling machine. Needs work. Upper right side, very highest support link the one connecting to the spindle travel screw, is cracked. I will cast a new one. The next support below that, the top of the two gooseneck like spindle support yoke parts...

    After looking around here a bit I wonder if my no label vise is a Littlestown 112 "knock-off"? I'll post pic in a minute evidently taptalk won't compress filesize? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Great info, I thumbed right past that ad it didn't catch it. Thanks CRSINMICH! The blue vice has no markings and I'm pretty sure it's a low quality facsimile of another makers vise... Like you would find at a large retailer for generally way cheaper than anything else. Sent from my XT1254...

    Prentiss no 66 vise?

    It seems all roads lead back to these forums I only found yesterday. Once again I was researching tools I own and decided to find out about this old vise I have. I used it for awhile... You can see my homemade dovetail mount from wood I had rigged up... Until I found another vise I could easily...

    I'm afraid I have no before picture other than the one in my head of this thing in the dirt tied to a little kids bicycle in a yard full of stuff.

    AMT Radial Arm Drill Press. They made/marketed their tools on the economical end of things but economy back then wasn't tin and plastic from China. By 1974 this Drill Press had been changed to include the return tension spring in the handle-shaft, as opposed to at the FAR ENDof the travel cable...
