I picked up a craftsman pully and this odd thing I cant find a brand on.
Anyone know any info on the one with the drill chuck and wire brush on it. Looks sorta like a whole made contraption to me. The large disk end spins. Maybe for a sanding disk or something
He had a die filer with no name or motor for 36$ I offered 25 and he said he wouldnt take it and would take 32 and I didnt know enough on it to say yes so I settled for these. Got em both for five bucks.

Those both look like arbor mandrels or bench mandrels to me. The craftsman one may be an addition to an older machine they had sold at one time.
The one with the flat disk and wire brush is awesome. I would set it up and use it in my shop if I had it! It's a nice size so as not to take up too much room on the bench.
Good scores, Neil!!

I agree with nice scores for 5 bucks! Can you post some more pictures of the grey tool? I cannot figure out those 4 studs that appear to be smooth, or not threaded in the picture? And what is on the end opposite the pulley end?

I will do as soon as I get my camra back, somones borowing it for a few days.
About all I know is its some sort of pully. Theres a bolt thread on the other end of it.

Looks like a bargain to me. I like the one with the drill chuck. A new wire wheel, a brass wire wheel that goes in the drill and a buffing pad on the disk and you have a compact rust remover.
The craftsman one may be missing a piece on the bolt end. There should be 2 disks to hold a wire wheel or grindstone. I can only see 1.

The Sears is a saw arbor. For building your own saw. They sold these for many years.
The great part is, they are ball bearing mandrels with a goodly distance between pulley and arbor so if you mount a grinding or buffing wheel instead, you have more room to maneuver.
The second item is a jewelers buffing head. It has a sanding disk mounted on one side.
So many companies made these exactly the same you will probably never know who made it.
The jewelers heads are mostly for small work. See how little room to maneuver there is between wheels?
But still they are terribly useful. Many things have small parts that need attention.
These arbors have oil lite bushings. You can press out the old and press in new. Every auto parts house used to stock these bushings. But lately so few people are willing or able to open up and repair a starter or a generator/alternator that the old stock bushings are disappearing.
Mcmaster still has them though. About $1.22 apiece.

I just am baffled how a sanding disk would attach considering its smooth an has nothing to atach to. Anyone know how it would atach?

Adhesive, made just for that purpose, designed to not make too much of a bond, so you can peel it off when the sand paper wears out.
When you get *really* lazy, you buy your sandpaper pre-sticky:http://3mcollision.com/products/abrasives/discs?aad_attachment_method=161

I have shoelaces older than velcro sandpaper!
I only got my first of it, recently.
But I have some partial rolls of sticky back paper and a can of spray glue for mounting non-sticky back and little cone shaped arbors for mounting paper with no glue at all.

Thanks, I can see how it was inteded to work now. You need to russel up a framed 1/2 hp motor now, and you will have a sander/wire wheel/buffer etc. now.
