    Delta 14" drill presses

    While I was out looking at a couple of Delta bench top 14 inch drill presses I stumbled across a Southbend 9C lathe. The guy said he intends to sell it but has not listed it yet.

    Yard sale bargains

    Been looking a while for a portable band saw and noticed one that was going to be available at a yard sale this morning. No price was listed and the ad said no early birds. Knowing how these things work I went early anyway. I did not feel bad about it as there were a half dozen other guys...
