Search Ebay completed listings for comparables. Nobody can answer a question like that without seeing the plane in person, then factoring in their own ideas of value.

The only way to know for sure is to measure the spindle diameter and threads per inch. Lots of parts for these on Ebay.

The key word in my post that you obviously missed was "mostly".
It seems like you do closely watch my postings - not ignore them. You always have a quick come back.
Seeing as how I'm out on...

Decent beam boring machines bring $200. and up on Ebay. :rolleyes:

I suppose you passed on the beam boring machines because they went too high - say $6. each? :rolleyes:

Brake cleaner has solvents in it you don't want to breathe or get on your skin. A better way is to wash the lemon juice off with water, then dry with compressed air.

Auctioneers take huge commissions on small item sales. Do you mean to tell us nobody in your family can agreeably handle the simple task of selling these things to the rest of the family?

For me, just the fact that it comes from HF would been enough to keep me from buying it.

Does it actually have nickers (scribes) on each end?

Radial arm saws are on CL all the time, and can be as cheap as free. I got rid of mine years ago when the yellow Dewalt 12" mitre saws came out and never looked back.

Gee whiz, thanks, but I don't buy bottom feeder type tools. ;)
I did buy a nice top of the line Swan drawknife with folding & swivelling handles for $50.

Lathe time is worth ~$100. an hour, and that's not a 5 minute job. Then, you still have the wear on the gears, etc. to deal with. Is that cost effective?

It sounds like you're obsessed with saving time if you're using a phone or tablet to print something while you're driving just to avoid waiting a couple of minutes to print it after you get home....

Or, you could spend a little more money and get something that you will enjoy using and will last for a long time. I see older Delta 6" jointers for $150.- $200. around here.
That 1 star rated HD...

Is there a doctor in the house? I think Newman MAY have pulled something by constantly patting himself on the back. :rolleyes:

This looks like it's going to be a slow project. 4 days just to find out it's filled with plaster instead of lead. :rolleyes:

The moderators should close this. It has nothing to do with Neanderthal Haven.

There is no easy or cost effective way to repair that shaft. Yankee 1555s are fairly common. I would just find a better one.

What difference would it make if it was babbitt?

Seems like you're way overthinking the issue with the pits. I don't think there is a plane out there that is worth the effort to fill pitting with some type of welding. There is also no way you...

Larry has the answer. Just look carefully at the gibbs, and you should be able to see how they were assembled before. Then, it's just a matter of adjusting the screws for proper tightness of the...

I think a price fishing forum would be a waste of time. It's actually the lazy way to have somebody else do the research for you. Go to Ebay completed listing for comparables, and that will cover...

I sell on CL and will hold things for a buyer until a designated time. None of that "first person here with the cash gets it" BS. Frequently I'm an hour or more away from the item, and won't make...

It's either a typo or he's a complete idiot.

That works for me. I haven't been clean shaven for close to 50 years.
