I agree with both the start cap, dirty start switch, and more power posts. If you have been happy with the power, check out the capacitor and start switch. If you have been wanting more power, shop...

Just picked up a nice Ridgid table saw. Very nice shape with the foot activated caster mobile system,36" fence, etc. Only thing negative is the lock handle on the fence is broken off. From all I can...

I would love to post a picture but have had no luck in doing same. Would someone guild me through it please?
Thanks

I made a 12 sided box for my daughter with the grain running vertical in the 12 sections. The lid fits inside with a lip over the top. The lid fits very snug. It is also 12 sections with each section...

Yes, All 6 H.P. motors can run on a 25 ft. 20 ga. power cord under full load!!. (Ha Ha!) I think they rate them on the power they are drawing just as the smoke gets so thick they can't see the amp....

I build Biese clones from time to time and stick uhmw pads on with contact cement. Have had no problem. If you could find some plastic rod the right size and drill through the "peg holes" and...

Add arbor size, oversize miter slots, footprint, 3ph., butchered cabinet, I would only take it for salvage and maybe have second thoughts then. l always wanted a 12-14 and did buy a nice one. After...

Did PM ever make a right tilt? My guess is a 12-14 Delta Rockwell.

Put a second on/off on my cabinet saw and fastened it to a dust collector mount above the table to be able to reach it when cutting sheet goods. Found myself using it much more than the factory...

Gary,
Local sign shop made them for me from pictures off the internet. Cost $8.00 each. I am sure the ones she made me were not right for the age of the saw but looked good anyway
Try your local...

Had over 200 mags so put them on CL for $20. Fellow came and bought them, found out he lived just up the road from me, interested in wood working, tools and yard sales. Have become best friends. I'm...

Bernie,
I drilled 7/16" holes with a Forstner bit just deep enough that the heads of self drilling screws with 5/16 hex heads are flush. Then drill a hole big enough through the rest of the Corian...

I refurbish table saws as a hobby (Us old guys get our kicks in some strange ways!) I use Corian for ZCI's, fence faces on my Biesemeyer clones, and would use it for right side table extensions if it...

I wouldn't worry about the notch in the angle iron rail support. If it bothers you that it is not perfectly in line with the blade, your trunions may have enough adjusting room to bring it all in...

Fun when...

I use a large swamp cooler. I can hear it now! RUST YOUR TOOLS!!! Not in the desert side of Oregon. A few weeks ago it was 104 in the shade outside and 75 in my shop. No rust, pennies to run and 29...

Traded a Craftsman contractor for it. Decided to refurbish the old gal. Been setting outside so even in this desert side of Oregon, top was in rough shape. Did clean up well though. 10"blade, Three...

Well, first off, thanks for your replies fellas. The old saw is still under a lot of stuff at the estate sale so really don't know lots about it. Can't get down and look under the motor for a tag....

I have a chance to pick up a 12-14 but have no idea what the value is. Looks to be in working condition. Three phase, 5 or 7.5 motor. (can't find a info plate but it is BIG ) I have a 3 hp TEFC...

Question for the electrical gurus,
I did a bit of trading while back and ended up with a 3ph. 3h.p. cabinet saw. I only have 1ph. power so debating to get a different motor or a phase converter. On...

Fellow had this saw on Craigslist and we ended up in a trade. It is a 5 hp. 3 ph. beast that weighs something over 400 lb. Problem is I don't have 3 ph. power.
I know her are options but having...

Have this table saw listed on local C.L, 5 h.p., 3 ph. I had never heard of them. Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Dick

Made a few urns out of them. No complaints so far.
