Checking the alignment as in the photo only shows where the blade ends up after the cut has been made. Unfortunately, it would seem that the blade...

Thank Bill

I thought I would add to the confusion the term "Limited Category 1 and Quick-hitch compatible" Which (I think) means, I'm really a CAT 0 but I'm...

That's exactly my point. Small tractors have their place just as much as large ones but they should not share the same category of attachments....

That's like saying a we need small CAT 1 (CAT 1-A for sub-compacts) and a Large CAT 1(CAT 1-B for compacts) It kind of makes the system that...

A couple of points. For the OP, I think what he linked to or the bolt on style I used (on a much heavier machine) will work just fine. The whole...

I have the previous version, a 6 1/2" saw. They work great. I've had mine for 15 years so I'm not sure if that's a good price but the tool is good....

Personally, I think it's because CAT 1 is right there in between home owner and professional. You can certainly get every attachment you need in CAT...

I have telescopic links on the lifting arms and they really help with some stubborn attachments and less than level ground. I also advocate having...

We don't disagree at all. The short answer is that not everything is quick-hitch compatible, although I wish it was. If anyone is considering...

With respect, this is just not as clear cut as you make it sound. The term "standard" is interpreted rather loosely from one manufacturer to...

I know this is an old thread but I though I'd mention Sawblade.com https://www.sawblade.com/

When can we officially call you a cyborg? Seriously, the simple fact that you're still up and about doing things with a tractor is great....

Yes they add about 2 inches or so to the length of the lifting arms, which is not a big issue in most cases. A Quick-hitch is "fixed" in width and...

I have a Pat's and it's great. Thought about a quick hitch but some attachments would interfere. JMO

I have a grab hooks on the top and a shackles underneath.

I use primarily Japanese planes, I tend to put them down on the sole. One reason is that laying on their side, unlike western planes, they are more...

I make a stop block with a hole for the proper sized dowel or turning to be used. I clamp it X distance from the bit with enough height to clear the...

Attractive boxes, nice work

I don't think a BOB is snake oil or absolutely necessary to complete a bowl. IMHO, the finish you get on the bottom is a combination of the wood,...

+1 I apply glue (PVA) to both mating surfaces. I prefer to see the glue evenly applied, rather than assuming that full coverage was obtained simply...

IMO, I think the constant tensioning and de-tensioning are worse for the blade (metal fatigue) than leaving pressure on the tires. Like some others,...

Well said Jim Also I believe, that "after a hollow grind is there are two points of contact between the bevel and the sharpening media" this is...

+1 I personally find the whole subject has become quite pretentious. Seems like no matter what you do, you're doing it wrong somehow in someones...

I'm not sure where the "site every single blow of the chisel" came from but when you do need to sight down for, lets say the final paring, a longer...

Using a longer chisel or fence or table isn't just a preference or a crutch, it's geometry. If I want to level a 20' wall, I don't use a 6" level....

I got an email this morning, this is still available. Don't all rush at once

It's been echoed in almost every response but I'll say it again, confidence, which usually comes from a certain amount of practice. As confidence...

+1 on that Dave. I've had this come up every once in a while at another forum and I always advise against it. It's typically hard enough to control...

I have one of the early models of the drill doctor and for standard twit bits it does a great job.
