I have been cleaning out the rat hole and had to move some of these machines around so I thought I would push them together for a "Delta Family Portrait". Hard to get them spread out enough for a group pic in my small shop but you can get a good idea of the verity of wood working machines that...

Hay guys, picked up this old surface plate the other day. It is 2' x 3' and 6" web. Has some dings and nicks, but overall the surface is in fair shape. Now I am not a machinist and have no use for a surface plate as such. (my limited abilities don't extend that far!:o) My intended use was...

What happened to the "log out" button at the top of the page? It has disappeared from my screen. Am I missing something? Using Safari, and up to this point no issues. Thanks.

Picked up this Quincy QE-5 recently and I am looking for information on this model. Plenty on the QT, but not for the QE. Not much available on the Quincy web site, and haven't talked to customer service yet. PO couldn't tell me much about the unit other than it didn't hold presser above 80#...

Browsing through an antique mall today and spotted this Gerstner W52 with the WB62 base. It's rare to see the walnut box around here, and exceptional to find one with the matching base. Not a steal, but a fair price and couldn't get the plastic out fast enough! :lol: Shows quite a bit of use...

Picked up this unused Harris cutting torch recently, and was hoping for some information on it. It was sold as new in box and initial inspection shows this to be correct as far as I can determine. Box is dated 1996 making this a "NEW" 20yr old torch set. :dunno: What can the welders of the...

Picked up this Gem #2 Vise recently, weighing in at 54#. Great condition and wearing original paint I believe. Now a couple questions for the vise experts please. First question, does anyone have any information on these Gem's? Made right here in Springfield Ohio, but haven't found much...

Picked up this 7in. Dayton grinder this afternoon at the local flea market and was hoping someone here could shed some light on the STAND! The grinder itself is a standard 7in, ½ hp, 3450rpm in nice shape, with all the parts and pieces there, and working. But what really caught my eye was...

Quick question for the Quincy folks... From the following picture, can someone tell me where the copper tube should be connected? I believe this ine is coming from the hyd un-loader, and I think it just reconnects to the tank pressure at some point. Is this correct? Should cause the hp valve...

Just picked up this Exide battery charger and would like to find out more information on it. Was told it worked, but I need to check wiring before I plug it in. If anyone has any information or knows where to find more info, I would love to hear from you. Thanks for any help.

I'm curious what you all find acceptable as far as air leaks in your system go. Just installed this new to me Saylor-Beall in the SSS, and as part of the install, I put up all new plumbing. Fit and sweat all the copper and fittings, got it all up and working and now I'm working out the leaks...

Picked up this C3 over the weekend and it is near perfect, but missing the end cap. (where do they all go?) I thought there was a vise repair sticky on here, but my search has been unsuccessful. I know that freeze plug is one option, but was looking for other solutions. Would appreciate any...

Picked up this Century 5hp 1745rpm 1ph 220v motor at auction today and was hoping someone here can tell me something about it. It spears new and unused. Doesn't show any marks of being wired, or having pulley mounted. I am hoping to use this to replace the 5hp 3ph on a Quincy 325 compressor I...

Evening all, Picked up this jack at a local auction today and thought I would share a few pics and ask if anyone is familiar with this old jack. Can anyone shed some light on the Drednaut name? Looks to be part of Ausco now? Anyone know what size this would be? Guessing #3000? Other than...

Some of you may remember my CL find from a few months back, That thread is Here Thought some might like to see how it looks now. I have to admit, I did not do this restoration. I didn't feel comfortable replacing the packing on the pump, so I found a shop that said they could rebuild...

You Ky folks, this is just a little to far for me to wander... Blackhawk jack Let us know which one of you get it. :lol_hitti

Evening all, Picked up a old drill press from a guy and received a box of extra parts. In the box were the following items which are unknown to me. Guy was a machinist, with several old laths and presses and such which may help. Know someone here will have answers for these. First is Starrett...

Picked up this sweet Blackhawk jack recently from a CL add. I believe it is a S-4 model, but I am trying to determine that for sure. Age unknown. How does one determine age on these? I've wanted one of these since I spotted them on this site. Got lucky with this catch as it seems to be in...

Picked this Delta buffer up from a local school auction today and am looking for any information anyone may have about it. S/N dates it to 1979 I believe, and it seems to be in pretty good shape for 34 years. Can find plenty of grinders of this type, but no buffers. Anyone have a manual for...

Just completed cleaning and painting this Parker 272 and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Thanks to another member here, I was able to fabricate replacement parts for the dynamic jaw screw handle. Works great. All is in good shape with the exception of a handle/bar for the swivel...
