Tim,
Mine is a 14" like yours. I had worries over that same part. I have owned Delta 14s since I started woodworking and know blade tracking & tension assemblies to be a vulnerable area. A...

Tim,
Mine is a 14" like yours. I had worries over that same part. I have owned Delta 14s since I started woodworking and know blade tracking & tension assemblies to be a vulnerable area. A...
Tim,
Thanks for the info on your parts resource.
Sorry, no pix. The parts are painted and shelved, awaiting a base build. When the base is on wheels, I will assemble the machine atop it and...
Tim,
It appears your project is moving quickly.
When we cleaned ours up, son and I used a blowgun to knock off the dust, disassembled it, then gave everything a wash with solvent and/or...
Tim,
My stud came out with the method described. Might predate LockTite. Not enough corrosion to inhibit removal. Penetrant and heat are always helpful.

Sorry, but no joy on stray blade...
That stud has 5/8-18 tpi thread on the big end you can see. The part buried in the casting is threaded 1/2-24 like the neighboring holes on either side. Get two 5/8-18 nuts, thread them on the stud...

Clever. Simple. I like it.
Thanks for sharing that tip.

That is a mechanical marvel. Thanks for showing it.

You're teasing us with the absence of details.
I see a hand wheel at the left edge of the picture, but it's oriented perpendicular to the clamping axis. Rack-and-pinion? Gearbox? ...
Walter called it correctly. Probably a Jacobs 633C.
The round collar above the chuck works as a screw jack to force the chuck off the tapered nose of the shaft. You should acquire a pin spanner...
Nice workmanship. I really admire the full-height sight gage: very clever. Gotta remember that.

Jerry got it. I remember reading the description some time back. The relief in each of the blocks avoids smearing the anticipated glue squeeze at the seam.

Metal fabricators sometimes drive steel balls (sized just under a pipe's inside diameter) through a bent or dented section. In effect, hammer the dent from inside. That works on jobs like fluid...
Laura, thanks for raising this topic. I want to do a similar project.
To Frank and Brian, the Woodpeckers one-time-tool deadline passed in November; deliveries to commence in February. Made me...
For the past 20 years I have had all my tools mounted to a 36"' bar magnet placed on the wall behind my lathe.
I observe some slight magnetization, but nothing to cause me inconvenience. Despite an...
Very clever. Thanks for posting.

I do not have one. What you describe could be excessive drag between moving parts. It appears the column rises and retracts within the bore of the cubic base. As matter of design and manufacture,...
I built a good set when Home Depot and Big Lots had them on clearance starting 1-2 years ago. This week I went in search of plastic pads for the 3700 series F-clamps and Pony pipe clamps. There are...
If you are inclined to consider RTA (ready-to-assemble), look at Barker Cabinets. Wall cabinets in depths from 6 inches to refrigerator depth in whole inch increments. ...
I bought one about 3 years back when I had some nasty work to prepare 250 sq ft of subfloor under some 25-year old vinyl. Pulling up the old floor left behind an uneven pastiche of paper, mastic,...
Mike,
Thanks for the news. I stocked cartridges after reading the preceding thread. No regrets on the saw: it's a fine piece of equipment.
Having read the linked article, I gather Bosch will...
John,
Sorry to read of the continuing turmoil.
Your photo above shows you tried a crimped pipe. but didn't get it all in or much depth. I'm trying to say you almost made it fit, but not enough...
John,
Every responder is quicker at the keyboard than I am. There was one picture and no reply when I started my post above. When I posted there were several replies and that very helpful...
I see your dilemma. Not enough stub at the 9:00 o'clock position to slip over and clamp.
But plenty of room at the 12:00, 3:00 and 6:00 positions for a sheet metal screw to secure a pipe with crimp...
Glad to have through-holes confirmed.
just guessing here. The alternative would have involved black magic and blue language.
Maybe some penetrant for a pin's OD, then a tap to bite the pin's ID...
