you can always use a 1/2" dowel as a dummy gouge until you find the grind you're looking for.

Cut out hole to rough size and use an OSS to shape, with table tilted to your desired angle.

Yep, they just removed the numbers and don't really know or want to tell us why

Jaw slides are physically different in where the thread is cut. They are very easy to align properly IMO (numbered or not) Why they would bother to...

Well of course the slides have to be put back in the correct orientation, anyone using a chuck with a scroll ring should know that. I may have...

I'd like to hear some clarification on that as well. If they're not numbered, what difference does it make?

Find a list of common air tool cfm requirements, easy on google. I know those little compressors are quiet but have horrible cfm ratings. Great for...

Option 1 is fine but for wider projects you may want to consider the hinged panel like you drew or slide out support of some kind. In my table, the...

In years past, the jaws were made by cutting a circle into 4 equal quarters. These were numbered as you would expect and kept together as a set....

It's about $6.99 a gallon in my local station not sure what it is at the truck stops.

My point isn't what causes it but that it's $100 for (less than) a fill up :eek: I have just read that some are starting to raise the cut off...

I have a Grizzly G0584, which was my starter lathe and still works fine. Don't grease them, that's asking for trouble. The main issue with the...

How many have had the pump shut off automatically at $100

Basically all I did is to make it like just about every other major brand out there, not a big deal. I prefer to have the mating surface to be at...

Shellac is a sealing top coat. It is not always necessary, it all depends on the particular circumstances. In your case, old wood with unknown...

Yes, it's a gas strut used as a return for the head. It looks like the same one that my Grizzly has for $34...

Why? So someone took Mr Schwarz slightly out of context while making a joke. No one is attacking Mr Schwarz, No harm done to anyone. If I make...

With respect, you seem to be the one getting defensive. Do what works for you in your shop, period. I have four sand bags on the shelf under my...

I understand the concept of inserts, it's nothing new IMO. I don't care for the Nova OEM inserts. How they fit, the eased off internal threads, etc....

While I don't know (or want to know:D ) why you have twenty, IMO VicMarc machining and tolerances are better, the backplate and insert are much more...

The machining quality/tolerances with Teknatool was never top tier IMO. Then let the QC slip and you get what you get. I have some Nova chucks and I...

I have a few Nova screws and like Neil, I prefer them for their square shoulders. I don't need to crank down on the chuck just to drive the screw....

Can you cope or fish-mouth one dowel to the other, this can be a strong joint when reinforced

To be clear, Do you want each dowel to have a 45 on it so that together you get a 90 finished product OR Do you want to have 45 degrees as your...

I have a 580 and it still works just like it should. Never had a prooblem with it. The dust collection "funnel" is a PITA, clogs far too easily...

The first photo looks almost like an acme thread more than a buttress thread with the peak of the thread flattened off so much, very strange. I don't...

+1 The first coat does not require a "tooth" to adhere, that's only for successive coats to adhere to one another. I've never had adhesion problems...

Nice clean work, the design was well thought out

There is really no need to, so it's done to keep costs low. Making a fixed housing is much less complicated than making an adjustable height table.

Thanks John, I was asking for a different reason. Trying to find out if there is an average size that forums have settled on.
