Expect to pay $600 or so for a decent vfd capable of running at 21-22 amps off single phase. The following fuji will do it FRN0047C2S-2U, but...

HD c3 purebond is mostly acceptable. The birch is better than the maple and you will still need to inspect every sheet for a usable face, unless its...

I realized I never answered the question directly. They are decent shapers. If priced reasonably there is no down side. That said since its not...

Double 6008 on top, 6206 on the bottom. The 512s are 200lbs heavier at 1030lbs. I'm surprised the T130s are a 6011, for some reason i assumed...

I have one of the bridgewood 511s (identical to the 43-792 and 43-791, Powermatic 29, laguna something, axminister, cantek and a bunch more I've...

Thanks Dave. I appreciate the help.

Anyone? I expected to see a sheet metal diverter or fabric baffle underneath the rings, otherwise I'm not sure how well the under table dust port...

The 20" delta/Invicta rc51 isn't huge for a 20" and could be worth considering.

Yeah the quill on this on looks to be about 5" in diameter. Similar lookong under the hood to my f90, Slightly lighter but Decently heavy at 1300lbs....

I'd be curious to see if they are similar to the larger machines with the mt5 taper.

Buy a pallet jack, and rent a hydraulic drop deck trailer. A engine hoist isn't the easiest way to move machinery inside a building.

Interesting. I have a set of comatic split hubs and western roller said they did have anything that would work. It was either buy their split hubs or...

Measure the od of the spindle threads and the pitch (or distance crest to crest) Let me know what the measurement it is. Its a $20 part not a...

5hp off single phase is $250 for a decent vfd

A vfd capable of running a 10hp 3ph motor (27amps) off single phase is about $650. 3ph to 3ph is about half that.

Run it off a vfd and between that and the 2 motor speeds you would have every speed you needed. I typically run between 5500 and 8000 more than...

I have had good luck with the amana insert tooling. I have a bunch of cmt insert tooling as well but its not as nice as the amana stuff. Titan...

Warren, there are a bunch of people on Instagram with schmidt cope heads, if you are looking first hand information. Mike has a both the...

Buy a 40x100 euroblock, a rebate head, and maybe a adjustable groover. That would cover a lot. If you plan on running any custom moulding get a...

5.5 to 6k seems unnecessarily high for a jointer. DD machines are running 3600 with belted typically at 4200 or so. What is the rpm limit of the...

Location plays a role, but so does asking price vs actual selling price. At least locally a 3hp delta hd is a $500 machine. I sold this one last...
