Hi gang,
Well I think I'm finally on the cusp of moving. I have an application in with a house rental agency and we have rented a 10'x20' storage space.
The shop IS going into storage until we sell out in Candler and find a place to buy around Rutherfordton.
My dilemma is this:
I have an old Delta Rockwell TS/joiner similar to this one. I also have the companion disc sander, and, thanks to Peter Slamp, I now have the companion DP.
In short, the combo machine needs a lot more patience and TLC than I want to mess with. I recently replaced the TS arbor bearings and now have a couple of feet of runout that I can't seem to get rid of. The sander and DP would both need major cleanup. Plus, I'm tired of compensating for using undersized/underpowered equipment. Since I'm moving, I'm tempted to get rid of it and start over with newer equipment when I have a new shop, but it will probably be a LONG time before I could replace everything.
So what would YOU do?
Thanks.
