Foley (and later on Foley-Belsaw) Saw Filers are for steel toothed hand saws and circular saws. To sharpen carbide circular saws you'll need a grinder sharpener. There are plenty of Foley Circular...

Not understanding this choice, it's for external pressure, internal vacuum:
For those that feel you left money on the table; did you use an appraisal to set the value? I know in a big up market things sell for more than the appraisal but I always use it as a starting point....
Interesting. I have come to understand than the actual orientation of the bevel doesn't have any effect on the cut. Rather it's all about matching the cutting edge angle to the wood species that...
Back bevel came up because it was claimed that to make a BU plane work correctly one must fine tune the back bevel and the primary cutting angle to make a BU plane work correctly based on the wood...
This is a cutting angle thread not a sharpening thread. What you are doing is removing the wire not making a back bevel for the purpose of changing cutting angle.
Cutting angle is cutting angle. If you're getting good results with a 45* Bailey frog on typical American softwood then that's the correct cutting angle. Correct cutting angle is independent of...

I have a good friend who consults to factories for OSHA compliance. I showed him the version that is sold as "safe". He was amazed. The safeguards in the commercial units don't meet 600V...
They look nice. They're on Amazon; $180 for a set of five or about half the price of Veritas/LN....
My 71 fits Veritas blades with the adjuster nut upside down. The 71 is from the 50's so perhaps that makes a difference.
The prices are going through the roof for vintage planes right now. A vintage low angle Stanley 62 is going to cost more than a Veritas/Lie Nielson low angle jack (and a Chinese Wood River cost the...
Other than restaurants, every merchant I go to uses a card reader that uses my chip card and no signature required. If the reader takes your chip card (not swiping) and requires you sign the pad the...
I use the Veritas mkII with DMT plates to the "fine grit" (~2000g) then a KING 8000g. It makes my Veritas and Lie Nielson A2 blades able to take half a thousand shaving. Someday I might be a...
Thanks to all the unfounded bad press/reputation from forums such as this one I bought type 19s for cheap, 3 through 8. They all came flat and rip half a thou shavings after I sharpened the blades. ...
Kids have been facing this kind of adversity forever. Instead of expecting them to fold we should be helping them cope. Life is full of these kind of challenges. Kids lose parents, friends, etc....
I'm waiting for the paper mail-in version. I don't want them poking around my computer looking at all my files. If they want to do that they'll have to work a little harder than getting me to fall...
Stanley's patent claims it reduces friction and makes adjustments easier. The frog base changes from the lump to the t-shape to the y-shape are claimed to reduce warping as the casting cools. ...
Have you actually view a video of it in action or are you just guessing?
I used the google. It very old bog wood from New Zealand, not petrified. I wood guess Derek was given a small sliver of it from a larger more fancy project. It's pretty expensive. There's...
I was looking for a tradition Fire Extinguisher to put in my workshop when I stumbled upon a product I have never seen before, an Automatic Fire Extinguisher Ball. It explodes when subjected to...
What does "shot" mean? Most old motors need new bearings, a good clean up/adjustment and maybe a new starting capacitor. That's commonly called a rebuild. Sometimes the windings melt and now the...
Did you purchase the 1/2 hp Rikon and you found it lacking? Then you upgraded to the 1hp? Just curious what your experience was.
I've given up on trying to keep an inkjet running. I'd be lucky to get two printing sessions done on a set of refilled cartridges. My printing cost was over $1 per page and it was frustrating to...
I love my BU planes with A2 blades! I sharpen A2 blades with DMT plates and don't care about rouge diamonds! With a MKII guide no less! Did I mention windex?
