I would be inclined to keep it. You could do a moderate to full blown resto with that DP. You don't even really have to do it "right now". Hang on to it for awhile, and then you might find yourself comming up with plans and ideas for it. Kinda like an old car/truck. Good luck!

Here you go...simple and sweet

Gotcha :beer:...

o For $100 I could get 3 stands built specifically for it from HF. Unless your sanding/grinding more than 1/2" off whatever....you shouldn't need to be hunched over long enough to get a sore back.

Oh I don't fault the seller. Didn't bother me but for maybe 5 minutes or so then I was over it lol.

Cleaning up the back yard yesterday. I had an old Weber charcoal grill that needed hauled to the dump. I decided to use the stand to mount my newly aquired disk/belt sander, so I cleaned it up a little bit. Need to come up with a table top which shouldn't be difficult to come up with...

Well, I blame it all on myself. Even though I shook the guys hand and said I would be back tomorrow....guess that don't mean anything anymore to some people

Alright he called me back.......he sold it :mad: Thats what I get for snoozin

Gonna give him a call in a bit and see when he's available today

Garage selling yesterday. One of the items I came across was this engine hoist. I don't know if it works, the seller didn't know either. He said $20 and you can take it home. Took up too much space at his house so he stuffed it in his trailer. I didn't take it home because I didn't have a...

Yea, a few of us talked about that earlier in the thread. I'm pretty certain that someone swapped out the Craftsman head and put it on another brand drill press a long time ago. The table and base looked equally beat up and old as the head was, but I'm sure its a mix/match set up.

Yes I was able to use the garage sale one. Its a little bit smaller than the original one though. It will do for now.

Thanks! Thanks! Now I need to track down a stand for it to go on Nice read! It's been at the house for half a day and I've already used it twice lol!

Well, I put it all back together and tried it out. I'm really happy with it. There is still a few things I need to take care of. I'm going to search for a bigger Jacobs chuck/arbor and shorten the handles about 2" and keep searching for that metal band up top. I used high temp grease on...

Set out for a good morning of garage selling today. I found and bought a Cal Hawk belt/disc sander. He was asking $60 for it. I told him I would give him a crisp $20 bill and before he could counter offer, his wife stood up from her chair and said "SOLD!" :lol_hitti So I plugged it in...

I'm prolly gonna keep my eye out on ebay for another one. I prefer the original look of those bans. Well, the chuck arbor wouldn't break free. I had it in a vise, using a strap wrench trying to get it to loosen up and it never would. I ended up wackin it with a big dead blow and it shattered...

I/m gonna make an attempt to finish it later today. I got new hardware to mount the motor and installed, more old hardware I still have to clean, and I still got this damn arbor soaking in PB blaster. The metal tag that goes across the top from side to side is gonna be painted now. I...

Well, it does in the picture but up close in person it looks decent at best. Also, the long metal emblem that goes across the top is beat to **** so I shined up the back side of it and I'm going to put it on that way.

Wow thats nice ^^^ Here's my progress. Got some prime and paint done today. I was a sucker for the Hammer finish so I went with that. I'm gonna take the work plate back into work and let the belt sander take care of the work surface later. I'm done for now. I had to mow/edge/weed the yard...

By the time I figured out the blaster wasn't operational in the airframes shop, all the machinests secured for the day so I couldn't use the lathe. It'll chuck up...its big enough, just a matter of getting access to it again. I don't want to ruin my welcome over there either so I'll just wait...
