steven newman Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 Kind of overflowing right now.. Underneath? Makita Sawzall I picked last year for $10. Black case below that? Is a tool box FULL of wrenches and sockets. Craig is supposed to be using that one. Taped up Makita needs need batteries...that WILL hold a charge longer than 10 minutes. The other is almost as bad. Rest of the toys? Mat need to do an inventory first..... Need to find a spot for the latest rust hunt item... $20..after I talked it down by $5. Emerson made, No. 113.226423. I now need to buy a sanding belt for it, and a disc or three....might find some use for this.....maybe. Grandpadave52 1 Quote
lew Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 I got one of those "long" Makita's, too. It was a work horse in its' day. steven newman 1 Quote
Bundoman Posted October 1, 2016 Report Posted October 1, 2016 Hate to admit it but my entire workbench bears similarity to that tray! If you are like me, you may find something in there that you forgot you had! Like getting to pick all over again! steven newman 1 Quote

I'm sure you'll find some good uses for it even if it does have a cord. I gave $35 at a yard sale 5 years ago for almost identical one just a bit newer model. I've been using Harbor Freight belts and PSA discs. Haven't had an issue with either. I stumbled on to a second table at a flea market for $3 a couple of years ago so never have to change table location. Found a couple extra miter gauges too at a buck each.

kmealy Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 I have old Delta that looks a lot like that sander. Made lots of Shaker oval boxes with it and taught a few classes on same. steven newman 1 Quote
steven newman Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Posted October 2, 2016 Ok, tote can wait a few.. I did find a pdf instruction booklet, IF 24 pages can be called that....and found out all I could about the sander. Had to replace a couple bolts, and added a bolt. Currently have the belt sander half standing in the vertical. replaced one bolt, as the knob was getting bad. Added a new bolt, so I could install the table to the belt sander. Idler roller was a bit squeaky....3in1 oil to fix that. Tracking bolt needed a bit of oil on the threads. Replaced the washer on that bolt. 4 x 36" belt? Sounds like a trip to H-F is in order. 6" PSA sanding discs...same place. Once the belts and discs arrive, we'll see how this works......happened to already have a mitre gauge that fits. It seems to fit a couple other machines as well.... About needs it's own tool box, just to stay working. Might wind up being worth the $20? lew and Grandpadave52 2 Quote

Found another motor and got it done anyway. steven newman 1 Quote

It's just a matter of time...get your belts & discs, get them on, machine running...find many uses for it...then slowly the corded tools start to creep in...Oh not all at one, but one by one, a jointer from this yard sale, a bench-top planer from a garage sale, a biscuit cutter here, one or two or half dozen routers, then a router table or two, and the next thing you know there it is in the midst of everything a table saw...there is no therapy in the world that can save you now!

steven newman Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Posted October 3, 2016 Well, there is a second bandsaw down in the shop, reserved mainly for doing curved work. Doesn't get used all that much. However, it IS sitting on a stand. Plan now is to semi-retire the old three-wheeler, and use the stand for the "new" sander. Might set the bandsaw out on theend of the lathe bench. Might be just enough room there. That tool tote will more or less stay upstairs. I can keep a ready-use supply of tools, where I don't HAVE to stagger down the stairs to the Dungeon Shop. Power tools IN the shop? 2 bandsaws 2 circular saws 1 router table with a router, and 1 router floating around on the loose 1 lathe, 1 scrollsaw, 1 drill Press, 1 grinder, 1 @1" x 30" beltsander My Mitresaw is a "cordless" model. 1 by Stanley ( No. 358) and one by GEM. The sale where I picked the new sander did have a job site 10" Table saw......$50 was not in the budget. Dungeon Shop would about have to double in size, before I could get any large power toys...er..TOOLS down there.. Grandpadave52 1 Quote
