Desopolis Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) So some $$$ headed my way after moving to my house.. Im starting to setup my shop and move my roommates junk out of the garage into the attic. (we got the house so I could have the shop) Garage is linked to central air, insulated for AC and sound and has a window unit... anyway, I went on craigslist and found a older gentleman who has been building rocking horses and smaller stuff.. But he had a decent shop.. Anyway, something happened 6-months ago with his shoulder so he decided to stop.. Got a Band Saw, Table Saw, Drill Press, Jointer, and palm sander. Only a few years old... Closed base 1HP 14" Jet(blue) band saw. 15"x15" steel base. Decent size craftsman table saw, router table attachment and a decent fence 12" Delta Benchtop drill Clraftsman 6" benchtop jointer. not too many power tools to buy, alot of my stuff is still in Indianapolis..

killemall8 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 good stuff. i like delta and jet. make sure you wipe down the rust on that jointer with some wd 40 and some steel wool before you use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desopolis Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 good stuff. i like delta and jet. make sure you wipe down the rust on that jointer with some wd 40 and some steel wool before you use it. yeah I was wondering about that, same with some of the stains on the other stuff.. im curious though if I rub it could I throw off the level surface and make a low spot? Maybe I'm over analyzing.. and it all started just trying to find a decent bandsaw, and I couldn't let it all go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick500 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Once you've gotten the rust off of things, look into this stuff. It's made by Boeing. I bought a tiny squeeze bottle of it at Woodcraft and won't be without it again. [Edit: I checked it out before I used it--it has no silicone or Teflon.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Sorbera Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 If you can't get rid of it with WD-40 I highly recommend getting this product form woodcraft called topsaver. I used it on an old table saw and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 There's a really cool way of removing rust with a car battery charger. Look it up. Even Frank Ford took the rust off a whole cast-iron table saw top using this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
