Tallest hardwoods in NorthAmerica. Planted in 1882, around 200' tall and still growing. The redwood tress replanted about the same time are only...

They make electrically heated mats for starting seeds and keeping reptiles warm. Simple digital controller with remote probe. One thermostat can...

Collets are consumable items. That one is worn beyond safe use or it is metric. The jaws are probably bell mouthed. Bill D 13mm = 0.512"

CT, CO. what means? Bill D

Et Tu Bruce? I think his name is really Robert. As in Robert the Bruce. Bill D.

A "bent claw" hammer is actually a claw hammer. Not much choice in the stores. They are designed to pull nails. Work pretty well for that once the...

Im assume the arbor has pins so the blade has to have holes to clear them. My Rockwell arbor has the two holes but no pins. on that one the pins...

In that case it would be easy enough to get a blade with the correct center bore and drill the two little holes your self. Use the good blade as a...

Round brass or bronze is about half the price of square. Same is true for steel. It has slightly less metal in it and much easier to roll then...

This sounds like a high school algebra problem in the making. If Bruce buys 160 pounds of sweet potatoes how many.... Bill D

I remember years ago some advertisers got in trouble because they used tricks like mashed potatoes to make ice cream that did not melt under the...

Now is the time to buy those remotes and use them to run a contactor for the dust collector. It is also the time for my annual; buy some clear...

Since you live in Ohio I would think a trip to Mexico would be welcome in winter to get a few months supply. Mexico has tightened up rules on...

That banana car looks like it may have a propellor sticking out the back. Anyone know? Bil lD. edit: it has it's own web page. I do not see any...

513mm is 20 inches so I thought this was a 20" saw. Bill D

Tip: add "Bandsaw" to the tittle. Your title is meaning less and unsearchable to 90% or more of readers here. I only read it after a few days when...

Wheels on the front and back can let you push the saw away from you as you push the work into the blade. But it does let you lock/unlock the front...

Thanks for the responses. I think I will try some 1/2" round bronze rod I have. Much easier to cut and polish the 45 degree angle. BilL D

Are there any special holes or just one center bore? Any drive dog holes are fairly non critical. Bill D

Many bandsaw risers have been made of hardwood. Just make sure the grain is parallel to the holding bolt. On my delta 14" I should have tossed the...

RT? Bill D.

Seem very similar to something I bought decades ago for $2.00 at Post tools going out of business sale. Mine track parallel so no side force. Never...

What about sand blasting? You can use other then sand. Like walnut shells, Dry ice, etc for less aggressive methods. Bill D

Some here have bought a cargo container and then filled it at the shop. get it moved to the new shop location and wait until the shop is built to...

Growing up my dad referred to the local paper as the Daily fishwrapper. Wrapper has. different meaning these days I suppose. Bill D

Almost ten years latter. The 12/14 saw may have an arbor that can be swapped out. Some are solid arbor some are two piece. Mine came with 1+1/8". I...

VFD for a tablesaw is overkill. The variable speed and power brakes make sense for the bandsaw. Powermatic TS uses a conventional C-face motor. ...

The US supreme court, and many state courts, require typing to be in a sans serif font and 12 point. They say 14 point is too large? Bill D
