Derek,
Did the surround ring come with the Arbortech? I bought an Arbortech about 6 years back and just use it freehand. It might be nice for me to buy the ring if its available.
thanks,

Hi Lee,
Nice writeup. I have also done raised panels very similarly to what you do with one slight modification. I had made an auxillary fence that was three sided and just fit over my fence when...

Folks,
I am trying to perfect my skew chisel technique. My question is is there any advantage to using a flat grind, versus a hollow grind on the skew. For me, a flat grind is much more work, and...

Both Pete and Curtis are excellent. I drew a angle chart that Pete used in his book, and he did a great job with the book.

I had a J-180 and with a little cleanup and paint, it should be worth $1500.

Hi Folks,

Bill,

The H-30 s that I have are exactly what you directed to me and they are not tripping.

I am thinking that the H-12s that are tripping on the smaller motor are too light, and need to be...

Hi Folks,


Some may recall that I a Northfield 18 inch planer and replaced feed roller bearings a few weeks back.

It originally was wired for 440 volts, and I needed to rewire both motors to...

Folks,
I found my probem.
I had ordered new bearings for both the input and output rollers. After pulling out the rollers, a found one bearing on each roller with a broken race. It appears that...

Folks,
I pulled the input roller gear and the roller dragged a lot so I pulled a casting in front of it and the problem went away (temporarily). I thought it was debris that had fallen out, so...

Making a Windsor is a lot of hand work. I also did...

Hi Folks,

Happy Holidays!!!

Hey everyone, I took Rod's and Greg's advice, and by switching the inputs at the contactor, my problem went away.
