Think I found a solution that does not involve me finding a machinist to make a new gear. A gent on ebay had an 0305 pinion, with is similar, and upgraded from the 0303. The 0305 "upgrade" has the teeth broached onto the pinion shaft, as opposed to having a separate gear with a notch in the...

Thanks gents. While I have the will, my equipment and skillsets are currently not up to the task; and I am now 6 months into my 3-month 1000 SF garage build project, so the odds of getting machine-able and capable soon remain slim... :unsure: lafester - After hunting around a few weeks, I...

Attached pic did not post? Trying it again.

Speaking of old threads... :) Guess I'll post here and see what happens. Picked up an unloved 103.0303 a few months ago. Functional, mostly all there, but...loose. Especially the spindle, in the mid travel area. At the top it was tight, as well as the bottom. Hmmm. Finally got a break from...

I sent some pics to a the Hammerscale guy in NC, and (short version) he indicated that the taper damage appears significant enough that my options are: a) regrind down to a #33, assuming there is enough material un-galled, b) build up the taper with weld and then regrind, or c) make a new...

Bummer. Thanks for the response. And the quest continues...

Hoorn - A little thread resurrection... I like the detailed pics you provided. :thumbup: Did you perchance happen to take a pic or document the length of the splines on the spindle? I picked up my SB DP a few months ago; but the spindle (taper) appears to be toast. I started another thread...

WAS Jr - I have posted over there yesterday, but there has not been a SB DP owner response; tough crowd to noobs, I guess. Whitworth - I agree, it is a great looking DP; and once tuned up, I expect it to outlast me... I'm still bummed that the PO was...perchance...less than honest in his...

Thanks for the responses guys. Much appreciated. RoninB4 - The measurements are the best I can obtain from my tools; a 10 year old digital micrometer and a new Harbor Freight dial indicator. I am also ignorant of some potential South Bend machine dependent decisions made decades ago. I.e...

Thanks Whitworth; that is the best assessment I can come up with as well. But it baffles me how South Bend literature can indicate a Jacobs 34 correlates to a CE1201, and then in other docs indicate the CE1201 is a 6T33. There is not on 6T-33 Chuck on ebay; and the 33 Taper dims do not match...

Thanks all for the responses. morgandave - pretty sure it is not a Morse Taper, as SB offered an optional Spindle with a Morse 2 taper. See attached pic "SB Accessories". Mine is the "Spindle J, with short taper". Why the heck that Taper was not defined is a question for the ages. RoninB4 -...

Dang. Not sure what happened. They might have been too large a file size. I'll try again with a reduction in size.

Was getting tired of the lateral play (everywhere) and offset at full extension with my 15 YO Craftsman, so I picked up a SB drill press a several weeks ago from local CL. 3rd owner, who bought it from the son of the guy who bought it originally in Chicago; I'm a sucker for chain of custody...

Model 5268-21, 1 1/8" SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer. Used it to drill quantity 21 10"deep by x 3/4" holes for setting sill plate anchor bolts and seismic hardware with the Milwaukee bit. On the 22nd hole I hit rebar; stopped the drill from going any further, but it did not bind. Picked up a 3/4"...

Thanks for the info all. It really looks like the stores are just winging it, per Renegade 1L1. Called and talked to the Oracle Store Manager today - he confirmed - again - that they do not intership. He also indicated that the reason the other 2 stores may have identical merchandise rolling...

Garcky - Yea, I get that. But I am curious if this is a tactic they are using, or if it is just a random incident. If random, ok then. But if others are experiencing this, then it would be good info (to all) to never let the Manager order something for you, if it is in-stock at a nearby...

Tried that. Even though all the stores are company owned, the Manager at the Oracle store indicated they do not intership. Don't know why; or just have me pick up the stuff from another store - they are all within 10 miles of each other.

On Feb 17 I went in one of my local (Tucson) Harbor Freight stores and purchased (2) 56" cabinets, and a top and bottom 44 Tool Chest. They only had a single 56" in stock, and ordered the other items. The manager said it would be about a month. Got them with the IT discount, and opened up a...

Looking for the older, heavier version AC9944 (attached), NOT the AC9946 tubular version. Anybody have one laying around not being used? Thanks.

Superb work!:bowdown: Can I ask how you supported the vertical wall boards? Battens on top of the vertical studs? I was planning on the simplest means; horizontal boards perpendicular to the studs; but I reall like how yours turned out.
