Popular Post Steve Krumanaker Posted October 12, 2016 Popular Post Report Posted October 12, 2016 Fresh off the truck and in my shop! Just a quick check to make all is there, appears to be new. Probably about as far as I'll go with it for a few days, in fact for the next week or so it will be in the way more than anything. Not sure where I'm going to put it just yet. Maybe in the garage up at the house. It might be nice in the summer to just turn in the driveway. On top of the great price, with prime it was two day shipping no charge. Incidentally, current price on Amazon is $588.00, unbelievable. Steve HandyDan, Grandpadave52, Chips N Dust and 2 others 5 Quote

Chips N Dust Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Great Job on getting the low price AND free shipping! Charles Nicholls and Steve Krumanaker 2 Quote
Charles Nicholls Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 For me, Prime has been well worth the money saved in shipping costs already. That looks like the same lathe that Carl Jacobson had before he upgraded to a Robust. Who knows, he might even still have the Delta Steve Krumanaker and Chips N Dust 2 Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Well congrats there Steve. Always nice when the "new one" arrives home safe & secure. Mount it on one of these and you can move it from place to place,,, Charles Nicholls, Chips N Dust and Steve Krumanaker 3 Quote
Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 I'm looking forward to seeing it setup and in action. I'm pretty sure I'll regret not jumping on the deal when I read your review. Congrats, BTW! Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote

Steve Should work well for that...doesn't have to be DW...just something similar that could be adapted and robust enough to minimize vibration yet wouldn't take the Incredible Hulk to maneuver.

Charles Nicholls Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 It's not quite as nice as yours, but this arrived here today. I have been wanting needing one for a few years, and now had an excuse to buy one. Dremel 4000, with some attachments. The 4000 was washed out by the flash I had a fake one a few years ago but never did like it, I did keep the attachments to it though. Chips N Dust, HandyDan and Grandpadave52 3 Quote

Been kind of considering this but I don't see a good way to make it mobile. Still, I like the wide stance of it a lot.

I remember his kids got it for him, either for Christmas or his birthday, not sure. I believe he sold it when he got his PM 4224B, which he sold when he got his Robust American Beauty, I am quite possibly envious. Steve Charles Nicholls 1 Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 Something like this might work...Studio Caster Wheels if you could match socket ID to leg OD...not sure how they would track/endure gravel... Another option might be drill holes in (2) legs, use push mower wheel bolts and use (2) wheel assy/leg (one inside/ one outside) just typing out loud. Charles Nicholls and Steve Krumanaker 2 Quote

Sweet Charles...use my Dremel (& the Craftsman clone) all the time for tool refurbs, some sharpening & "carving". Very handy to have around...you'll find uses for it all the time.

Yea I am all the time working with wormy wood, so having a way to reem out all those holes in short order is a good thing. sharpening is also a great use for it I'm sure it will pay for itself quickly.

Mount it on one of these and you can move it from place to place,,, I would go with this one if it is sturdy enough. Looks like it folds down like a dolly and could be leaned against the tailgate to then lift the other end and into the truck. The extensions would be nice to fashion some tool holders to.

Charles, if you're cleaning out worm holes a lot I have a video that might be interesting to you. Steve lew and Charles Nicholls 2 Quote

Steve Now that's cool. Unfortunately, I don't have an air compressor and they are more expensive and take up way more room I did see the original video from Capt. Eddie on baking soda blasting drill bits. Steve Krumanaker 1 Quote
