This lady is selling her husbands tools. He recently passed. I bought the RC-33 planer. She still has the jointer, drill presses, grinder and many quality hand tools. They are in their basement shop and the tools look brand new. Her husband bought them new and they have original owner manuals...

Since I can get abrasive blades for about 1/2 price of sanding discs, and when I cut metal on my table saw I use the blade to debur the cut, thought I would try one on my trusted Simplex sander. Had to drill and tap the shaft and fabricated a thick spacer washer then a heavy washer to clamp that...

Got a Delta Unisaw at an auction a few years ago for $60! It did not have a motor cover. I added a dust collector to it but have always been disappointed as without a motor cover, it still blew dust all over. I’ve toyed with motor cover designs, wanting more of a flush panel with a cut out for...

My 1980 vintage Makita palm sander that I bought new started spitting out some components of a plastic part. Still seems to work but I figured it’s day are numbered. So I updated to a 1965 vintage Craftsman that I found on Market Place. Even came with some vintage sandpaper. For $20., I think I...

Sander was completely disassembled, all parts cleaned, repainted. Worn parts replaced. Fafnir bearings cleaned and regreased. New cord. Runs like new. Very heavy and solid, this sander won’t walk off your bench. Can send an 14 second video of it running. Asking $195.

How about a thread to post pre and post pictures of tools you salvage, rebuild or restore. Any brand or type. I’ll start with a Craftsman wet grinder and I believe a Delta or Rockwell stand.

Friend gave me this belt sander a few years ago. It is horizontal and vertical, need to take out 2 bolts to change from h to v. Finally getting around to rebuilding it. Looks like a fence may be missing as there is a bolt in the area a fence would be. There is no name and it appears the base and...

Obtained a Craftsman top tool chest. It is missing the locking bars and key. No tags on the box. Looked some but couldn’t locate any. Does anyone know where one could get the locking bars? Or does anyone have pictures of them, as I could fab something up? Also need a key. Are these generic or...

Professionally rebuilt. Disassembled, all parts cleaned and replaced if needed, painted. New C-0 SKF and NSK bearings, new belt and rubber components. 1/2 hp motor cosmetically gone through and works as it should. Added column safety stop and light in the head. Model 103-23640 which is...

If I was into this era Craftsman drill presses, I would buy it just for the catalog. Hard to tell if it’s a complete catalog or just the cover. In South Bend IN marketplace.

Having rebuilt these vintage drill presses, I designed this light fixture that simply sets in the drill head and is held in place with a strong magnet. No drilling holes in your vintage drill. Porcelain socket and fiberglass board. Simply add your wire to the motor switch or, my preference, add...

Got this from the son of the owner who passed when I picked up a Craftsman drill. He started the restoration. 1939-41 by the logo I believe. $75 OBO
