Is there a term for the 60 seconds between 24:00 and 00:01?

The term "safety switch" seams vague to me. Do mean an E-stop? Or a switch that has magnetic contacts that would prevent the machine from restarting after a power interruption?

That last one is a stash canister ......right?

How big is the scratch? Could a auto glass shop be any help, maybe buff it out?

Any chance your planer isn't set with the cutter head level to the table? You could be planing a taper across the width of the board.

Both very nicely done. I hope the box is for your collection of Testors paint though.

Well here it is right from Baldor.

Karl's 213T frame motor should be greased every 3600 hours of run time. If my math is right and he runs...

I think that because the parents are responsible for the care and upbringing of the juveniles maybe they could join them for the next 52 Saturdays cleaning up beaches and maybe even take some classes...

Alan you've only scratched the surface. There are many types of zerks for different applications.

I wouldn't bother greasing the bearings unless as Bill said if there's a vent for the old grease to vent out. If the motor has the original bearings they are probably sealed. That doesn't mean you...

Glad to see you got the nut off, and the spindle cartridge out.
Picture of the nut is a little blurry, is that a nyloc nut or is there some type of thread retainer?

Just going from the O.D. you provided here's a link to the McMaster list of SAE and metric locknuts.

Looks like the closest SAE...

I agree with Brian. Get a long enough chisel and you can get that nut off, it's not too far in the cartridge.

Can you remove the spindle cartridge from the machine so you can work standing at...

You'll be looking for a axial lock nut socket. You'll have to determine the size nut. They have a numerical designation, smaller nuts have lower numbers and larger nuts have bigger numbers. You can...

Hi Tom,
Been busy in the shop all day or I would have sent info sooner.
What you're looking for is a adjustable hook spanner. Here's a link to them at McMaster-Carr....

I Googled the machine parts break down. It looks like you'll be dealing with a deep groove ball bearing on one end and a angular contact bearing on the other end.

All the spindles I've rebuilt...

I've never used one, but I read that a roll pin works well for making screw extractor bits.

Google says to increase the water temperature to 160 to kill the bacteria.
That's not a safe temp. to have, so you may have to temper it some how.

You can get lifting slings here. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/slings/slings~/

Does anyone know of a online span calculator for SYP treated lumber? Something that's easy to use and understand.

I haven't been following the whole thread but checking in once in a while. It's a pretty interesting project you've taken on.

You could gain some mechanical advantage by going with multiple...

Didn't want to hijack the other electrical thread so I'm asking here. I understand the issue with back stabbed outlets not holding up. But what's the difference between the back stabbed outlet...

Well I got the sled dialed in the other day. I used the 5 cut method. I like it because after doing the math it tells me how far and which way to move the fence. I had a little trouble and found out...

I've been using the 5 cut method from William Ng's website. Started with about .033. Was getting distracted with an empty belly that knew it was later than I did. I'll go back at it tomorrow.

How precise do you fellas get with your cross cut sleds?

I'm getting ready to build a cabinet for the lady of the house and thought I'd check my sled. Well I fooled around for a while and I have...
