  1. Recommendation for a water-based poly that comes in 5 gallon bulk

    So here's the sob story. I'm in the middle of a "cabin" renovation. Did the downstairs in beautiful tongue and groove pine. Pre finished it with Varathane waterbased poly (satin), which, at the time,...
  2. Explain this like I'm 5 (plane not the whole length of board)

    Intro: I've been collecting some "users", a 7, a few 5's, 6's, and blocks. The plan(e hahahaha) was (is) to admire them 'till retirement, then start using them. I simply don't have the time or...

    Meanwhile the BORG is selling me a gallon of Arm R Seal for 50$. Limit 2 per order, but no limit to the number of orders.........not happy that it now comes in hard-to-mix-up-from-the-bottom plastic...
  4. What the heck is going on with mineral spririts?

    I use copious amounts of mineral spirits in my shop, from wiping "gunk off stuff", thinning, cleaning spray guns, etc. Usually buy 2-3 gallons "every few months". That's all I can fit in my flammable...

    Hmm....I should point out that wiring a compressor for 240 would be prohibitively expensive/difficult. Not impossible....all I got now is a 240 for floor tools (one at a time) and one for HVAC, and...

    4 stage or Air Compressor?

  7. How to join dowels together 45 deg? Looking for something very specific

    After an entire morning of glue, clamps, and dowels flying around my shop (and a few pieces into the woods out of frustration), I've biting the bullet and asking the internet: how the heck do you...

    For those saying "Lumber prices are going down!", that has absolutely zero influence these days on construction costs. Labor costs have moved from "silly" to "unimaginable" territory. Insurance/bond...

    Great answers! Unfortunately, https://www.lovejoy-inc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/JawIn-Shear.pdf only shows smallest size as LS090, and what's on there now is LS070. Not sure what if any that...

    As a continuation of the Lovejoy Idea, I've (a minute ago) uncovered the specs for the coupling ( think):

    5/8 Bore (which I assume is the drum/motor shaft?)
    3.16 by 3/32 key
    L070 (?)
    44 in/lb...

    How similar is the Jet 16-32 to the Supermax 16-32? There's lots of Jet Spyders available, what are the chances the two models use the same spyder? A little desperate here, the spyder is beat up...

    Well.....the coupler "looks" to be a little "banged up". Given the gap between the coupler halves, from the factory, there's not much spyder left and the couplers are a little banged up.

    I'm a woodworker (hobbyist), not a machinist, so no way to accurately measure shaft diameters and coupling sizes or whatever else you would need to know to get the right part. All I know is the two...

  18. How to replace Syder/Coupler on Supermax 16/32>?

    I have a Supermax 16/32 with a pretty clapped out rubber spyder-coupler. Little tiny pieces of rubber are coming out of it, which makes sense, I've used this like I stole it for the last 2 years. Any...
