Thanks

Sent a Pm, but I'm probably too late. Guess, Im not on here often enough. Very generous offer, indeed.

?.... If the ratcheting mechanism doesn't work, they give you a rebuild kit, or, a rebuilt kit. That apparently is the best case scenario. From what I've read on the tool forums, you'd rather have your old ratchet rebuilt if it can handle it, then get a newer, lesser quality ratchet that they are b...

Having that article helped, I searched the title and it was right there. August 1967 Popular mechanics. http://books.google.com/books?id=rtMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA148&dq=update+your+old+shopsmith&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7OCuU7qtN5KZyATYsoDwBw&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=update%20your%20old...

I get the idea this hasn't been discussed ? Surely someone has done this. What I'm thinking is a base something like this, but the cabinet goes fully to the end on the drill press side. This way it's good on height on both ends. Low on the left for under table and tall on the right for over table. ...

I admit that I haven't been here very much and yes, I have no interest in most of what is in the community forum. I had made posts in the past regarding the content in some community posts. Yes, what has gone on in this part of the community has kept me away. I understand the first amendment argumen...

A really cheap Craftsman router that is 1 3/4hp with free shipping. Appy the coupon code and it is a hair over $60. I just picked up a store return Triton 3 1/4 from a local retailer for $100 two days ago and a price match on a Bosch Kit which I learned later was an ad error, but I had gone to lowes...

Try Alibris and use a coupon code from RetailMeNot. I don't know if their coupons have changed, but you usually could get at least a dollar off. Many books I've paid shipping only. 1984 edition start around $8-9 with shipping and there is a 1953 for under $20 shipped. Abe books looks like another go...
