Now you tell me! :ROFLMAO:

Got a Delta Unisaw at an auction a few years ago for $60! It did not have a motor cover. I added a dust collector to it but have always been disappointed as without a motor cover, it still blew dust all over. I’ve toyed with motor cover designs, wanting more of a flush panel with a cut out for...

This is the sander you need! I have it on Marketplace in DeMotte IN!! It won’t walk off your bench. Hammond H/V 4x36.

I‘m frugal and like the old Craftsman tools. Plus with the original paper work included I have the parts diagram. The condition of this one was very good. And as noted above it will probably out last me! Just turned 65! Tried it out today and it’s actually much smoother than the Makita. The...

The guy I bought it from left it on the porch for me and a tin to put the money in. I would have liked to get some history of the sander, if he had any.

My 1980 vintage Makita palm sander that I bought new started spitting out some components of a plastic part. Still seems to work but I figured it’s day are numbered. So I updated to a 1965 vintage Craftsman that I found on Market Place. Even came with some vintage sandpaper. For $20., I think I...

Get some good photos and dimensions of it to mattblast on this forum and he can make duplicate decals of it. I’ve gotten several from him. All top quality. Then you won’t have to work around it when refinishing.

How did you make the stripe? I may have to try that.

All this higher math is making my brain hurt! :shocking:

I was going to suggest aluminum duct tape also.

That makes the nicely restored one on market place in the Chicago vicinity for only $900 look like a steel!

I have the MSA on one of my 150’s. The Veri-Slo seems to be a more complicated way to achieve the same, but with infinite speed selection. Most important it has the COOL factor. If I ran across one reasonably priced, I’d probably jump on it.

If you are talking just the screw in light bulb, I put (similar to) these panel led 5000k in my pole barn. Originally had 3 rows of 6 lights. Eliminated half the lights. Very happy with them. Been about a year and none have failed yet.

I am the same. I always say rebuild but resto mod is probably more accurate. I try to keep them as original as possible but I add a light to the head, have vinyl covering to cover worn non 150 head bands, and a few other things along with new bearings etc. Restoring would require, in my mind...

Thanks. I didn’t notice the hole until after I had everything disassembled.

For bushing drill presses, this should be the correct pulley bushing. The quill bushing are in perfect condition on the drill I’m rebuilding and I’m not replacing them. On the quill, in the slot on left that the screw locks it in position there is a small hole which I ASSUME is for oiling the...

Bronze bushing models, this should be the correct pulley bushing. The quill bushing have no slop on the one I’m currently rebuilding so I’m not touching them.

How do I pass up a 150 bench top for $30? I don’t! Except for the 2 holes drilled trough the head band, should be a basic rebuild. Looks like the original Craftsman motor. Just brought it home today.

Been a reliability engineer my whole career. Before all the mergers began 30 years ago, the product / technical books from various companies were an educational in them self. You don’t see these anymore as the company want you to have a rep come in and most web sites are useless for technical...
