    WTB: Craftsman Pedestal Stand Motor Mounts

    I'm building dust collection shrouds for my grinders. I think I have it figured out how to mount them using Craftsman motor mounts. I have a couple on pedestal stands and the others are on bench top drill presses where the head was trashed (or got transferred to a floor stand, in one case)...

    A Day in the Spotlight for a Craftsman Mohawk Drill Press

    I used my Mohawk drill press for some photos for a new product we launched at Woodpeckers. The old gal is pretty photogenic. Some more images on the product page: https://www.woodpeck.com/dp-pro-tcs-drill-press-table.html

    Recognize This Craftsman Box?

    Anyone recognize this Craftsman wall-mount box? Looks like it might be for a router, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm tempted to grab it, no matter what its original intent.

    Cleveland Jeff's 1958 Cast Iron Craftsman Grinder Restoration Thread

    I'm a sucker for Craftsman Power Bronze. There. I said it. Maybe it's because it was a thing when I was an infant. Maybe it's because it was "the good old stuff" when I was a youngster.

Use as is, change bearings now, or wait a few years until they make you change them. Has a Craftsman 15-1/2" table instead of W-T. I have...

    CURRENT Recommendation for Pre-WWII Craftsman Machinery Blue

    The paint recommendations on Vintage Machinery for close matches for Craftsman blue seem to all be out of stock or discontinued. Anyone have a good "go to" off-the-shelf match for 40s era Craftsman blue? Rattle can or quarts, doesn't matter. Quarts would give me a reason to drag out my HVLP and...

    New to GJ, Working on a Mohawk Drill Press

    Hey guys. I'm new to Garage Journal, but I spend quite a bit of time over on OWWM. Seems like there are a few Craftsman drill press experts hanging around here, so I thought I would try to pick your collective brains. I have a Craftsman 103.0303 that I tore down tonight. I've been absorbing...

    Newbie from Northeast Ohio

    I hang out mostly at a forum site that centers around old woodworking machinery (owwm.org), but I always seem to end up on GJ when I Google something. I decided to join because members here will appreciate a recent purchase far more than the "Old 'Arn" crowd at the machinery forum. Looking to...
