It's going to vary with depth of cut as well as width. I tend to take light cuts and seldom have any tearout with straight knives. Extra time to make...

Another consideration is what else if anything is on that 120 volt circuit. A typical 120 volt circuit is could be pulling 15 amps just running a...

So are Nokia as far as I know. There are notes and wallpaper apps that I didn't install. I don't know if those are from Google or not. The other...

I've seen pictures of solid surface counter tops with stone tiles let into them. The stone is just higher than the counter top -maybe 1/16" or so....

I would never have guessed those were poplar. Great job.

Part of the California exodus?

Brass or steel wire brush in a dremel?

I think the radiation fears are overstated, maybe by a lot. This is what my layman self thinks he knows. There are at least two kinds of radiation,...

This is one of the advantages of an unlocked phone. The ones I've looked at come with Google's apps and that's it. No carrier crap. Even Google's...

Thanks Kev, that makes it easier. When I'm able I'll try that.

That was one reason I bought a Nokia 7.1, It has about a 5 3/4" screen, about 6" X 2 7/8" overall. I find it okay in a front pocket. It's difficult...

Check with Jalen Hurts:D Or maybe better, don't.

A dado would be fine with a dado set. My outside dado blades have tiny ears on the outside edge of the main blades. These leave a little groove. That...

Ads causing problems? Say it ain't so!! :). For me, noscript and uBlock origin in Firefox are not options, they're required. Ads and the Web are kind...

Checking the connections at the drive head is step next I think. Start with the easiest/cheapest and work up from there.

It's possible to find classic flip phones that work on current generation phone networks. There aren't a lot and I can't attest to their quality but...

There is research into alternative battery chemistries that have fewer issues. Sodium ion is one that has gotten some press lately, sodium is not a...

Lots of good things to check here, thanks to everyone. I'll report back if I'm able to solve the mystery. It's not urgent because I am able to close...

I'd go along with the 20 amp fuses. It would still be good to know what the motor is actually drawing compared to FLA (full load amps) on the motor's...

Yup, dust collection on that machine did seem like an after thought. If you want to have some "fun" try planing wet pine that creates stringy fibers...

Good point. Still, why after 4 years did it start blowing fuses? What is the FLA (full load amps) number on the motor's data plate? A 3 h.p. 240...

But are they measured in meters/second, kilometers/hour or miles/hour? :). The distance is the distance, the rate is the rate, it's just a matter of...

There were 3 primary Delta branded 'lunchbox' planers I think. 540, 560(565?) and 580. The 540 was a solid gray sniper but tough as nails. The 560...

It's a variation of the well known "$100 hamburger". I need an excuse to go flying and what's that? The destination on a lake? Let's go!

Not a permanent fix but Firefox has as add-on called "Rotate and Zoom Image". I don't know about other browsers.

It seems that aeronautical engineers agree. All dimensions I'm aware of are decimal inches - well, except fasteners. Those have their own conventions...

Are fractions still a core part of K-12 math curriculum? I know no one with students in that age group.

I did similar, built a little wooden support for the drill press's VFD and drove an eye screw whose eye fits the key and the key is always there. If...

I had a 22-580 for a while. I don't remember it being a sniper, the 540 would leave a good sized snipe on each end but as you said, as long as I held...
