Hello I went to check out a Delta Model 37-290 4” Deluxe Jointer with a 50-121 stand (cabinet) and a 62-142 ½ HP motor today, just a few miles from my house. Details: there are two identical units. One works great and is fully functional. We tested with 4x2 and it works great. The other unit...

have several standard Wilton bullet vises, but this is my first Cadet. I painted it light gold. I was originally planning to go with the classic orange, but decided on this theme instead. I’ve noticed that the Cadet feels much tighter and more precise than my other Wiltons. It does look a bit...

I am restoring a Wilton Cadet 9135. I have fully restored several Wilton Bullet vises before, but this is my first Cadet. As you know, the Cadet has a different vise nut housing arrangement compared to the standard Bullet vise without the end cap. I'm running into a couple of issues: I...

137-year-old vintage H. C. Marsh (Rockford, Illinois) miter corner vise and miter clamp with saw, made by Henry Disston & Sons. The blade measures 27 inches, and the full saw length is 33 inches. This massive contraption still works incredibly well. It appears to have seen very little use. I...

Hello All, Here are the restored photos of my Craftsman drill press (103.23130). I have a Gulf-livery–themed garage, so I repainted the drill to match the scheme. I cleaned it down to bare metal using a surface conditioning tool, Removed most of visible casting defects (except for the motor)...

Hey everyone! Came across a fully operational Blackhawk S-4 4 Ton Floor Jack (pictured below) up for grabs at $300. this is somewhat local about 3 hours drive. It's worth noting this model doesn't include the optional light. Normally, I opt for cheaper buys that I can fix up, but Blackhawk S-4s...
