Robbins & Myers Fan Restoration I picked up this fan at a garage sale this summer and finally got around to working on it. Pretty sure I paid 8 bucks for it, had a horrible house paint repaint job and bad wiring but it turned on and oscillated! Here are the before pictures, I'll update my...

I've been kind of absent from this forum this summer, taking a little bit of a break from shop fun to work non stop and do summer fun things. Anyway, thought this was worthy to post about. :3gears: My other 1947 10e is 97% done restoration, just needs a couple knobs here and there to complete...

Picked up this pile off CL for $25 today My favorite is this Black and Decker 1/2 drill. I have been unable to locate the chart showing the B&D logo timeline, can somebody direct me to that? I think this one is 20s. I left the non threaded pipe handle there by accident, kicking myself...

Sabre saw has some problems and I seriously don't need any more handheld power tools at all. In the hour it has been up I still have yet to find a single reason why this shouldn't be in my shop though... Pictures for posterity if I don't get there first. It's midnight

About 1" around at it's thickest point. I still use sometimes it to radius large holes, although it doesn't compare to a die grinder. It was my great grandfathers, don't know how old but I know it is rather old! I wish there was a way to sharpen these, although I bet it would cost a ton...

That quote was from the thread on my 15" planer. It had a fatal crack so I kept the parts and am making a coffee table out of it. Then I saw this craigslist ad I agreed to come sight unseen that morning, it was only 25 minutes away! It is filthy but the paint is rather good and it...

Apparently the sidekicks are just like a sawbuck, a sliding saw on rails. Can I use a blade from one on my table saw for finish crosscutting and plywood work? Or because of the sliding nature of the sidekick is the hook angle of the blades incorrect for table saw usage?

I need some new bases for a couple benchtop tools, something that doesn't waste space and is cost efficient. Having recently picked up a couple file cabs to build into a bench I really like how nice the slides are on the older heavy ones, and they are great for power tool storage and could be...

I saw this ad for a whole wood shop being parted out on craigslist from a guy helping out a neighbor who lost her husband. He knows nothing about it and said to make an offer. Listed as a rotor mill but is actually a delta 43-110 shaper...

As promised in the garage sale thread, I am starting a thread about all of my woodturning. Woodturning is what got me into fine woodworking and tools in general, I was making fishing lures and saw videos on the web of lathes, and just had to have one. I decided to make my own and designed it...

I just picked up a 5" crimped brush for my Milwaukee 11 amp grinder. Do you think it is too big? It clears fine but seems to be pushing the limits of this grinder, it spins up to full speed fine but starts to bog under moderate to light pressure. I bought it to do some finishing work on a large...

I am looking for a 9" sanding disc with a 5/8 arbor and set screw. I bought one for $20 on ebay a while ago, but it is cheap pot metal and doesn't run true enough to sand. I have been unable to locate anything online, can anybody help me out with this? I'm pretty stumped, even using the word...

I bought one off ebay for $20 as is a little while ago, it had tons of warp and didn't work right. I have been unable to find any online, so I am asking all of you if you have any 9" sanding plates with a 5/8 arbor and set screw. Thanks! :3gears:

Looking for 2 of these smooth hubs for the shopsmith. If you have any of the red handles that thread into them (just like a Drill Press) I am also interested in those!

In this thread you will watch me get way over my head! Seriously though, I have disassembled and painted about 5-6 motors before, but nothing this bad. Others have been rusted and needed bearings but the wiring was intact. This chicom was completely cosmetic This Craftsman needed a rewire...

Anyway, you think it would work on a disc sander? Assuming there isn't too much runout I don't see a problem. It would be nice to have a little dedicated tool that I don't have to keep setting up. The question is speed and grit. 220 or 120 grit on a 9"wheel? 3450 or 1750 rpm? Thanks for any input!

Pretty sure it's homemade, but it looks built well. The rests appear salvaged, but it's clean.

Just spotted this on the local CL. Guy claims it's a craftsman and $75. I'm not looking to buy, but In some basic research I can't find any like it. It looks like it says SKF but still never heard of them except for bearings Anybody seen one like it before?

Hey all, looking for 3 large lock down knobs for a craftsman drill press and 1 small one. Anyway, if you have one or all laying around send me a pm and we can make arrangements. I am really desperate for some! Thanks!

I am looking for a craftsman 1750 rpm capacitor start or repulsion induction motor for my drill press. 1/2hp or better If you have any other old motors, single shaft, dual shaft, any rpm, any condition and brand please let me know! I am looking for some to rebuild and repurpose on tools I find...
