Topic tags/keywords: resource tip drill-driver clamp drill press

I spent some time on Craigslist and ended up with some new toys at very reasonable prices.

Delta benchtop drill press with owners manual…chuck removed by me to find correct chuck key…the only thing missing from it.
PorterCable 18v saw and drill with charger and 2 batteries ,with carrying bag.
Freud 8” Super Dado , complete set in great shape.
Freud Brass router bushing guide set…complete.
2 Bessey 90 degree angle clamps
2 heavy duty bench dogs…not familiar with the brand , but will certainly work for my needs : )
Heavy Duty Rubbermaid tote with hinged lid…had been looking for something like this to keep all of my straps and ratchets and ropes and tarps in for my trailering needs.

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.
