Well it'll be a user, but no harm! On another related note, the two halves of the handle are very loose under the pewter rings. Any advice for...

Paul, weird as this may sound, if it is a genuine factory misstep, you have a collectors item there. Cheers, Geoff.

You're right Geoff. The thumbscrew looks perfectly aligned, as is, and besides this jaws flaw, it looks good so I think I'll just crack on using it....

A cyclone works because it is inefficient and slows the air flow down. I note the blower the OP has is 3 phase which is a plus, use a VFD to control...

I agree with Edwin this is never a wasted discussion. I don't want to be "that guy" that set his house on fire doing whatever thing. I have never...

Instructions say plane blades up to 1 1/2" wide. BillL

One thing I have seen implied but not explicated here - adding a cyclone adds a load to the motor. It takes work, watts, horsepower, whatever unit...

I kinda hate to bump an old thread. However, I found the correct buckets. My orange/ blue cyclone as above bit the dust a few weeks ago and I have...

Mayor revised the repair cost today to "around $5,000" which is a little more reasonable. BillL

I tried the vinegar. Once the old gear was out, I mopped with Dawn dish soap and rinsed well. The I used about a pint (area is roughly 2x4 feet) of...

Looks like a nice guide. I could not find the max width it can clamp. Can it only do only chisels or can it do plane blades also?

Arkansas stones are extremely hard and not very abrasive / gritty, so flattening them against eachother without abrasive powder would take ages.

Glen, Those are beautiful ! I see them as Tea Caddys, precious casks for precious tea, which in earlier days was always locked and often kept in...

Lately, close to 90% cabinetry, but I've got a barstool design that sells through a local upholstery shop that moves a couple dozen units throughout...

No longer rusty.. Brass has a shine to it... That top bolt is a smaller diameter than the other 4 bolts... And, seems to have been made that...

You should give Vortex a call and discuss your needs if you're not getting results on par with a tablesaw with your current CNC tooling.

Very good looking boxes, (box falls short), ... lovely artwork!

I saw something about buildings being limited to 40 feet. I am planning on 44x60x16. The 16 is to store a large motorhome.

Boy oh boy, I always love your work Glenn! In this case, the asymmetrical knobs really catch my eye, and how the grain carries to the lid is very...

If you build the closet around the cyclone, can you assemble the closet with screws? I'd hate to build the closet, and then some day down the road...

I bought one a couples years ago to go 'cordless' making some roofing repairs to my house - thinking it would be handy working on a 10/12 pitched...

That's correct. A three axis machine "can" do lots of joinery cutting, but it's not necessarily the most efficient way to use the machine because of...

i have both a CNC, and a slider. 99% of my plywood cabinet carcass components are done on the CNC, and with good 3/8" compression cutters, and good...

I guess what I meant was that a 3-axis CNC is only going to cut flat shapes, and not be good at folding miter joints, straightlining lumber,...

How big was the impeller in the 2HP because without knowing that your information does not help much unfortunately. I know I sound like a broken...

More mental gymnastics around potentially how to arrange things "in general". Note, I took the slider out of the picture for the moment as the model...

Health issues are important as anyone older will tell you and the one health issue often forgotten in production work in the long term is dust...

They can go quite large and will do custom sizes. You have to contact them for details. Community member Glenn Bradley has one...
