Progress has been slow on the drill because, well, life. I did notice the spindle had a little ridge on the bottom edge of it. I filed that down, polished it up and reinstalled the chuck. Runs smooth as a top. I got it re-wired and added a fused switch to protect the motor. The only thing left is a new stepped pulley. That’s supposed to be on it’s way.
I’ve also picked up a couple of old Craftsman middle boxes for extra tool storage.
and I love these old card catalog type cabinets. I’ve found five of them recently. Using a couple on my reloading bench and a couple here.
Also have found a couple really nice old grinders. This Foley Belsaw unit was originally for sharpening circular saws. I just cleaned it up and I have it setup with a fine and course grinding wheel.
And just today I ran across this new project. It’s getting a cleanup and paint job. This Baldor is gonna replace a cheap Chinese unit for wire brushing and course polishing.
