still not sure what these holders are for. they almost appear stock. here are some more photos:

super low profile casters. appear original but I could be wrong. could not find a date code anywhere inside the third drawer :(

I'll take some more pictures later today and check on the date. The holders are too small for aerosol cans (most). Not really sure what they were used for.

picked this up today for $30. A few small dings but the body is rock solid. It is gorgeous.

This material able to take a letter punch?

I have a CMan jointer on a pedestal that the PO had mounted some ball casters to. they are worn thin and wobbly now and I wanted to replace them. Wasn't sure if anyone had any favorite low profile ones.

Title says it all. Any good options for mobility & lockdown on these old stands?

Thanks for taking the time to help. This is the spot that correlates to the wear on the shaft.

Love the design on these old belt fed grinders. To bad there is no way to retrofit a motor inside!

Any way to buff those initials off? Not sure what sort of finish craftsman was using on these.

Hit up my local flea market for the first time today (not sure what took me so long). LOTS of tools but tons of junk. Most sellers had the craftsman separated which was nice. tons of 5 gallon buckets of a mixture of sockets, wrenches and ratchets new and old. I did a lot of digging. There was...

beautiful!

Found this booklet online in pieces and thought I would throw it together into a searchable PDF for you all. https://archive.org/details/JointerShaperThicknessPlaner

Thanks! Nothing unusual. A 15min soak in a penetrating oil, scrape with a razor blade get off all the larger rust spots then 3 grits of steel wool with a final coat of a dry silicone spray (couldn't find my paste wax). It isnt perfect and there is a ring on the back table that will need some...
