Erik - that's exactly what I was thinking! I have been cranking the knee on my Bridgeport mill up and down for years, and just recently discovered...

Have you considered laser etching as an option? I think you could get finer detail, but it would be etched and not engraved with a cutter. Just a...

In the past this phenomena taught me to cut some practice dovetails before starting a project if it has been a while. Also on drawers cutting the...

It is three phase and the contactor does list both 240 and 480 voltages at least for amperages, so my guess is that the contactor should handle it,...

I have done a small amount of sheet brass on my Avid Standard 2448 machine with a Bosch 1617 router. (I would go for a spindle if I could afford it...

My smooth, open wall space is too precious. I found working around surface mount stuff too awkward. It's a give and take. Even my HVAC lines are...

Thanks Pat. That looks like a much healthier amount of metal to me in the bottom of a 3/4" BG. I have no doubt that it performs very well. ...

Assuming it is three phase

Thanks, Tom. Other than my Crown 1" BG that I use for roughing down larger pieces, all of my current BGs are either parabolic, catennary or V in...

Jack...I'm sure you've seen the 2.0, 2.25, 3.0 drugstore reading glasses, when I found 2 pairs of 5.0's on amazon I bought both pairs. And with a...

Something I posted a few years ago: still in use and still working great:...

Yes Dave, here is the 3/4" D-way on left and my P&N 11/4" SRG on the right (ignore the the graphics that I added for another purpose)... same...

I think that this is what Scott Clausen meant by his suggestion of a filler plate. In any case, I like this idea a lot. The strike is of necessity...

Nice looking shave horse Todd! Dennis, look forward to hearing how you like the grill. I finished the family room sheetrock repairs, wired up the...

I am 99.9% certain that the wall is typical old wood frame construction, with board sheathing on the outside and plaster over rock lath on the...

Yes, I'm one of those folks happy with the machine he bought, a OneFinity Journeyman. 1F even makes a CNC specific for milling metal, though any of...

Could you pull the shim from your strike and have a piece of 12ga CR behind in place of it wodth of you frame and 12" high with screws at the corners...

Exactly right. The drywall or, more likely, plaster goes right up to the jamb. There is no trim to remove. To get behind there, I would have to pull...

His picture shows what appears to an applied stop made from wood on a flat jamb. The trim is assumed to be off to the right of the picture.

When I was a kid I thought the book Blueberries For Sal was fiction or fantasy. Turns out there is a place called Northern New England. Regarding...

My exhaust is simple , its a 6 inch metal pipe(woodworking dust collection piping) with a 6 inch blast gate just before the fan exhaust and i have...

Agree with you there RH, deep U flutes don't take so kindly to swept back grinds. The wings on my 11/4" SRG have been creeping back over the years...

I did not mean camera but projector(using an old kodak projector , very strong light) And yes an over head camera would work , in fact I have a...

I do not see any trim in Jays Image.

It is not common but I have seen it happen more than once.

I don't recall seeing that happen Chris. Doesn't mean it hasn't, but if it does I'm thinking it's pretty rare.
