any feedback on your experience?
Feedback on the tools or my experience on restoring razors? Delta makes a good tool. These shopmaster tools are middle of the road and should provide you many years of use as a hobbiest/weekend shop worker. As far as my experience, just look at some of the threads that I have started. I'm no pro, but I manage.
Picked up a sander and a drill press as well off craigslist....both delta $50 each

all that is left is the bench grinder. I am using this stuff exclusively for scale making and blade polishing
I think you're off to a great start! Those are great tools to start off with. I have purchased many tools from craigslist even a few of my lathes and as long as you know what to look for you'll do fine. I've even purchase a 3/4 horse baldor buffer for $75 about two years ago.
Man, looks like you are set to get started. Great finds, now it's time to put them to work!
I am so ready to get going......I have finished two blades so far, only 20 or so to go...LOL
Here is my belt sander craigslist find...all cleaned up with a new set of shoes....
