Lee,

It appears that you have the best selection of a fence for my needs - upgraded fence, but the convenience of the quick-change for blades that the S 45 had originally.

Will you please post...

I have an older 1990s Mini Max S 45 band saw that will soon become my major power cutting tool. The factory fence leaves a lot to be desired and I want to upgrade the fence for both normal cutting...

I purchased one of these units two years ago - a yellow one - with Carter guides. I'm well pleased with it.

I appreciate all the suggestions posted here, especially the one about using stock from...

I just scored this little beauty off the auction site. Some might not have heard of it. It had a broken foot that has been professionally welded and replaced. I'm now on the lookout for a replacement...

I scored a small Goodell Pratt 1265 miter box off the auction site recently. It's 12" wide and takes a 16" saw with 2 1/2" under the spline - a saw that I'm having great difficulty finding.

Beautiful work Jim.

Do you make these for sale?

Richard

Does it count with no rust? Well, yes it does. Auger bits are one set of tools that need to be free from rust.

BTW, you did well!


Richard

No pics, didn't happen.

Send me a PM to let me know when you'll be in the Columbus area. I have a nice selection of vintage tools for sale.

Richard

Should you decide on Hock, I have both a blade and chipbreaker, never used, for $65.00 shipped.

I use an older MaxiClamp setup distributed by ShopSmith in the 1980's. The closest new item that I've seen that is similar is sold by Lee Valley....

A lot of us will not part with our LV medium shoulder plane. Order one now while free shipping is on.

Jon,

You need to be a little more specific - deals on hand tools or deals on power tools.

I look for vintage hand tools myself and I've found that the best way in the Columbus area is to follow...

Alan,

I can't help with who might make such a saw, but the box itself is very useful for small items. I have one like it and use it frequently. You're correct on the size of the saw - mine has a...

I made one of these - fills up quickly but a great organizer.

Stan,

Can you buy a toilet bowl cleaner called "The Works" in Japan? I've been using it for several years now to remove rust from old tools. It removes the rust very effectively, but if you don't rinse the...

I have a 6 pt rip saw with a Phoenix Warranted medallion and a strong etch showing that it was bought from Schoedinger & Barr Hardware Co. in Columbus, Ohio. I don't think of it as oddball, but it...

Don't be afraid of something other that Stanley or MF. Just two weeks ago, I picked up a Wards Master Quality that essentially a Stanley 358, then this week, I picked up a vintage Craftsman that is...

There's an antique store at exit 44. I picked up a very nice Disston D8 20" panel saw there a few years ago.

Go west at the exit to the very first place where you can make a left turn, then follow...

Leigh,

Maybe I can help. Several years ago I purchased the wood supply from the estate of a late woodworker who made grandfather clocks. As part of that purchase was a walnut board 2 3/4" thick by...

Original color. I've seen some where the handles were painted yellow, possibly by the owner.

Andrew,

About his time last year, I met several gentlemen in Heritage Square Antique Mall on Brice Road in Columbus. Thay had just left an Ohio Tool Collectors meeting that was held in...

Well,

I saw the early this morning and hesitated. By the time I called, it was sold - BUT - he said that he also had a lathe that he wanted to sell. Now I have a Jet 1014VS for which I recently...

I picked one up cheap off C/L and want to know if anyone can make recommendations on this saw.

Meaningful data:
15 1/2" cutting width
10 1/2" cutting height
1 1/2 HP motor; 110/220V
3 Speed...
