Nice job Reg! Really like those handles, very sharp. It looks like that machine is going to be good as new, and run great for you. Curious on how you roughed out the fingers on that powerfeed part. I'm not a machinst; just play around a little. Enough to be dangerous unfortunately. :oops: Looking fo...

Pete, that is a marvelous score! Great write up and pics. Man, I would have never attempted unloading that alone. It took three of us to move my Clausing 8520, and I thought that was five to few. She's a beautiful machine, and looks to be in great shape. So where is the ultimate landing spot in your...

Curious what size spindle that sander uses. Did you have to dive into the gearing?

Looks like you're getting pretty decent results.

Not to thread hijack, but why not use electrolysis?

Thanks for the information Pete. Would have never thought of spacing out the drill heads. Going to try something similar on a drill press I've got; right now its just a couple of clamps and a 2x4. Nice job on the fence, and thanks again for the information. Good luck on getting that magnetic base dr...

Hello, I hope you don't mind a stupid question. But Pete did you drill the holes in the table to attach the knobs and braces? Or did you use existing holes? It looks too uniform without drilling the holes. If you drilled the holes, did you have to remove the table on your press (that looks to be a p...
