In this neck o' the woods, they typically go for around $750, plus or minus depending on condition and extras included. I'd say that given the lack of a mobile base or extra knives, shoot for the...

You should be able to find knives with either configuration or, as mentioned, have a set custom made. Plenty of companies that will do that for you...
The DJ-15 is a parallelagram setup, basically a smaller version of the DJ-20. Each corner of the table is adjustable by rotating the cam on the pivot arms. Chances are there are 2 set screws...
This probably won't help, but here 'tis anyway: I don't know if you'll find any router bits that meet your criteria, but I do know that Freud, and maybe others, make some shaper cutters designed for...
When I bought my MM-20, I sold the 14" Jet bandsaw that I had, figuring I wouldn't need it any longer. I then discovered, much like your seller, that the big MM doesn't do well with small blades and...
I have to agree that the smaller machines are likely to be limited - too little power and tables are too small. The 3hp, 3/4" spindle minimum is a good place to start - pretty much any of the...
Try calling Jim Austin at Holly Wood Equipment (in Holly, Michigan), he has an amazing inventory of parts for old equipment. He's kinda hard to get ahold of, but a good source for things like this. ...
That's electricians being too lazy to push the wires to the back of the box. I've been on both sides of that problem - the cutout tools work fine as long as sparky does his job AND the drywaller...
Gregory, I've been kinda shopping for the same - please post an update with your impressions of the Laguna when you can. I'd shied away from it because of the bad comments I'd heard, but perhaps...
That used to be true, but since Delta was aquired by Black & Darker, they have started to discontinue many parts for older tools. Used to be you could get just about anything, but I wouldn't count...
Yep Matt, it's the same as the one I finished up last month. While I'm a big believer in the "no such thing as too much power" theory, the 3/4hp motor is pretty standard for those lathes and likely...
Matt, that's a darned good deal - the swing arm on the banjo alone is worth $75-$100. RE: the gap - Delta made a filler piece that bolted in and eliminated the gap. I've yet to see one for sale,...
All you Chicago-area folks - I have to make a road trip next Saturday from Ann Arbor to Fond du Lac, WI. Obviously, this will take me thru the Chicago area mid-day on Saturday, and again later that...
Steve, lots of good ideas, but I'd skip the NOS...I don't really think that qualifies as 'variable speed'!
Jason, here's one place to watch for an Oliver:

Hot dawg, it's lookin better already! You gonna have your buddy check out the motor while you're at it? That and a little paint and it'll be worth 3 times what you paid! Lookin good, keep us up to...
Steve, don't know where you are located, but...if you're determined to buy a duplicator, I have a nice Delta unit that I'd sell to you very reasonably! Don't know the model # off the top of my head,...
Phil, I bought a Teco Westinghouse VFD from FactoryMation in Georgia (Factorymation.com, 800-972-0436) There are many sources and many manufacturers out there, can't say if one is any better than...
Phil, I just finished 'restoring' an old Delta and added a VFD to it. I stole Oneway's idea and added remote controls for the VFD on a stalk above the headstock. I'd never worked with a VFD before,...
Christian, you beat me to it! IIRC, that promotion runs thru 12/31. Looks like a good deal to me!
By the way, I bought a Panasonic 12v impact driver a couple of months ago....simply unbeatable...
