    I don't know if they're the "best" but I've been happy with Triumph drill bits, available from Lee Valley. I got a few of the hard-to-sharpen smaller sizes.

    Another vote for trying a mesh system - I keep a node out in the shop which is a good 50' from the primary node.

    And if it doesn't work you can just return it.. no digging required.

    Into your planer I'd lead with the thick side so that you know exactly how much material you'll be removing. If you lead with the thin side you'd be "wedging" your feed rollers and cutters!

    I just got a 23 gauge pin nailer to compliment my 18 gauge tool (for the same reasons) and have been happy with the decision. The pins hold surprisingly well for being so small.

    Aluminum wheels are great, I have two of the Mega Squares (80/300) from Woodturner's Wonders on a 1HP Rikon. I used to have two of their radius edge wheels but missed having a sharp 90 degree corner.

    The 1617 is a common tool so most lifts will fit it either natively or with an adapter sleeve. Last fall I got Rocker's fancy router table package with their "Pro" lift and have been happy with it. ...

    I think it would be worthwhile talking about your process for locating holes. I doubt that there's enough runout or play in the machine to cause them to be mis-located.

    You might get better advice about this machine from a vintage machine group. I think most people here use modern lathes.. I'd give the same "don't bother" advice, too.

    I designed this 120mm x 4" adapter because of space problems. I had previously used a fernco + 4" hose union but the long assembly interfered with the saw body with tilting the blade past 30 degrees.
