Thank you

You are correct, the key for the rotor was 3/16” not ¼”. As for the blades, I have read through the manual several times and do not see any specified measurement for the blades to project. I did see this on page 4, 3rd paragraph: “All three blades should project 1/16 inch at right side of cutter head. (See Figure 3).” Could you please tell me where the .003” projection above the rear table is stated?

@@JeffsShop The 1/16” from the side of the cutter head is for rabbiting. With the newer 6-1/8” blades this gives 1/16” of knife edge on both sides of the cutterhead. The .003” above outfeed table is from the 9-2647 Craftsman jointer knife setting gauge instruction manual.

@@toolguybak Perfect, thank you for the clarification.

Congratulations, I have been looking for another 2 wheel BS with the pedestal stand to do a series on. I rebuilt my 2 wheel before I started my YT channel. Good luck on the rebuild.

thank you

Congrats on the Float lock, I love mine

Thank you, and you also have a great weekend.

Congratulations on the drill press. The Quill Bearings are 6202 5/8 bore. The measurements are 5/8” bore x 35mm OD x 11mm tall. The 6202 comes standard with a 17mm bore so make sure you get the 5/8 bore. The Spindle (for the spindle pulley assembly) are 6205 bearings measuring 25mm bore x 52mm OD x 15mm tall. Everything you could every want to know about your drill press can be found in this thread on the Garage Journal forum www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/craftsman-drill-press-information-belts-bearings-chucks-keys-etc-1946-1984.489080/ Also here is a link to your owner’s manual: www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/craftsman-drill-press-information-belts-bearings-chucks-keys-etc-1946-1984.489080/

@@JeffsShopthank you!!!

@@ccarlson1264 no problem, and thank you for watching.

That would depend on which model and if the foot print is the same. without having the band saw and/ or measurements of the foot print I can not tell you for sure, however, one would assume that if the foot print is close, then you could possibly fabricate a spacer plate to adjust for the discrepancy. IF by later model you still mean a King Seely or Emerson 3 wheel band saw that is not a direct drive then I expect they have the same footprint. Once you get to the later plastic cased models there is likely a different footprint.

I never knew that and assumed they were some additional insulation. Thank you for the information, I will make sure to mention this in future rebuilds when talking about the paper washers.

Thank you

they are rare but about 50% of the time I find a stand it has them on it. I have purchased boxes of new and never used casers off ebay when I see them.

@@JeffsShop good stuff! Can’t have too many of these casters! They are just bulletproof

Congratulations on the parts. you may be able to get an Acme threaded rod from McMaster Carr. Not sure about the exact thread pitch. The handle will be the harder part to come across. If you come up with a rod, perhaps you can fabricate a handle until you locate an original one. Not sure what part of the country you are in but they seem to be more common out west. Possibly look on FB marketplace and someone may be selling some parts.

@@JeffsShop yeah I am in California where finding these are next to nothing. A gentleman on eBay had these listed and he was located in Illinois. It was on an atlas machine with the foot feed brackets, believe the lead scre, handles were removed as they were not needed and was easier than removing the collars out! I asked if he would part out those pieces and he agreed. Wasn’t cheap, I paid good $$ to get them. Will keep an eye out for sure. A have a few handwheels that I can use but they are smaller in diameter. The original is 4.5” long. Will see if my smaller handwheels provide enough torque and turn the gears. Lead screw is a 3/4-8 acme (1/8” rise per turn.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you. I do not take any money for anything related to my You tube Channel. It would be nice to make some money but to be honest I do not want to deal with anything like scammers or pushing products I do not believe in. Don't worry, this channel will continue as long as am physically capable of making videos for it. At some point I may slow down, only because kicking a video out each week while still working full time gets tough at times but I do not see my channel changing anytime in the future. Thanks again for the support and just know I make all these for yall and enjoy doing it.

@@JeffsShop Thank you for letting me know and the quick reply! I do not generally subscribe to YT channels but after watching the first video a couple weeks ago I knew I would be coming back frequently which I have been, of course I am subscribed. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

@@brianelkins1954 thank you

Thank you

Nice observation. I believe the previous owner fabricated that key but it does look like a high profile key. I will be replacing it with a #9 or ANSI 606 key. I am guessing that is what the previous owner had on hand at the time. Rather than ordering a pack from McMaster I got this one from Amazon a.co/d/06jTd7KZ

@@JeffsShop that’s the one I am ordering as well. Yesterday the pulley flew off mine, and no pieces of the previous key could be found. Weird because I never took it off when I cleaned mine up. Wanted to make sure before I ordered that the high profile one isn’t required…

@@victortinajero5543 no worries, I often see modifications that the previous owner did to machines I work on. You should see the crazy mods a previous owner did to my 10" table saw. I have spent the past few years trying to source the original parts but I eventually got it mostly back to spec.

