Reply:1939 around that, bearings are common at a bearing store ,clean and paint.
Reply:I just took mine outside and pressure washed all the oil, grease and chips off of mine.  Then blew it off, re-greased and oiled it.  Some brakeclean and a rag or even foaming engine wash with a hose would work if you don't have a pressure washer.

Reply:the neck part/chuck that slides up and down out of the casing/ housing.  noticable side movement would point to being wornLast edited by 123weld; 03-15-2016 at 10:47 PM.
Reply:Spray with oven cleaner and hose it off, let the oven cleaner soak for awhile to eat through the yuk. Oven cleaner is pretty good as a degreaser and is cheap. Industrial oven cleaner is sold at reasturant supply places, it works the best.

Reply:Looks fun.  Might be better than hf, at least at 100 bucks? How do you adjust the table height?   Has it been repaired by brazing?  How low will it spin?  Looks like it could be prone to tipping forward-- bolt it or add longer base.
Reply:I imagine the Chuck is better than any hf Chuck.
Reply:The table has no indication of prior welding. The table has a handle in the back it will adjust right to the chuck. Sent from my SCH-S968C using TapatalkHH 190Uniweld TorchesLincoln 225 ac-sMarquette Starjet torches gauges
Reply:It should be bolted to the floor although if rhe base is turned correctly it is quite stableSent from my SCH-S968C using TapatalkHH 190Uniweld TorchesLincoln 225 ac-sMarquette Starjet torches gauges
