Does anyone know this Drill Press? - 22 replies I bought this old drill press at an estate sale. It took two hefty guys to put it on my truck. It has no brand label. It has a cast iron (I think) hood protecting the belt pulleys. Everything works very smoothly after I did a little cleaning and oiling all the moving parts. The motor sounds a little strange – almost groaning. The wei... |

What's best for carved basswood sanded to 400 grit? - 9 replies I’m putting finishing touches on a basswood carving which I don’t want to color (paint or stain) because most people already know the natural color of Calla Lily, and by coloring it, it cheapens it and could possibly make it look like a made in China resin cast you see in Hobby Lobby. But I do want to protect it and seal it before p... |

Lifter Screws - 18 replies I bought a used Sears Craftsman Jointer/Planer #113.206931. the flat-head machine set screws that are supposed to be screwed all the way in BEFORE the jointer blades were installed wrong. Instead they were forced in from the top AFTER the blades were set in. So these screws got bent or warped in the process. Now that I removed them – w... |

JointMaker Pro v2 by Bridge Cith Tools - 3 replies Is anyone familiar or experienced with this tool? It’s not quite a hand tool and definitely not a power tool – it has no motor.

Sears 6" x 36" Jointer Planer - 4 replies I have a couple of questions on this jointer/planer, please. 1) Can anyone tell me what “Serial or Code Date: 4090.P0236” means. 2) The work surface is rusted, but does not appear to be pitted. What is the best way to remove the rust and restore its surface? I bought it off CraigsList today for $90 mounted on what looks like a... |

Huge 24" Scroll Saw - 5 replies I just acquired a humongous scroll saw made by Boice Crane. I have not heard of it before and never seen one. I came pretty dirty as it had been in a rancher’s barn for years. You can imagine! It also weights a ton. It took two hefty guys to load it on my p.u. and to unload it when I got it to my shop. It runs a little rough and loud... |

Stanley Mod. 83-069 Vice - 0 replies I bought two Stanley 83-069 earlier this year and have been using them for holding the canes I make. I use one on each side of my work bench so my cane could be firmly held and stable. the problem is that the rubber vice-jaw protectors keep falling off – even if I just look at them the wrong way.I’ve tried double-sided tape, every ... |
