Thanks for the replies. It does seem that I'm going in the right direction.

This for sure. Pretty smart way to encourage even more consumption from so many people already practically enslaved by debt. I downloaded one of the...

I certainly sharpen more often than four times a year, but, I drop something down on top of the chest freezer and sharpen then put it away. With...

How does one normally test that the overload is sized or adjusted correctly?

I have cheap and expensive chisels. I cycle through them. I just made boxes for some really cheap Stanley chisels out of Wenge, Mahogany, maple,...

I have always thought. a "Servo' brand power feeder would be the logical starting point for such a conversion. Often used as a power table feeder on...

Ken, euro hinges have two parts: a mounting plate, and the hinge itself. If you replace the whole hinge, most brands of hinges are physically...

Thanks to all for the great suggestions! Phil G, how did you modify the hand wheel? Looks like you mounted a 1/2" drive socket in the center? How...

Around here, live load code requirement is 40psf, or with Mr. William's dimensions, 1440lbs total. So if we assume his other dimensions &...

Thanks, my friend. The miter you see on the far right is on the Bench Dog Cast Iron Router Table Top/extension wing that I stuck on the end of...

Necessity is the mother of invention! You could buy some pipe and use set screws. Black pipe should work, maybe an insert to size the pipe down to...

Sounds like the shaft is still on the machine.

I'll likely go with a combination with things skewed toward hidden. Pretty much all 120v electrical will be in the wall. Some 240v will be in the...

$4.75 at Costco on Sunday...down about a quarter since last visit.

As someone with literally thousands of hours TIG welding I agree that it can weld very thin stock. When the metal working bandsaw blade welder was...

David, that’s a great solution. A machine shop could probably bore out the ID pretty easily (if required). Erik

I’ve never actually removed the arbor shaft from the lower wheel. Not that it matters now but that step is not necessary in order to access the...

cheap and cnc dont seem to go together.

$121.00 to fill my Honda the other day :(

Nope. Single screw. Here are few pictures. There is a label but unfortunately I don't read German

Note to building owners. Do not ignore complaints about mushrooms growing on the wooden balcony. Bill D...

Sorry to disagree, but I just can't tell for sure. If the heaters were properly sized for the previous owner's resulting 480V current, then...

well stated Ron

The clicking and arcing are probably due to insufficient magnetic force on the contactor - - the coil output is too weak. This is exactly what I...

Since I switched over to WoodPeckers FullThrottle Blast Gates that problem is gone. No more sliding blast gates for me Ron

Jealous of those with the big shops. But I've had a hybrid shop(s) over the past 25 years, none more than 450 sq ft. Sometimes it would be tight...

going off topic is pretty ez for me to do :eek: I commented last night in the metal category and this morning realized it had nothing to do with...

Keep the heat down and keep as much sawdust as you can out of the router. My main concern is that you'll have the tooling to do the job from start...

It's fine talking about it, but it's hurting a lot of people. If electric is what the future holds, this is not the way to get there!
