I went ahead and installed singles, Lee, but thanks for responding.

I went ahead and installed singles, Lee, but thanks for responding.
I'm looking for leg levelers to pair with a 4ftx4ft CNC table I just built. I happen to have two full sets (8 total) of the levelers that have a small (about 1/4 inch) ledge on them that according...
The posting from Grizzly about a pending new shop planner is the best part of two years old. I think it unlikely it will ever appear.
Thanks for the discussion, all. I couldn't resist being smarmy - but the consensus appears to be as I suspected...I'm not getting any benefit with the over hyped sealer vs just going with the poly...
Andrew, at least for the Minwax products, they look, smell, apply, and seem to me to sand exactly the same.
Not that any manufacturer that caters to woodworkers would ever resort to marketing hype to jack up a price, but...
What's the difference between Minwax Polycrylic finish for $11.12 a quart and...
I've had my OF woodworker since March, and love it. I use Vectric Pro with it. I've got probably 400 hours on the Makita router and have had no complaints as yet with it - but, I also have the OF...
I have made several from white oak.
I'm only getting started, but what Alex notes about plus and minuses certainly is a consideration. For just that reason - that wheels and a belt require constant maintenance, I elected for one of...
Thanks for replies...think I'll build up another torsion box to bring the height up. I'm 5'-11", but find as the years go by the floor gets farther and farther away when I bend over.
Just ordered my first CNC - a hobbyist, OneFinity machine...it will be mostly to play with but I might end up doing small one-off projects for local clients. I happen to already have a 4x5 torsion...
About a year ago, I upgraded from a top filter bag on my dust collector to a Winn Cartridge Filter - the tall cage with pleated filter material. I was blowing off the outer shell today and on a whim...
Thank you, Ron
Thanks for the advice. I already use conduit throughout the shop so easy enough to open another knock out in the relevant 4 squares and insert another run, so I'll just get a 120v activated...
So, to supplement a Jet air cleaner in my shop I'm going to build 1-2 similar units using 110 furnace blower(s) and off the shelf filters. I've seen several DIY plans that I like. These will be...
Delicately put :D. I'm of an age where the heaving myself out of bed to pee in the middle of the night is the most dramatic threat to the frame's integrity.
I'm getting ready to make a King Size bed frame with storage. For weight/transport convenience, I am going to construct from a series of sub-frames made with 3x3/4 birch ply. Subframes at right...
I use it all the time for casting projects of various kinds. For your application (coating inside and out of a curved surface), the epoxy itself would be fine, but you are going to have great...
I used West System 105/207 to embed a circular saw blade in a segmented platter - going to make a wall clock. There will be some sanding involved to bring the epoxy center of the platter perfectly...
The surest way to determine if it is pecan is to bake some into a pie, add cool whip, and see if it makes you want both a second slice and a nap. :D
Thanks all. Google didn't work the first time because my brain didn't work - I only googled for the craftsman part number. Did find what I needed when I searched for quill return spring.
So this morning, the return spring on my old 15 inch Craftsman drill press snapped. Craftsman Parts Direct says replacement spring and housing is no longer available - YAY.
The drill press is the...
Thanks, all. Yes, Steve has always been helpful and personable to me, and he will get back to me eventually. This is my fault for trying to 'force' the chuck and putting too much pressure on the...
Thanks Reed - those confirmed for me that with the spring clip removed the geared plate should drop out the back; unfortunately for me, the jaws are jammed in place blocking any access to use a...
Long story short, I have a Hurricane chuck (HTC125) with jammed jaw carriages - maybe debris, but more likely one of the carriages jumped it's track.
I've disassembled backplate and retaining ring,...
