Are the accessories & attachments from the RotoZip & Craftsman (All In One Cutting Tool) interchangeable? Sears has some of their Craftsman (All In One) attachments on clearance, including the flexible shaft. I was curious if it would fit the RotoZip and if other attachments from the Craftsman...

The SK 1/4" Flex Head (SK 40972)? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00901300000P?keyword=sk+40972&sLevel=0&prop17=sk%2040972 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00061SN70/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Me three on the SK Stuff. Thanks

Phew...they finally answered their phone; they have three on the rack.

My local Sears has the SK Flex Head (40972) on clearance. Last week I picked it up for $16.02 with tax. They had at least three more on the rack. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00901300000P?keyword=sk+40972&sLevel=0&prop17=sk%2040972

There are plenty of high quality slide miters one the market in both 10" & 12" sizes. A coworker picked up the Dewalt 12" Sliding Miter saw. Looking back he says a 10" would have done everything he needed (a few remodel jobs), saved him a few dollars and been easier to store. The latest...

While at the flea market today I picked up an SK Speed Wrench today. A few decades ago a cousin gave me a "Vallenite Japan". It worked fine but it's nice to have one made in the USA :) It cleaned up nicely with a greenie and some PB50. Before I place the imported one in the standby pile I...

As a DIYer, mostly Craftsman & then SK with some SO & Matco. Due to short $$ and the price of the imported tools (stubby & impact), it seems to be a constant temptation (buying imported)...so I wait a little longer & look a little harder for some domestic ones to come along.

WOW, they look great (compared to before)! I've looked at several of sets of allen wrenches at the flea market; didn't bite due to some surface rust. Here comes another tool-restoration project that will save me a few bucks...thanks. For cast iron surfaces like a drill press table (or table...

While digging through tools at the flea market yesterday for some replacement sockets & screwdrivers I came across a Matco ARS1 WF - a 1/4" thumb driver. Of course I picked it up, brought it home and started to clean it up. The chrome is in great shape but the ball lock is rusted. I soaked it...

There are some $5 of $25 coupons for True Value floating around, I just haven't found a link that works or in a magazine.....

I second the Freud blades. The offer a wide selection (application) & sizes...a pleasure to use.

I've started hitting the flea market, pawn shops, CL & ebay to replace a few missing tools and expand my set. I'm just a DIYer so I'm pretty after basic tools. What do you do with your extra & mis-matched tools you pick up? If I'm trying to track down a couple of sockets or wrenches is my...

I'm in the market for a used 6" Jointer/Planer. I think the little 4" units are just too small. I'll use it at home for some woodworking. What brands/models are recommended as well as what brands/models to stay away from? How old is too old? I'm assuming most older equipment is cast iron...

On the chuck there is an arrow pointing clockwise, inside the arrow pointing clockwise it reads - LEAD. Next to that is "UPJT-3" I'm told this is a generic import chuck. The lable, on the front of the drill press, lists the Spindle as a JT3. I'm assuming the JT3 is a specific taper fit? Does...

Instead of hijacking an existing 1HP Drill Press thread I'll start one. I have a 1984 HDI 1/2 HP, 5/8" Chuck (JT3 import), 5 speed imported from Taiwan. I'm interested in a couple of upgrades. In the pulley/belt area there is a hole drilled in casing that appears to accept the third pulley...

The slop I describe is when I rotate in one direction then change rotational directions. Thanks for the info describing that. The casing appears to be a one piece casting. I don't understand how post #10 applies to it - sorry. I'll pick up a dial indicator to check run-out. I saw a cute jig...

Thanks...the previous owner had the motor rewound and talk about bad alignment! The top cover rubbed the drive pulley. The light didn't work, replaced the light...still didn't work then I looked at the wiring - another mess. But it cleaned up fairly nice and is now electrically safe. I'm...

I picked up a very similar drill press last fall. It's not a Central Machinery but a TDI 5-speed, 5/8" chuck & 1/2 HP floor model. It came with a nice forstner set and deburring attachment; for $75 is drills straighter than I can with a hand drill. What caught my attention was the info on the...
