Have you experimented with the hertz setting in your materials sheet? A higher number will produce a smoother cut.

And because this is a tilting machine it's really only important to have the spindle in "in tram" parallel to the axis of the tilt. The...

Is that an issue for light-weight shavings, as well? How does it compare to an upright cyclone in terms of separation? (I had a lot of trouble with...

What you're looking for is a way to "tram" the head. It's something commonly done on machines like vertical milling machines etc, to make sure the...

Oh right. Because I'm only measuring movement from one side. Man, losing my machine shop brain.

I’m not a fan of hanging pot racks where you can hit them. I put mine under the cooktop. It is just a cabinet with two doors so I put a bar across up...

No, the indicator test is not dependent on the spindle being square to the table. To check for square, clamp a 12" straightedge between spacers on...

Both references above are rather Western-oriented marketing literature of Japanese craftmanship. In that context, any craft from any part of the...

Other than supplying air to the unit at the correct pressure, what's the difficulty?

You can't make the bracket you drew from wood, but you can certainly make supports from wood which will hold up your pots. You said you don't want...

I should probably also mention this:...

I have an older Performax 22-44 and a 37x2 double drum. The advantage of the double drum sander is less passes. Whether you stagger the grits or use...

So this would be a $195 router with a $300 edge guide. Doesn't seem right...

I sincerely appreciate your help in finding it : ) I was wondering about the runout check. I guess what I will do is use a few accurate squares...

No reason to assume the worst on a machine of that quality. Some monkey probably broke the spindle lock cable connection and no one ever fixed it...

I keep hoping that the arbor is going to be use-able, but since the spindle lock is not attached, I'm assuming they are using pliers. Going by the...

Ah,you're right. I've been doing so much back and forth research I must have had something else on my mind. Anyway, my leased building is a POS in...

Ahhh Okay. Now I get it. So there are two way to kill it: e button or lever.

For paint removal, I turn the heat on that gun all the way up to 1300 degrees. Be careful with it because at that heat it only takes an instant to...

On my Griggio that black switch above the green button is a master on/off switch. On position then green button will start the motor. The off...

I will have to clean out the wood chips and take off the side panel to see what is going on. All of the mechanisms are hidden from view. I'm not...

I have a similar (30 year old) system using Taylor and Ng components sitting in a box in the attic because we are using a different set up now. If...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll check out all of them.

What do you think the lever is right above the green button? that looks like a brake symbol.? They found some way to install and un-install...

1) Missing button lower right on panel (on / off switch I'm guessing?) It's missing the e-stop button 2) How do I take off the saw blade?...

Regardless of what it is...it's not hard to look at! That's a work of art.

Thanks Maurice - I think I need to find someone to make the brackets for me. The one you found won't work because I want to keep the pans away from...

Anyway, today is a hustle handyman day so I won't have a lot of time to explore this stuff and I've gotten behind on some quotes for April / May work...

Comps are not always reliable. In my little story above, that was absolutely the case with our old property. The comparables were within reasonable...