Welcome and thank you.

Thank you, not my idea but works well and easy to set up.

Thank you

Thank you and yes there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you, I will be doing a shop tour video shortly and will talk about the paint booth then.

ok, thank you. I will look at mine and see if that is the issue but I am confident my winding is shorted based on my ohm readings.

Thank you, unfortunately I still dont have the grinder running. If you watch the entire series you will see that I damaged one fot he windings at some point. If you are careful to not repeat my mistake, the rest of the series should help you out. Good luck on your rebuild.

I have not done a video about the paint booth. I kind of hobbled that thing together but it does have an exhaust fan. I will be doing a shop walkthrough video after this series and I can show more detail about it and make some suggestions in that video. The exhaust fan I use is a 12" inline exhaust fan with ducting hose. I got it at harbor freight but I think they only sell the 8" version now and I had it before I upgraded to the 12". I do not believe the 8" is sufficient. I would get this one from Amazon. a.co/d/9DpC7vh

Depending on the motor, your best option may be to ohm the lead wires. Do a search on YT for how to ohm a motor. Head over to the Garage Journal Forum, create a free account and post some pics and the motor information and someone should be able to get you sorted out.

Thank you, trying to eyeball that curve would have been an exercise in futility. Tracing paper makes it simple.

snag that wood lathe. You dont see the pedestals for the lathes very often. If the price is right, I would grab both.

Thank you

I rebuild all the classic craftsman tools on pedestal bases made by King Seeley from the 1940s through the 1980s. There were only two Jointers that meet these specifications, a 4” and a 6”. I am rebuilding the 6”. As for planers, there was only one 6” that met these requirements, the alien planer and I am still looking for one on a pedestal. Lastly, I just like rebuilding these classic tools.

Barring a sentimental reason, somefolks dont need all that excess. You can Flatten a much larger piece than the capacity. Not to mention jointing in of Itself this 6" will do most anything most will ever need. We have become far to comfortable with the excess we are afforded, we end up forgetting the wonderful pieces we previously depended on that worked perfectly fine.

@@JeffsShopthere’s a planer for sale now on FB marketplace in Decatur TN.

Fantastic, I am glad the videos were helpful and you got another drill press up and running.

Yes and no. These sardine can capacitors are no longer made. One option is to source another same model motor with a working capacitor and cannibalize it then sell the motor for parts. Another option is to determine the capacitance and chain several smaller new capacitors together then fabricate a spacer plate that extends the base by 1/2 to 1". This has been done several times by members on the garage journal forum. Here is a thread when on the second page they discuss it. www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/the-vintage-craftsman-gp-motor-thread.484126/

Thank you.

Yep, I almost always soak the rotor in simple green and citric acid. Evaporust should be fine as well.

Congrats on the Gen 4. I see the table lifts pop up on ebay but they are not cheap.

They pop up on ebay from time to time.

Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching

Cast Iron is difficult to weld and then there is the issue of surfacing the table portion. If it were me, I would find a donor machine and cannibalize it for what you need then sell off the remaining parts on ebay or locally on marketplace. Finding the exact replacement part will be difficult, that is why I recommend you locate a donor.

@@JeffsShop Awesome. That’s what I was thinking would be best. I’ll keep a lookout. Unfortunately the only ones I have found on eBay are for the 4 3/8 inch jointer. If you happen to know of one, feel free to let me know! 😬 By the way, love all of your restoration series!!

@@seanlloyd4633 If you are not already looking, use Facebook Marketplace. I see 6" Jointers selling all the time. You should be able to locate the same model as yours in no time.

I have on but I do not know when I will get to rebuilding it. thanks for watching.

I am glad you found the video and enjoyed it. Palmgren makes some outstanding products.

@@JeffsShop We greatly appreciate that

Thank you.

It is perplexing to understand the mystery behind the Pressmate. It is unclear who actually made the components and when they first starting making them. Many of the tools built before the 1960s used ZAMAK and aluminum eventually took over as the primary allow sometime in the 60s. So without know more about the history of the Pressmate its hard to say they cheeped out, when it may have been the only option at the time. Regardless, it is a cool accessory and does what it does at a fraction of the cost of the Atlas head and table lift.

@@JeffsShop true, zamia was the norm for everything back then. pulleys, gears, covers etc. I just dont like it! on a beautiful machine, it just makes it look cheap. I know it works but the look is not there. even after polishing it dulls to a grey. I have a Walker turner 900 floor model drill press which I am slowly hopping up. I love your video on the atlas raising mechanism. that can be used on the WT with no issues and I prefer its beefier design! I have a raising mechanism on mine. the pulleys are zamac as well and hope to change those out for cast iron or steel machined ones. these old machines are a joy to use and restore. again thanks for your detailed vids, very inspirational and helpful!
