Several years ago there was a company on line that offered a very cool multi-level tool cart called the tool tower. The company was called the Bad Idea Supply company, their twitter page is still up but their website is long gone https://twitter.com/Badideasupply I've searched high and low...

Hi all I just collected a 1958 Delta Wood and Metal 14" Band Saw (1958 by serial number list on OWWM) but I don't know and can't determine the model. It needs some work, lots of cleaning, new belts and adjustments. One of the bakelite knobs that holds on the belt covers is stripped. Is...

Selling a Duro base (early Benchmaster) that I restored with the idea of building a horizontal Benchmaster to sit beside my vertical Bmaster. It was a good idea when I lived in WI but having moved to NY I'm pressed for shop space, you'd be surprised how much real estate 2 of these take up when...

Hi all I'm looking for a rolling machine stand for a Delta DP 220 14" drill press that sits in front of a door to my hot water heater and boiler. I'd like get the type that sits properly on the ground but can be rolled away after you step on a lever to engage the wheels. There are lots of...

I've got a 1/3 hp block grinder in nice original shape, complete with lamp, side covers, glass guards and water tray, never painted or modified. Includes a factory stand, I'll throw in a 4 1/2 inch Hitachi grinder in its case. Asking $100. I'm in Smithtown on Long Island and plan to CL this...

Hi all I am moving into a house next week and while it is vacant I want to prepare and paint the interior garage walls which are drywalled and pained but fairly well scuffed and marked up. I'll TSP or clean the walls and then paint them white to spread the current lighting out as much as I...

Hi all I just collected a neat grinder for lathe tool bits that looks nicely shop made but on the chance it isn't I wanted to post a picture in case anyone recognized it and could provide the brand or manufacturer. I need to make a tool rest for it, probably a simple piece of angle iron will...

Hi all I picked up a DP 220 this morning in pieces, its complete apart from a gear that is used to crank the (production) table up and down, actually the crank handle is on another shaft this gear is on a separate shaft that is also missing. I need all the little pieces in the image, does...

Hi all I collected a pair of neat vintage Snap On Dwell Meters at a local garage sale, an MT 417 and MT 418, can't wait to use them on my little TR. The MT 417 (Secondary Dwell) is in good physical condition but the inductive pickup (clamp for the plug wire) is missing, there is a gray wire...

Hi all My mechanical rebuild or more accurately assembly from parts continues. I'm inspired by the restorations on this site but want to see and hear it run before I get out the paint and brushes. The drill press has a wound spring on the left side (looking from the front). I'm guessing it...

Hello collective, I come to you hat in hand after more than an hour of googling and searching forums for a pdf of the manual for the above analyzer I have to admit defeat. Does anyone have a manual that they can scan or a source I may knot have thought of? Matco's site doesn't list one and...

I have a folding shelf in the mudroom between the house and garage with a folding shelf. I overtaxed the brackets supporting the shelf and I can't find a replacement. They are plastic swiveling brackets that swing out of the way to allow the shelf to fold. They are 8 inches long and 4.75...

I need the collective's advice on a finish for my lathe bench. I just collected a South Bend 9B complete with a home made bench. The lathe and bench hail from the 50's, both are awesome but clearly no oil tray was used and the wooden top is oil soaked and too smelly for the basement. I've...

I purchased a used Snap on KRL 791 to sit on top of my rolling chest. It is white with black trim at the corners and as drawer pulls. White wouldn't be my first choice but finding a 791 by itself was a rare opportunity that I couldn't pass on. So the white is growing on me the black trim has...

Hi all I spotted a "Triumph Tool" on CL, having a TR6 I thought I'd have a look. It's not for a TR6 and the owner doesn't know if its for a car or motorcycle. Any ideas what this is for? I just want to inform the seller so they can describe it more accurately...

Hi Following the enthusiasm of this forum I purchased a Milwaukee bench grinder for restoration. Its super cool and supper heavy but is missing a fair number of pieces that I thought would be easy to find - not so! Does anyone have a source of parts for old grinders? I've been watching CL...

I'm moving my tools to a new (to me) tool box and found these in at the back of my old box. They are some kind of speed wrench that allows you to rotate the open end without lifting it from the bolt or nut. In SAE I have 3/8, 716, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4. That may or may not be a...

I was quite happy to collect an 8 inch 3/4 hp Milwaukee bench grinder (model 5051) off of Craigslist last weekend. Runs like a top BUT I noticed this morning that the cast base is cracked. There are several cracks in the saddle area where the motor sits and one starting in the corner at the...
