    Rockwell 1" Sander Grinder Wheel Repair

    Thanks guys! Some good ideas :thumbup: Think I'll try the intertube idea first. Should be able to fit a regular bicycle tube on the 2" wheels. For the 3 1/2" wheels, my favorite hobby just so happens to be motorbikes. I should have a old tube laying around...

    Rockwell 1" Sander Grinder Wheel Repair

    Scored a Vintage 8" Baldor Grinder...Questions Though

    Outlaw: I tried the 1/4" drive socket again with some light persuasion via a mallet. The socket just fit and was able to remove each of the 4 rods for painting. Slapped some paint on. Shouldn't be long now...

    What do you think about these Craftsman ratchets?

    I just picked up a 3/8" drive Premium ratchet. It's too early for me to render good/bad but has been good so far.

    Wilton Vise Stationary Jaw Repair

    I will definately check out your thread drivesitfar. A stand may be a better option than the bench. It's certainly worth considering. I didn't haggle on the price either. Felt 50 bucks was a good deal. The guy was also very nice, humble and drove an old truck. That goes a long way in my...

    Wilton Vise Stationary Jaw Repair

    Well I just picked the vise up. My basement workbench houses a Reed 2C. Even if I don't do the repair on the Wilton, it will be a welcome addition to my garage workbench. Been working on a bench grinder rehab lately. Perhaps the Wilton is up next...or maybe the Reed... Thanks for your help...

    Scored a Vintage 8" Baldor Grinder...Questions Though

    Thanks Outlaw. The 1/4" drive socket was a little thick. Some crud/paint in there but is out of the way now. I'll have to try a nut driver this evening. Not critical if I can't get it. Just a detail thing.
