Restoration tools


[Follow Ups] [Post Followup] [Dodge Power Wagon Forum]

Hi folks,

I'm asking around on our old Dodge truck and Power Wagon forums to get opinions on older tools for restorations.

I will be buying some used machine tools in the next few months. I feel that I can get far better quality with some of the older major name brands than from the current [made in where? Can you spell that...] offerings.

One important item will be an industrial quality drill press, so I'll use that as an example. I may be going back as far as the '60's or [?] in order to get the good old 'Made in USA' quality, so in your experience with the older machines, what brands would you suggest for top notch quality, regardless of parts availability?

In particular, which of the brands might offer the best present day parts support or availability?

If possible, please post any suggestions on where to source parts on older industrial tools as well.

Thanks,
JimmieD
