Thanks Kevin and Rob. I know I can shim, but the item to go on the shelf is large and if I shim the shelf the item will not be on a flat surface, and will rock, so I would have to shim the shelf and...
Hi Kent. The shelves will be resting on brass shelf pins. 1/4" is enough to cause significant rocking.
Thanks Kevin. Maybe if I screw a piece of angle iron across the bottom back edge it will straighten out.
About a year ago I cut cabinet shelves out of high quality euro-ply (baltic birch). They are 21" x 21". Now that I am ready to finish/install, I see they have all developed a twist. If you lay the...
Hi Erik, I figured it out. Was looking at the front of the table instead of the rear. Easy adjustment, first loosen the table tilt clamp, tilt the table until the blade is square with it, tighten...
Great, thanks!
I figured out 6 and 7, just need your advice on adjusting the table, thanks.

Erik, thanks for this post, it is super helpful. I have a MiniMax S500P, and coincidentally, you were my sales rep! (For that and the FS41 Elite, both purchased in 2015). I would be most appreciative...
After much more digging around I found an Amana bit that will cut a 35/64" bullnose, aka 17.5/32". Since 9/16 is 18/32, this bit will be close enough that no one will notice. :) Here it is : ...
Thanks Dan, but that is a beading bit. The top and bottom cutters are slightly different sizes and they don't project exactly the same distance from the body. I have a nice selection of those. A...
Thanks Mike, but no, that bit has a radius of 9/16, it cuts a bullnose that is 1 1/8" (opening/diameter). I need the bullnose to be 9/16" in diameter. CNC Experts does not list that size on its...
Anyone know where I can find a 1/2" shank bullnose radius router bit that will cut a bullnose (or bead, or whatever the term is) that is exactly 9/16" from top to bottom? The bullnose will be cut on...
Thanks Brian, that, or a variation of it, might work.
Thanks Jim. I saw the connectors when they first came out but forgot about them. Just watched the Sedge video and a few others, they claim it is simple but seems confusing. Also, I have a DF 700...
Hello all and Happy Holidays! I am building a dining table extension to match my existing table. The top will be 34" wide x 60" long. The base will be 4" wide aprons connected to four square post...
Brilliant idea, he said sheepishly ...:) Thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious to me!
I've actually done that in the past, but so long ago I forgot. Love this forum ...:o
Thanks for all the great suggestions!
What type/brand of end mill do you recommend for making slots in 3/4" thick maple? The slots will be about 3/4" long and wide enough to allow a #10 screw to pass through. I tried to research this...
Thanks for all the suggestions. Lots of options!
Hi all, I have a General (made in Canada) drill press that I bought in the late 80s. Still runs smooth as silk and quite accurate, so no need to replace it. I had the option to buy it with a geared...
Looking to get a spindle sander with a good size table, the only two that look good are the Delta 31-483 and the Rikon 50-300. The specs are so similar I wonder if they are the same machine with...
Thanks for the info John, much appreciated.
Hi, I need to complete a paint job with GF Water Based Stain Blocker and GF Enduro Poly Satin, using an HVLP sprayer. What is the maximum humidity level I can spray in and still get excellent...
Thanks Sam, worked like a charm, easy peasy. Simple yet effective. And thanks Zach, there is a steel collar that keeps the head from slipping down.
