Thanks 91bronc300. The no-load hence higher rpm thing makes sense. Wire-wheeled the rest of the old paint off this evening, cleaned up the switch and other hardware. Looking forward to receiving bluebolts delivery in another day or two. Should be painting this weekend :thumbup: Silly...

Close enough to call it a 7306?

That's good to know Deskmechanic. My existing set is 30 years old, seen quite a bit of use (and abuse) and haven't had a noticeable wear issue. However, the extra hardness sure won't hurt :)

Thanks for the heads up! Just ran over to Sears and picked up the 6 pc. set. They feel very comfy in hand. My old Craftsman set isn't uncomfortable, but these are better. And for $19.99 plus I received a $5 coupon the next time spending $35+, you can't go wrong!

My poor mailman. Had a few heavy items for him over the years :evil:. Thanks again bluebolt.

I don't use protection with my impact driver.

Not sure. I picked mine up on Ebay.

There's also a Craftsman Professional line too. At least for ratchets as I just bought one...and yes Made in USA.

I'd contact him first and ask if he's willing to take $50 for it. Sort of a "if you'll help me with half the gas, I'll take it"

New excitement to get the rehab done! Picked up some hammered paint too...

Thanks again Bluebolt! You saved me alot of work and it will look "stock" :). Adding 30 pounds of iron to the grinder may make it two-man job to move around!

Outlaw; Here are the end views. Probably not an exact match to what Dave shows in his pics but no end caps. Dave: Thanks for posting up the pics!

Bluebolt: PM incoming

Ahhh....I'm thinking you're both right. Made a little more progress: Any meaning to these numbers? Model, date of manufacture, inspection marks?

Not sure I follow CNC. The "inner" bearings are shown below. Are there bearings built into the outside covers too?

Thanks Drivesitfar. The 2x4's are attached using 1/4"x6" Spax screws from Home Depot (made in USA btw :thumbup:). I don't have a mortiser as that would have been preferred...especially if I add a shelf one day and load it up with stuff. If that happens, would likely add some angle brackets or...

For those that like to think outside the box :D

WWII Jeep: Well thats certainly one way to familiarize yourself with different equipment :) Doesn't sound like you were counting the days either ;) All: The table is just about finished. Had some good friends provide their old kitchen counter to which I am grateful. Still not set if it will...

Thanks WWIIJeep! You have significant knowledge of Baldor grinders (and probably others too). Did you used to work for them, work in a shop that has them, strictly as a hobby, etc? What about other tools?

My dad's small toolbox in the garage has that vomit smell and now I know why! He does have Craftsman screwdrivers in there. After cleanup, what can be used to coat the scredriver handles to prevent the smell from coming back? Sounds like Johnson's Paste Wax is out.
