Old arn pic thread

[measure once cut remeasure]

Well some more tool porn:

Just finished up this Atlas last week. It really isn't finished as it is still missing a return spring housing, spring and cover. Not the original motor or motor mount. Rustoleum metalic dark bronze, chrome on the dome. The "tinman"

" />

From the begining of the winter in rustoleum hammered grey.

" />

Restoration of grandfathers power king lathe in hammered metalic green.

" />

This came from a good friend. Two tone paint hammered grey on the cast parts and dark machine grey for the stand both rustoleum.

" />

Add another 40-440 to the post. It was my first old arn, first delta tool, and first step down a slippery slope. Rustoleum dark machine grey.

" />

The haviest and largest project is a walker turner radial drill press that is a long ways down the project list. I added a new table and VFD to it and just put it to work.

I almost forgot - thanks for the reminder!

When my dad retired himself from machine WWing this past summer, he gave me all his machines. Part of that was his Foley-Belsaw planer-molder. I don't have any pics, but a trip out onto the Net turned up an image almost exactly like mine.



The badging on the cowl is slightly different, but otherwise it's almost exactly like the one above.

I want to play.

Grandpa's 1948 Delta 1460 now in my garage and awaiting some love.


Grandpas' 4" jointer, also now in my garage and awaiting some love. The fence is present also.

A 1970 Delta 'Plus 10', which is the latest 12" RAS in it's earliest incarnation. Earliest in that the castings are identical, or almost identical, to what was offered new until just recently, though Delta made similar machines long before the 70's. The motor was originally the rounded type with the manual brake, then a PO retrofitted it with a new carriage and next generation motor (rectangular cast aluminium) and guard, which was a Delta kit some decades ago, and now it has the latest generation extruded aluminium motor (upped to 2 hp from 1.5 hp), which fits the middle-generation carriage and guard. But it doesn't have the track rods of the slightly newer ones, which isn't good as the ground ways are a bit worn and uneven.



A 1944 Delta 1460 wood lathe, which my grand-pappy brought home from the war plant he worked in. I've had it since I was a kid. The pic shows a 1200 rpm motor on a hinged plate, but I've since installed a 1 hp with VFD, which is a giant improvement. No restoration, though - I put most of the stains and scars on it myself, and it's just fine as it is. I replaced the original v-belt only a few years ago, as it was coming apart. Motor is now on a resilient mount instead of a hinged plate, which helps vibration as the motor doesn't bounce.



I also have a small 1940's wood shaper that I restored, and my grandfather's 1940's Craftsman BS, and my Dad's 10" Gumby-head Homecraft on a welded flare leg stand, like the ones above. And some other old machines. Actually, everything I own would be considered vintage at this point, except for my '96 Unisaw, and that's only because I couldn't find a decent used one when I was in the market.

Here is a drill press I noticed recently on CL. The seller said it works and the only thing he is aware of that is missing is the belt guard. I am thinking about going to look at this. Any ideas on things to check or I should know about this one? Is the price reasonable?
