Will the combinations you suggest cover everything? Will anything be missing? Would I need to buy certain things separately? For example I really like the first one but if I buy that, I will also need to buy either one of the kits that have a flat head screwdriver OR I would need to buy a flat head screwdriver separately, right? I don't believe this first kit has that screwdriver, am I correct?

I might be posting in the wrong group but i will give it a try, i was emptying up my flooded basement and there were a lot of stuff of my deceased father in there, i just found this contraption and have never seen anything like it in my life, can anyone help me identify this? there was a sticker on it but it disintegrated the moment i touched it . This contraption was enclosed in a box with the only part being exposed the square thingy over the round thingy.
Hey guys, I am going to restore and upgrade an old bench drill from the GDR as an apprentice project. As part of the project I need to document my work. I thought I could post my progress here as some kind of little diary. Would anyone here be interested in that?
I picked up an old Craftsman Parks 12" planer a while back, mostly restored it, went to dial it in and have run into a few problems leading me to disassemble it again, this time following this guide (that I found after I'd already reassembled it the first time.
Does anyone know where to find a replacement infeed roller? Mine is worn out, doesn't feed the wood. I've reached out to DC Morrison (came up in a few forum posts I saw on this topic), probably won't get a response until Monday at the earliest. Hoping one of y'all has a source. If not, I'll reach out to a few local machine shops and compare prices with DC Morrison when they get back to me.
How tf do you remove the outfeed roller from the gear box? I got the infeed roller and cutterhead loose no problem and just removed the gearbox with the outfeed roller still in place. I removed the throwout sleeve, removed all the set screws, and the big 88 tooth gear (A-6) will not budge. I've tried prying on it with a prybar, putting the gearbox in a vise and smacking the end of the outfeed roller shaft with a rubber mallet, no luck. I'm hesitant to apply too much force and damage the aluminum gearbox or break a gear. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi everyone,
A short while ago another user here inquired about the state of the early '60s South Bend 9A lathe that I teased here a long time ago.
Keeping things brief, I was forced to shelve the project shortly after my initial post following some major life events, and I was not satisfied with the outcome enough to make another post about it.
But I was reminded that I left everyone on a bit of a cliffhanger. So not wanting to be that guy, despite being somewhat of a perfectionist, I will stifle my pride and share a photo of the lathe in its current state, in storage.
I will be moving into a new place hopefully in the next couple of months, and if everything goes to plan, I'll be able to set up my shop by the end of summer.
Apologies for the long wait and somewhat anticlimactic outcome. As soon as possible, I will be back with a true "after" shot of the machine set up and running, but I hope this will suffice for the time being.
Cheers!
