Can anyone give me any information on this table saw? Looks like an old Caftsman, the listing says: "Old cast iron table saw for sale. Needs motor installed. Bearings are tight and spins freely. Has rip fence included. Very heavy duty. $20 and it's yours."

One day (5ish years probably) I will builda 30x50x14 shop, and I plan to heat it with propane. A local auction company has these two natural gas heaters for sale; can anyone tell anything about them? Worth it if they go cheap enough, or are they likely old and inefficient? I can provide more...

Just won this vise on eBay for $36.40, shipped. How'd I do? Does anyone know anything about it? The listing says it's a 4 1/2" vise with a slight bend in the screw but operates properly.

Does anyone have any clever ideas for storing something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZVBZL5C/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Right mow it just sits in the floor in the garage taking up too much space.

Just brought home this guy, paid $150. I think it's a 1973. Looks like the runout isn't great. Is my setup ok for checking this? How do I remove the chuck to clean and reseat it?

I recently picked up a 1973 Delta Rockwell 15-017, and the 3 phase motor and VFD conversion seems like a fun project. I found a guy selling a 3hp 220v 3 phase Dayton motor for $30. Frame 145T. Is there any reason this won't work? Is there such thing as having too much power?

I left a post of the Vises of Garage Journal post, but I wanted to maximize visbility. Can you anyone give me any info about this vise? The seller thinks it's imported, says there isn't much for markings on it. He said he would take $50.

I just received up a Pre-Block Grinder. Can someone give me a source for the light bulbs that go inside the wheel guards? Id probably prefer LED if I had a choice. Also, what wheels are everyone running? My dad's growing up always had a grinding wheel and a wire brush, so I figure I'll probably...

Well I had a line on a 150 that fell through. This one is listed for $130. Seems steep, he said he'd take $100. Will I be disappointed with a 1/3hp motor for metal?

Found this one for sale about 2.5 hours from me for $150. They don't think the motor is original. Is the price right? Can a slow-speed pulley be retrofitted? I'd like to use it for metal.

First of all, I hope I'm not annoying anyone with all these posts. Apparently I'm into old machinery, and apparently I don't know anything about them. This press is for sale for $150, but I know he'd come down to at least $100. He says it doesn't have a brand name on it but that it came out of...

Found another drill press I'm interested in. I believe it is a Delta Rockwell 17". The seller wants $200 and lives 6.5 hours away. From what I can tell these are great old machines. Feedback would be appreciated!

Yesterday's Tractors has a section where people post when they need something hauled from one location to another, and other people will post when they are driving from one location to another and have space to haul things. Do we have anything like that? I found a pretty sweet 1950s Delta drill...

I've recently started looking into getting a bench grinder, and have heard about the Craftsman block grinders. I found this listing near me, can anyone give me any info about it or tell me roughly what it's worth? Does this look to be a good unit?

Found what I believe is a Powr-Kraft drill press for sale for $50. Was the Powr-Kraft stuff decent? What should I ask about it? Is it worth $50?

I'm currently bidding on what I believe is a Greenlee 1395 horizontal band saw (image linked below), and I have a few questions: What is this thing worth in this condition? Is there much that can go wrong with something like this other than the motor? How much does a motor cost and where can I...

I am working on designing a cart for my oxy propane setup, and wanted to see if anyone had any valuable input for me. I plan on using 14ga 1" square tubing and 3/16" plate. The oxygen bottle is a K and the propane bottle is 20lb. 10" diameter pneumatic tires on a 5/8" axle. Thanks in advance!

I recently got a really good deal on a 6ft King Kutter brush hog, a 6' blade, and a damaged boom pole for my tractor. The blade and brush hog need a little work, but I only gave $425 for all of that. The brush hog, looks like someone backed into a tree at some point and the metal bars that...

For sale is a Victor 315 handle. I don't know anything about it, I got it in a package deal with another. Seems to be in fine shape other than a crack towards the base. Let me know if I'm way off on price, I'm just starting to get into Oxy Acetylene. Buyer pays shipping.

I just picked up a Victor H315FC handle, (what I think is a) 315 handle, a CA2450 cutting attachment, a CA1050 cutting attachment, and an SR460A acetylene regulator. I have a few questions: What is the difference between the CA1050 and the CA2450? How do these compare to the CA2460, which seems...
