There are several other schools that teach woodworking, design, and other associated skills that are highly regarded by many. you might also consider the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and the...
I have a Diamond Tool Company lathe that was originally driven by leather belts from a layshaft system. Since I don't have a waterwheel, nor the layshaft system in my shop, I use an electric motor to...
The blade shape and the general profile of the handle look like a Disston D8. It's probably one that was made for a major retailer under their brand name.
A lot of that really depends on what you're planning to build. I've used red cedar with maple for some items, with walnut for others.
I'm sure that there are a number of other woods that can be...
I have a NOS Record vise that I've been holding on to for a while, and don't really have a need for. It's a 52 1/2, made in England. PM me if you are interested.
I found that sawdust buildup on the mechanism and stop also contributed to the effect. Brushing the dust off the gears and stops helped a lot.
I just sold my 22124 when I upgraded to a used Delta X5 that i got a great deal on. I had the Beisemeyer fence, and although the deflection was measurable, it was insignificant in cutting operations....
I have the G0513 with the Euro disc guides, and I haven't had any real problem caused by the guides. They work differently that roller bearings or "cool blocks", but they can work quite well when...
I would think that, if the louvers are in the motor cover, they would be there to ensure airflow over the motor for cooling. The secondary airflow through the cabinet may be designed to move dust...
It would be much better to have an end grain picture with something to give it scale, as it's hard to tell whether you have a really good close up lens, or the growth rings are really widely...
You typically won't have to do any adjustment to the lower wheel, unless someone has tried to realign it, or replaced something and misaligned it. Chances are very good, with the saw being lightly...
The magnetic starter has to be disassembled some to access the contacts. You would need to have access to the manufacturer's information on the exact starter used to see how to disassemble it without...
Unless it's something that is going to be exposed to the elements, I'd go with the TB Hide Glue, as mentioned earlier. I use other TB products regularly when building wooden machinery, benches and...
That being a Dayton motor, I can guarantee that it;s not the OEM motor. That is a replacement that someone has installed in the past. Most of the OEM motors (if I remember correctly) were Marathon or...
Delta used several different motor manufacturers over the years, and exactly which motor is used on that machine is a required piece of information. I wouldn't hazard a guess without knowing the...
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this saw. It's in great shape, and I got it for a very reasonable price. Next task is to move it onto my shop.
I've been using wood slicer blades for years, and have always been happy with their performance. I won't say that the cut is as clean as a table saw, but it iw quite acceptable for what I use it for....
I have an opportunity to buy a 3HP Delta Unisaw X5 in excellent condition. It has a 52" Beisemeyer fence with the extension table and several accessories.
If you have any experience with this saw,...
I have several tools from Grizzly, as well as a number of other makers. I would not hesitate to recommend Grizzly tools.
The other thing about their parts operation is that they have been able to...
As you drive into Atlanta, make sure that you stop in Highland Woodworking. https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/
It is well worth the time you will spend there!
I'm in north Georgia, and I have about a half dozen folks within 30 minutes of me that are hand tool (Neanders) guys. There are probably another half dozen or more with an hour of me.
I have a request to build a bed frame that looks like old barnwood, but I don't think that all the splinters and roughness of natural barnwood would be good to use for a bed frame. I'm considering...
I've worked with a couple of different dust collection layouts. As long as your DC has enough airflow, you can locate is several feet away without any problem. The big thing is the number of bends...
