The grinder is complete. I rewired and reattached the lamp with a toothed washer to prevent the gooseneck from turning. The stand is dismantled for cleaning and new hardware.

I have no doubt 641 will work fine and is better for your application. I'll have to check my MSA above. It's been several years since I installed new bearings. I suspect that the one drop of purple locker per bearing is still holding tight.

I use thread lockers and retaining compounds frequently. Here are a couple applications similar to your situation. I used just a drop of low strength thread locker in these two situations. I'm not familiar with Loctite 641, but used 609 here...

This morning, I tore down the grinder, cleaned and reassembled the motor portion. The only real change I made was to redo the cord grommet. I replaced the plastic strain-relief grommet with a rubber grommet and hog ring. I had to slightly enlarge the grommet bore. The previous owner...

The grinder is a 1/3 hp model 397.19580. I pulled it off the stand and the date on the bottom plate is AUG 11, 1969. Both eye shields glass are good and all rubber feet are present. The right tool rest was the only missing piece. EDIT: Actually, the left tool rest is missing. They were installed...

Was this worth the $15 I paid? The seller said it didn't run.

Dunlap Vise #5244, continued I completed painting the Dunlap vise over the weekend. Painting took several days, so when I removed the masking, I scraped the corners with a razor blade. This eliminates the possibility of paint peeling off with the tape. The jaws are just slightly...

Last week, I picked up this Indestro Super 274 slotted cross arm puller. It's virtually identical to the Proto above except the 274 is threaded 9/16-18 vs. 9/16-12.

I had two drill presses with solid columns. DP#49 was an Atlas 1045. DP#66 was a '57/'58 King-Seeley Craftsman 100. Both of those machines started as bench-top models. The columns were standard 2-3/4" round stock. Both of those columns were 48" tall and heavy AF at 80 pounds. I can't...

And using it with hot tap water works even better. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/craftsman-drill-press.227480/post-11655845

Thanks!

Dunlap Vise #5244 There are 100+ posts on GJ with search hits for "Dunlap 5244", so these vises are somewhat common. Last week, I picked up this Dunlap vise #5244 for a quick project. I don't have much experience with bench vises, but I believe there were several versions of this model. This...

Yeah, I should have mentioned above that I always(?) remove all badges and only use Meguiars Cleaner wax on badges.

My first priority is to preserve the original paint when possible. My process is to spray with Grez-Off, scrub with a small nail brush, rinse, dry and wax. I've tried several degreasers and found Grez-Off to work the best. It's more expensive than others, but the results are worth it, imo...

Welcome from Shelby Twp! Those Atlas machines have a few tricky parts; the spring housing, the feed handle hub, the spindle pulley, the base. Yours is missing the feed stop assembly. The oe assembly is the bolt-on style, but if you look for a replacement, the clamp-on style will also work...

You can remove the intermediate pulley and sell that separately. Then, sell the drill press whole. I've done that many times with Craftsman drill presses. You'd need to flip the motor pulley over and get a new v-belt.

Thanks for the new photos. I'm even more convinced that it was not originally a drill cabinet.

I'm thinking it was originally made for something else and repurposed into a drill cabinet. What are the cabinet and drawer dimensions? Are the drawers on rails or do they just slide in? More pictures please..

Wow! What is the diameter of the machined ID, an early 2-3/8" or a late 2-1/2" ?
