So here's the sob story. I'm in the middle of a "cabin" renovation. Did the downstairs in beautiful tongue and groove pine. Pre finished it with Varathane waterbased poly (satin), which, at the time,...

Intro: I've been collecting some "users", a 7, a few 5's, 6's, and blocks. The plan(e hahahaha) was (is) to admire them 'till retirement, then start using them. I simply don't have the time or...
Meanwhile the BORG is selling me a gallon of Arm R Seal for 50$. Limit 2 per order, but no limit to the number of orders.........not happy that it now comes in hard-to-mix-up-from-the-bottom plastic...
I use copious amounts of mineral spirits in my shop, from wiping "gunk off stuff", thinning, cleaning spray guns, etc. Usually buy 2-3 gallons "every few months". That's all I can fit in my flammable...
Hmm....I should point out that wiring a compressor for 240 would be prohibitively expensive/difficult. Not impossible....all I got now is a 240 for floor tools (one at a time) and one for HVAC, and...
I've been "doing well" with a pancake compressor and a HF HVLP gun, but recognizing the limitations as well as the short life of my compressor running 2 hour long spray jobs....(what it takes to...
After an entire morning of glue, clamps, and dowels flying around my shop (and a few pieces into the woods out of frustration), I've biting the bullet and asking the internet: how the heck do you...
For those saying "Lumber prices are going down!", that has absolutely zero influence these days on construction costs. Labor costs have moved from "silly" to "unimaginable" territory. Insurance/bond...
Update on this...
Laguna has been heard from. Apparantly incorrect assembly of the coupler/spider was a "thing" in the past, since rectified. I got one of the ones where it was slapped on....

Great answers! Unfortunately, https://www.lovejoy-inc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/JawIn-Shear.pdf only shows smallest size as LS090, and what's on there now is LS070. Not sure what if any that...
As a continuation of the Lovejoy Idea, I've (a minute ago) uncovered the specs for the coupling ( think):
5/8 Bore (which I assume is the drum/motor shaft?)
3.16 by 3/32 key
L070 (?)
44 in/lb...
The time I've spent on the lovejoy website seems to indicate that this course of action is best suited for someone who really knows what they're doing with regard to knowing torque, has a good and...
How similar is the Jet 16-32 to the Supermax 16-32? There's lots of Jet Spyders available, what are the chances the two models use the same spyder? A little desperate here, the spyder is beat up...

It's a supermax 16/32. As was when...
Well.....the coupler "looks" to be a little "banged up". Given the gap between the coupler halves, from the factory, there's not much spyder left and the couplers are a little banged up.
I'm a woodworker (hobbyist), not a machinist, so no way to accurately measure shaft diameters and coupling sizes or whatever else you would need to know to get the right part. All I know is the two...
All your answers sent me back the shop....
As best I can tell, on this model, I need to separate the sander head from the mount seems to be the "easiest" way to get the coupling off. Does that...
I have a Supermax 16/32 with a pretty clapped out rubber spyder-coupler. Little tiny pieces of rubber are coming out of it, which makes sense, I've used this like I stole it for the last 2 years. Any...
I'm recovering from a hernia op, which has me somewhat limited to what I can do in the shop, and to prevent further injury, DR (also a WW) has approved "plane tuning" as an activity. On my list of...
As a kind gesture to the service the veterans have performed for this country, that allow a company like lowes to exist? You think vet's shouldn't get a nod in the form of a discount? I also liked...
It'll be the same was as the BORG rolled out the QR code thing: told no one, including the stores, and cashiers and customers only found out after they turned it on....
Not that a lot of WW lumber gets bought at lowes, but I do occasionally get some plywood there, and lumber for jigs, shelves, and what is now my 5th workshop expansion. The 10% off has been...
I got a thing of 1000 tiny little plastic bottles (think visine eye drop size) with needle applicator tips (think covid shot needle) for I dunno, 19$. Lifetime supply. Great for filling the...
As former military whom spent many hours in wood, machine, and auto shops around the globe, I'm having a hard time with your use of the characterization "Idiot". In my experience, it was the civilian...
The Milwuakee M12 is the most used tool in my shop. I got the ratchet adapters, once I get a bolt/nut cracked, I use it for all my vehicle maintenance too. It's not the fastest thing in the world,...
