Up for grabs is a Biesemeyer overarm blade guard. This item is unused. It likely weighs more than my meager Craftsman table saw, so I really have little use for it. I need the space and a certain toolmonger needs the money, so somebody take this off my hands! How does $250 sound? Given the size...

I'm mid-way through a drill press restoration and the bearings in the motor need to be replaced. What's your general recommendation on a bearing puller? I'm looking for more machinery-oriented applications than automotive-specific ones. Is the HF stuff ok for this, or is this somethig I need...

I'm looking for a motor pulley for a Delta HDP -125 drill press. Mine decided to split itself in half before I even had the thing up and running. It's between a 1947 and a 1952 model, 1/2 hp Delta Milwaukee dual arbor RI motor if that helps. I've got this up at OWWM too, just wanted to cover...

I recently acquired an old delta homecraft drill press ('Arn score thread in process, trying to find the USB cable for my camera) that the PO had thoughtfully modified. He has the pulleys set up with the small diameters on top and the large diameters on bottom. One needs to be flipped, and after...

So a combination of snow, alcohol, and clutter-reduction promtped me to make better use of one corner of my shop. I have 2 old snapper push mowers, and after adding a bandsaw (see earlier thread here), I really only had room for one. Gratuitous amounts of Coors and a lonely stack of 2x pine...

So we've heard a lot lately about this big box store discontinuing American stuff for cheaper imports, and that big box store converting their store brand (that starts with a C) to Chinese factories, etc. etc. I was wandering through our local Northern Tool yesterday with the intention of buying...

Well, I finally got my latest find home and set up. It's a 1981 Rockwell 28-200 14" bandsaw. This here's a wood-only model, for those who were wondering. :thumbup: I got it from an older guy who was in bad health and was selling his entire shop, and because I like to sleep at night, I didn't...

So I've decided I need a truck and I really like the square body F-series from the late 80's through the mid 90's. I'm a Ford guy at heart, but I'm not a 302 fan. I've looked at a few F150's with the 300 I6, but for a small sum more, I can get an F250 with a diesel. I've never owend a diesel...

I know it's not a big number, but I've seen a few woodworkers on here. Just placed an order for a set of these. http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=66066&cat=51&ap=1 I'm stupid excited about them as I've needed a good carcass saw and for some reason haven't purchased one. These are...

So I was wandering around my friendly local Lowes the other day when stopped by the circular saw section. My current corded saw is a gimpy piece of chit that needs replacing, so I was looking for the sake of looking, and we all know what that leads to... Long story short, after drooling over...

I've been looking for a (wood cutting) bandsaw for a while now. I do most of my work with hand tools, but a bandsaw be useful every now and again. Anyway, found a craftsman 12 inch 1 hp model with a tilting head on the local craigslist for a pretty reasonable price ($110). I'm sure it'd go for...

After using one for a year, I've gotten attached to aluminum decked snapper mowers. They just cut better than most other stuff. Found this on Craigslist for a more than reasonable price. Aluminum deck, original briggs engine, and not a speck of dirt on it. I don't know whether to mow with it or...

The search function is not my friend today. It isn't returning anything. Anyway, anybody got any thoughts concerning a good tap and die set? I'm a hobbiest, not a machinist, but I don't want ****. I'm not opposed to low priced stuff, just don't want bad quality. :D Any horror stories about a...

Since Porter Cable has become a hot topic this week, I thought I'd pose a question as several of you seem fairly knowledgable about the subject. As the ToolGuyd has pointed out, their NiCad sets are on sale, and they're pretty cheap. I'm assuming this is a close-out sale to start phasing out the...

Where do you get your sheet metal for projects? I'm not a metal fabrication wizard or anything. Just need a few small pieces for mounting/reinforcing stuff, etc. Looked at McMaster Carr, but hate to pay shipping on something like that. Do welding supply stores like AirGas sell sheet stock or...

I was recently given an older (25-30 years old i guess) Murry with a 9 hp briggs on it. I am perfectly content push-mowing my small yard, but thought this might make a hilarious project before I get crazy and start the motorized bar stool build later in life. Anybody involved with racing these...

I'm in the market for a set of jack stands. They'll primarily be holding up a 62 galaxie, so overkill is a good thing. Are the ones from harbor freight, northern tool, etc. worth anything? Are they generally considered safe to crawl around under? Or is there a brand I need to look for? I'm...

My new house has a 2 car garage with a whopping 2 outlets in it. I want to add a 3 or 4 more, and i want a floodlight installed on the outside of the garage. Assuming I've got the breaker space and i don't mind bare conduit running across my walls, anybody care to give me a rough estimate of...

Anybody care to give a FNG a quick rundown on tooth count vs type of work, size advantages ("standard" 7 1/4 vs larger sizes), thoughts on power ratings (corded only, don't want cordless.), etc? I'm about to build a workbench, and I'll be doing some deck work soon, so I'll be using it for...
