I just fixed a similar drill. Got a new switch off ebay. Any one part cost about the same as a whole used drill. I fixed it for my Dad, who will give it to one of my kids.

If buying new, spend the extra $30 to get the green ones with big batteries. Amazon warehouse usually has some good deals.

Treadmills require "softstart" as a safety feature. You can disable that. you can also wire a switch into the speed control circuit to start/stop the motor without having to change the speed. I will write that up after I've tested. As others have suggested, you can just go buy all the...

Here's some better pics: The blue wire is optional, It's a switched line that stops the motor if it gets to hot. In the lower left of the schematic, it describes the speed control input. If wiring in a potentiometer, the outer legs go to L and H, and the center one goes to W

Nothing but oil or WD-40. If they already have rust "bumps", some 0000 steel wool will knock it off.

Thanks for the opportunity!

I'm thinking of doing this too, mostly in order to have bigger wheels.

I was going to make something to make it easier to move my floor standing Craftsman 150. I ran across these on woot.com. Anyone have experience or suggestions? I thought Harbor Freight had something similar, but I can't find it on their website anymore...

Here's one I made for my stubby Allen and torx sockets. A little easier than a normal socket set because I only needed 3 drill sizes. I did the layout in PowerPoint. Using the align and distribute tools made it easy. Printed to actual size and taped it to a 1 x 4 oak board. Center punched all...

I'm working in Brooklyn for a couple days. Any good places to hit? Looks like there's. Couple Mom & Pop hardware stores.

They are not carried in the store, must have been a return

Wire brush, but Dremel is way too small and will take forever. 3 or 4" wire brush in a drill will be a lot better. Maybe use the Dremel in areas the bigger brush can't get to.

Only spend big money on the Philips #2, the rest don't really get used hard. Even then most of the "hard" tasks are done by drill/drivers with replaceable tips. I have drawer full of craftsman that get used for lots of non-screw-driving tasks.

The drill press is nice, but lets see pics of the '64 ford!

I have these, I think they came from Giots Garage but they are the same as the titans. They are the smooth toothless kind. very good in tight spaces

Here's mine. I used pegboard for a lot of the organization plus a few custom wood pieces. Almost 100% older Craftsman, some Craftsman industrial, a few snap-on, and some Taiwan (impacts)
