ri702bill 10,157 #2 Posted 16 hours ago (edited) Decent they are...Rockwell is a good name. I have a 12" HFT tabletop disc sander and love it. It uses the PSA discs - a 3 pack assortment is short money. Great for wood and metal. Nice drill press - the on-the-fly spindle infinite speed adjustment is so superior to the PITA stepped pulley system. Do NOT adjust it in the OFF position.... Dual pedestal grinder is nice - and it has the dipping pan too. Edited 16 hours ago by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 8,988 #3 Posted 14 hours ago Hit the auctions myself, I like the online soft close biding. I did find out tho some will let you bid on your own stuff and that seems hoaky. I have got some buys. and not to often paid a little more than i wanted to. I got stung a couple times running her up, lol it's only money. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 2,377 #4 Posted 14 hours ago Love the drill press and grinder. Put them all on wheeled stands for easy movement around the shop if needed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSraj 555 #5 Posted 14 hours ago Nice acquisitions. Don’t neglect to hook up that belt and disc machine to a dust collection system. They are great but boy do they make airborne dust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drill press has a constant place. The one I have now was my grandfather's. OK for rough work but it wobbles. This Rockwell should be much more precise. The sander..... Likely a roller.
