I have a max which I bought used a few years ago and would like to know where you buy your sandpaper rolls. The machine is great.

Hi guys, I have a Rockwell 34-450 from ’73 which belonged to my father that I am restoring. The locking mechanism for the blade angle wheel does not work, but that for the blade raising/lowering does. How exactly does the lock work? The parts schematic for the machine does not show a collet or other normal means of locking the wheel. Any suggestions? Thanks very much, Cheers.

I was given this lathe, craftsman model no. 103.23070. It does not have its motor and I’d like to know the horse power of the original supplied motor.

If anyone knows how I could find a copy of the owner’s manual for this lathe, please let me know

Thanks Henry shipman

Was wondering if anyone could help me find extension wings and a rip fence with rails for this saw… I just got one of these saw and it is real solid, but has now wings, miter gauge, for rip fence and guide rails for rip fence. Thanks!

Any suggestions on what to look for in purchasing a Delta Unisaw? Some say Delta Rockwell, any difference? Also, horsepower, seems that 1 1/2 and 3 hp are common. At 220v either seems adequate for ripping. I am not a production shop so price is more important than massive power. I’m currently using a 110 contractor’s saw so any 220 machine will be adequate.
