Here's a picture I took of the original when I made the .ai file. If you print up a "more accurate" version, I'd love a copy too! http://s1303.photobucket.com/user/jwwsector9/media/IMG_5659_zps6xmesubv.jpg.html

Finally found a nice vise in great condition on my local craigslist Wilton bullet with a static base and 5" jaws. Date code for 1975 Previous owner said he got it from his grandfather. He sprayed it with a coat of primer

Love that vise, nice find Maui!

Hey cman, sorry about the delay. Here are the 1/3 HP label files https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2Sqi1r8gkMDSk5qcmNlZ2VPZTQ&usp=sharing The file I used to print from case-badges.com was similar to the one labeled "Label Illustrator 1 3 HP Transparent vector ready.ai"

Hi cman, Here's a quick edit to my file. Take a look and see if the numbers are right. I can then upload the files to Google Drive

Hi pendragon, I am not sure what material they are made of. The website never really specifies. If I had to guess I would say they're a vinyl sticker. Here's the website description of them http://www.case-badges.com/metallic-rectangular-custom-labels-3-x-4-max-p-360.html They call it a...

A few updates to this thread: -I have been notified that I messed up the vector based file! It still required the fonts, meaning that I didn't properly convert the text over to vectors. I believe I have fixed the problem, so delete the old file on your computer (to avoid confusion) and download...

Hmm those looks like the grommets that go on the bottom of the grinder Exactly!

Thanks for the input above guys. Has anyone found a source for the little feet that go on the bottom of the heavy duty base? Supposed to be part 5219033 "Foot and screw assembly". They're quite different from the little rubber grommets that go on the grinder itself. I looked in the hardware...

Are you guys using anything special to paint or seal over the paint on the water quench tray?

This thread is quite timely for my current project. I have a pair I am trying to clean up now. I was wondering if anyone has taken a series of progressively increasing sandpaper grits to theirs to get rid of deeper defects? Mine are looking much better after being cleaned up with some toothpaste...

I posted a thread with the label and files here http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310883 :)

I have been working on a digital version of the "Craftsman Commercial" block grinder label. This particular label is for model 397.19671 but can be readily adapted to some of the other models with the same design. I ended up changing the font for the majority of the text to Century Gothic Bold...

New version of the Craftsman Commercial block label, updated with Futura font. Wasn't able to get the exact one that altersaddle mentioned due to price but the Futura Condensed Medium is reasonably close IMHO. It is a little heavier (more bold) than the original Thoughts?

Excellent!! Looks like a great match to me based on web samples. Will do more searching later in the week to see if I can find a downloadable version that is free, or cheaper than the $20 I just found How the heck did you find that? :lol_hitti

I have been messing around with making a new label in Adobe Illustrator. On the left is my "faithful" reproduction of the label. The middle is a picture of the label. The right has a larger Craftsman crown logo without the Sears logo. If there's any interest, I plan to make these available...

Grinder Safety 101: Never cut off the ground prong, especially on a 6.0 amp 3/4 HP bench grinder... :shocking:

Ok so dumb question but... I wanted to ask before I keep cranking on this. The threads are opposite on the two ends of the arbor, right? One side has right-hand threads and the other left-hand threads

Picked up my first block grinder today. Super excited about it. I plan to restore it Model number 397.19671, 3/4 HP with 8" wheels Came with a homemade stand that isn't half bad, except for the rust Listed for $75, picked it up for $55 A couple more pics in my album here...

I think I might try it out with an arbor adapter and some paper wheels to sharpen knives. I only spent $10 for the motor so I won't feel too bad if it ends up letting out the magic smoke! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
