I still have a laptop with 7 on it. It was a company laptop (large blue tech company) so it can't be upgraded without paying. I like 7. I leave...

A quick check on Powermatic's website for service centers list several in the Tampa area who do in house and field repairs. I suspect if you called...

Never bought an extended warranty and even if I had to spend $12k on a transmission I would have still come out ahead by not purchasing one once you...

It was a real guess at RPM. The link you posted to the Chinese one on Amazon was a 6 to 1 ratio. I made this one 4 to 1. The stepper can go so...

I made a second leg out of some scrap read oak (newel posts). I'm still trying to decide on what the final pulley ratio should be. But I found the...

My plan is to try and do this. I'm just going to remove the white section inside the dashed lines. I'll move the spindle slowly and set the code...

John, how did you come up with the g-code to make the leg? I'm close to finishing the rotary I had posted ideas on making. Once it's done I'll...

The place that I bought my soapstone stove from sells new wood stoves but they also rebuild older stoves. I don't know if they sell them or if it's...

I think you made the right choice. If you plan on owning the car for long enough sooner or later you will see the difference in paint. On a side...
