Hello again.
Just let me know what you need. I've had my saw apart, and I have it, and the removed parts for reference, readily available. I have never operated the scoring part of my saw. I took...

Hi Rey,
Just by chance, I pulled up this thread from 10 years ago – and I see that you just posted 3 days ago!

I would be happy to assist you however I can. They way that I went about this was to...

No Sir, the RT-31 is a one-piece arbor. There was supposedly an extension that could screw on to the end of the arbor and adapt it from the narrow shoulder 20mm to something that could run a dado...

Since I saw Roy make a grease box, I've been considering building one myself and filling it with SPG Bullet Lubricant (based on beeswax) to use for lubricating woodscrew threads. It doesn't bleed,...

Thanks Jeff and Henry. I'm going to try what you've suggested. I got it close, but I might have shot myself in the foot by dimensioning the pieces I've done so far too close.

I experimented...

I should add that not ALL of the wood warped when I ripped it. 80% is really good, just a few cuts from certain boards warped. If I get them to their final dimensions (and they're still flat), will...

For my first attempt at mission-style furniture, I'm making a nursery set for my first child, to be born in October. So far, Iv'e made a dresser and am working on a crib, one with a lot of slats (of...

I'm going to go with the tape. I've never tried any UHMW tape, but I'll order some (Rockler's got free shipping right now). Making a new porkchop out of wood is something that I never thought of. I...

Today I noticed that the faint red streaks that are randomly smeared across a pile of freshly jointed white oak are from the guard on my jointer (Jet, 8", JJ8CS, 2008). I've since sanded the...

Opt-in as well.
Thanks!
Jon

I'm preparing to build an ash toboggan. Having never seen an original one (as a child of the 80s), can anyone direct me on how to best attach the cross braces to the strips? From the few pictures...

I admit that I was fooled by the doezen brooms in post 10 as well. As for my corn broom pitching dust into the air, I don't have that problem: I throw down a handful of sweeping compound (it's like...

I also think they look like the grooves from straightening nails. But it's hard for me to imagine a time when nails were expensive - and saws were not...

Somehow, I suspect you've thought of both of these already...

The easiest way to deal with what you have may be to fill in the thickness of the phantom kerf with a contrasting material, making...

Today I got a call from the machine shop (after waiting patiently for two months). My arbor, washer and nut were all ready to pick up. I've got them in my shop now, and after taking pictures to post...

I think I'll keep the 3" flange and re-use the matching 1" washer by making a bushing to 5/8. Maybe I'll keep with the thin delta nut for wide-dado use, but I'd still like to find a well made nut.

Update:
I've talked to a few machine shops - all of which say that they can make an arbor at a price I can live with. My plan is to put a 5/8 spindle onto an otherwise RT-31 arbor. My saw has a max...

Thanks for all of the great replies!

I think my next move is going to be to try to get a hold of an arbor from a 5/8 cabinet saw (Unisaw, for example). Once I have that, I can take all of the...

So far, my biggest sticking point is that I don't have any dimensions for a standard 5/8" arbor. Has anyone got any ideas as to where I can find a measured drawing?

Thanks,
Jon Hamer

Last fall, acquired a "new" 1988 Invicta Delta RT-31 10" scoring panel saw (3hp). This is my first and only real table saw. I got it for next-to-nothing at a liquidation auction, it appeared to have...

I got frustrated with my set of Chinese 'titanium' peanut butter bits and bought a basic set of Triumph Thunderbits. These are HSS, not cobalt, but I've drilled many holes in steel and cast iron and...
