Posting here because I don't think Fred spends time in the basement. Mods/Admins feel free to move as appropriate.
Anyways, prayers for Fred, his wife and others in the Wapakoneta OH area. A major tornado struck there yesterday. Attempts to contact Fred by text, phone so far today and through another forum have yielded no reply. I'm hoping it's only a power, phoneline, or cell phone tower outage as a result of the storm. However, it appears Fred was 1/2 mile or maybe less from the center of the tornado. I saw a storm chaser video on YouTube last night following the storm. Scary.

I had the privilege to attend a meet and greet day hosted by Fred at his shop a few years back. Also met his wife. Great, hospitable people.

Vacuum Pump |

I think I am interested in a vacuum pump for my Powermatic lathe.
I know of the advantages and that's about it. Oh, and continuous run pumps are better. Where do I get good information? Obviously building your own saves $$$. Do the pumps with the "vacuum pots" work for lathes? As you can see, I have lots of questions.

Laying tile |

The house is getting resided. Project creep necessitated that the 42” wide by 30” deep entry be redone too. After I broke out the 3” of concrete (I thought it was only going to be 1/2”! I kept moving up in hammer size.) I put in 3/4” ply down to level and then the 1st layer of Hardybacker.
I noticed that the floor tips back toward the house ever so slightly when we got a hard rain last week. I’d like to correct that before covering everything up and forgetting about it until something exciting happens.
Gutters will soon be installed and that will effectively increase the overhang by 5-6” so it might not be an issue, but water being pushed back at the house is bad practice.
I will be laying another layer of Hardie down to cover a piece of trim I forgot about when I put the first layer down. Should I fix the slope with some thin set before I put the new Hardie down, or should I put the Hardie directly down on the old one, then add more thin set (thicker in back, thinner in front) under the tiles themselves?
All my previous tile work has been inside and I didn’t care if there was a little pitch to the tiles.

FS: Delta 14” Drill Press Parts |

I ended up with a DP 220 Delta drill press head (serial # 17-9362 year 1942) with a broken spindle pulley, no motor (I robbed it for another press), no depth stop and it didn’t fit the column I had. So a decision has been made to part it out. All prices are before shipping - most of the items are pretty small/light so shipping should not be outrageous. Some of the items are logical groups of parts that I would like to sell as one unit (an example is the motor mounting plate and hardware) - however let me no if you are interested in individual Items (for example the motor mounting plate hardware). If things are not selling in a few weeks I would be inclined ton split them up.
Due to inexperience I may be out of line on pricing for some items so - ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE – I am motivated to not put the items back on a shelf. Of course, bigger discounts for multiple items. I can also assist with delivery within a reasonable distance of Winston Salem, NC
Picture 1
A - Motor mounting plate and hardware - $12
Picture 2
B – Safety Collar - $15 SOLD
C – Head Lock - $15 SOLD
D - Quill Lock - $5
E – Switch on Head - $10
F – Slow Speed Pulley Bearing Retainer Plate and Screws - $5
G – Slow speed Spindle Pulley Sleeve and Cover - $25
Picture 3
J – Quill/Bearing Retainer Nuts/ Upper Spindle collar - $50
Picture 4
H – Pinion/Handle/Thumb Screw/Return Spring - $25
Picture 5
K – Spindle with Jacobs 6A 33 Taper Chuck (can’t get chuck off spindle – try your luck) - $30
Picture 6
L – WT Return Spring – Pinion hole on spring broke – case is good) - $5
M – Delta Return Spring – pinion end of spring bent – case is good - $5
I also have the head, table, table bracket, base and column (have not got the column out of the base yet) – didn’t think there would be much interest but let me know if you have a desire for them.
Thanks for looking
Rick
