As noted in my FJ60 post, I picked up an old Craftsman drill press from a fellas garage. I noticed it when I went to purchase a POS Delta belt/disc sander (I thought it was good). It took me a while to convince him he needed to sell it to me, but I prevailed. Enough yap, here are some pics. I don't know all the details on this thing, but it works like a champ! I need to do a little wiring on it to bring it back to full functionality, but it did its job today without complaint. 73 -Jon KJ6GVM As seen on Expedition with TX plates: VEGETARIAN - An old Indian word for poor hunter Grampa's Trooper 1974 FJ40 1987 FJ60 Re: Old School Power Tools - Post 'Em Up!

I got most of his tools after he passed. 3 years later, I'm finally taking inventory of what he left me. I'll post pics sometime soon of the interesting stuff. Nice press, Jon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound... Re: Old School Power Tools - Post 'Em Up! [Re: hazy_daze] #1013408 11/23/10 08:20 PM Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 3,272 Pebble Beach, CA Oyaji_Jon OP Roll Me Over Thanks, folks. I really like it. I need to get a couple of new belts for it. The elusive thing thus far is a chuck key. I had to use an exhaust manifold stud and flat tip screw driver to get the chuck tight since I haven't found a key. If anyone has a tip on where to get one, please let me know. Larry, I look forward to seeing those tools.
