    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...

    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...

    Osage Orange might very well have some interesting sound characteristics. Keep in mind that it was heavily used for bows (as in bow and arrow) with a

    PM 1500 or Laguna 18BX Bandsaw?

    When resawing, theoretically the blade's tension should hold it in place. So, if everything goes right, the guides don't even come into play. Of course,

    Really nice John. WNY weather will test it for sure. Was it hard to scrap out the old ring?
