    Help with low motor power on table saw

    Thread Starter: Karl Card

    Had a 7.5 baldor, had a seperate post on this because I thought I figured out what was going on but evidently this is beyond my knowledge or experience. I replaced caps on 7.5 baldor, no difference, bought new leeson 7.5 hp, both single phase motors, got it hooked up, check wiring, cranked...

    Router questions

    Thread Starter: chris hood

    My router on the recently purchased router table quit, it came on then off then on now it will not come on. I have it pulled apart trying to get all the sawdust out of the connections, it's embedded pretty bad, not sure if that is the cause but worth a try. I found another identical one on eBay for...

    How is the Margin Of Error determined for a survey? I don't care who does the survey or what it's for I'm just curious how the margin is determined and who determines it.

    Economics of milling vs store bought hardwoods?

    Thread Starter: Nick Crivello

    I'm pondering the economics of a mill vs buying rough lumber at retail/wholesale. In the Bay Area, depending on where you shop hardwoods like Oak and walnut can run up to $15-18bf/ft, or more for the rift/quarter sawn stuff. If one is able to source your own logs, running your own mil and kiln...

    Tally Ho

    Thread Starter: Rob Luter

    Apologies if this has been posted previously, but my search of the forum found nothing. I've been watching this series for a number of weeks now and found it fascinating. It covers the restoration/rebuilding of a 100 year old sailing yacht. The scale of the build is huge and I can't imagine the...

    Ah,my kinda old Craftsman 14" Bandsaw.

    If you are going to do the work to replace at least one bearing, especially on a "new to you" machine, IMHO, it's worth just doing them all.

    Bandsaw blades

    John pretty much covered it. Of those, I have really come to respect the Lennox brand. What size blade can your saw handle? For half inch, the Diemaster

    Creeker’s past weeks accomplishments

    Blech.... . I prefer the chicken version anyway and it most often uses "American" cheese. Which when you think about it is also highly processed
