I am looking for a few parts for the first generation Hendey Tie Bar lathe 1904-1914. I do believe parts for a pre-1917 hendey will work. IF there is a pas lathe out there that would like to keep a beautiful lathe alive, I would be much obliged. Thank you! 415 418-912

Found this in a scrape pile, loaded it up and brought it home. Dalton "6" Lot 4. it has a relatively low serial number considering they made a few thousand of these. I think this is from approx. 1920. I am sandblasting the castings, wire wheeling the moving parts and cleaning up all the...

I am looking for a few misc parts for an old Dalton. I know these are scarce but I thought I would try. I am in California. If anyone has a donor lathe or ideas on where one might be, I would love the assistance. Cheers!

I have done the requisite searches and turned up very little. I have also read the Alloy page but I just had a foot surgery today and I guess this is a distraction for me :) I'm just interested in possibly identifying the age this particular set and any interesting tid bits. I keep it...

I upload my photos using the upload manager and I save them on my drive as actual size are large, but they always attach in my post as a thumbnail and tiny. What is the trick. I want to post large photos of sockets etc with the details and I am at a loss, I have tired everything and I know I...

So, we sold our house and moved further into the hills of Marin County and the place is great but no shop. I converted the car port into my make-do shop. I light it, powered it, enclosed it with carriage doors, windows and a door. Here is my Iron collection that is not really a collection as...

Just picked up a complete Band saw today. It is a 16" wood cutting, only thing missing is the original belt guard. I was amazed to also get it with a complete set of Carter blade guards. I would love to hear peoples experiences with these

I made a thread but I cant find it so here is another: Anyway, here is a little tool I did and love. Stand I made out of Plywood and yellow cedar. I milled a new spindle, changed the bearings and rebuilt the motor. I also have a reverse Drum switch on it's way. I would love to find a pile...

I bought this parks 95 on February 26th. It was on my quest list and I was looking for a decent project. Today I fired it up for the first time and made wood chips! I tore it down completely and replaced the bearings, knives, elevator shaft, bushings, in-feed roller bearings. I wired in a...

Anyone here have experience with older Daytons. Mine is a 5K47C0. My bearings are squealing but I am unable to find oil ports or oil cups. It is not antique by any stretch but it is not new either. Are these self lubricating and I need new bearings or what am I missing? Any help you be greatly...

I broke the fence slide on my C-man jointer 103.23340 this aft. Happened in the middle of a project. I immediately went to Ebay and could find anything and CL in my area has no donor candidates priced right..... SO I am hoping one of the Craftsman guys here may have this part or a donor...

I posted a few pics of my Long C box a while back....I have the tray and want to build a ratchet, socket and wrench kit that is period appropriate, essentially the mechanics collection of the time. I understand there are probably a few options but I would like some help from the good folks of...

I have the chance to pick one of these up and I am on the fence. I have a perfectly restored 113. with a 2HP motor wired for 220. I also have 103. 8" and 103. 9" saw that various people have given me and I have cleaned them up for the sake of the project. Do I really want a 103.27270?? It...

I have been looking for one of these for a while now and finally found one thst was complete and in working condition. I am stoked that all I really needed to do was disassemble and clean the castings and wire wheel the moving parts. I would love to here about anyone else who may have...

I am wondering if anyone on the vintage tool forum spins one of these old altas/CM 101 wood lathes or something similar and is using a Nova 2 or G3 chuck. I am running a 1/3 HP motor and wonder if the weight of the Supernova 2 might be too much (5lbs). I havent found many lathe discussions...
