I have a lot of sets of drills, and looked at these coated bits. To me this is nothing more than a selling gimmick for the average homeshop guy. Like, re grind the drill to bring it up to specs, and you have ground away the coating, so why buy them ? I have some sets of offshore bits that...

Never seen them before either, but sweet looking screwdrivers!

What's the matter with brazing it? Being cast it will need to be heated before, during then alowed to cool slowly wrapped in insulation of some sort. It also can be arc welded, but the same heating process must be used, with special rod used for cast. It should weld ok, either method,,, unless...

Part #2 looks like a locking collar, which should be cast. No problem take it to a welder, he will grind the piece out and weld it back up. Probably work.

2oolhound is correct, i'm north of most of you, and north of me again there are thousands working in -40-50+ temps in gold and diamond mines. Mechanics there don't rebuild engines at those temps, but they do get service calls on huge heavy equipment . Clothing is the key, and a place to stop...

Great machinists finds!!

Can anyone tell me when Wilton started building/selling Bullet Vises? Thanks.

Are you sure that that is a grinder? Looks to me like the head off an old lathe? Interesting piece, have never heard of that Ritter Brand.

The Amish shops that run air tools mostly have those big horizontal propane tanks for compressed air storage. Compressor is usually run by a diesel engine. Not sure what gallonage those big tanks are, i have heard them called Bullet tanks often in my area.

The distributor cap was always the old standby, used to be on every parts counter, garage etc.

Heck i just wiper er down with an old rag!! Lol

One heck of a good haul Madison!!

Re Marquette, Yes Marquette also sold welders, battery chargers and some other garage equipment. "Marquette Michigan" if i remember correctly. Somewere in my collection of stuff i have an older Marquette catalog.

Nice Find!! I had that same box, but my grandson has it now. Only difference was mine was labeled "Marquette" Had a plastic insert with Marquette on it inside a chromed metal rim on the front of the box.

Go to an industrial supplier or a jobber, you won't find that in Lowes or Home depot or Wal-Mart.

Re: Vintage Black & Decker Drill As posted i have had that same drill forever, worked ok for light duty. I found the chuck to be real cheaply made, and the cord just way too stiff, unless you were working in 90F weather! Bad plastic coating on it of some kind, always a PITA to wrap up to put away.

On that leblond if you are wondering what year it is, the serial # is stamped into the end of the ways, (tailstock end,) email that to Leblond, and they will be able to tell you the manufacturing date and usually who it was first sold to.

Nice projects, thanks for posting these.

Re: Vintage Black & Decker Drill I have the same drill, had it for a long time, but it is newer i think then the 60's.

Great find, built to run for generations, Quality N. American iron!
