Check out the 30 gal Kobalt model at Lowes. It is oil lubricated, 3 year warranty, and assembled in the USA.

The lathe is currently on a truck on its way back to Grizzly in Missouri. I really wanted this lathe to work out but since Grizzly couldn't do anything to change the low speed problem I decided not...

Grizzly has not contacted me personally today with any updated information but they have talked with the other owner about finding the problem. I am ok with it taking a little time as long as...

Earl, I had to go out to the garage to close up so I checked mine at 30 rpm. My 'pulsing' description is my way of being kind. At 30 rpm, on the readout, it is more of a stop start stop start.

Thanks Nigel. I will definitely bring yours up with the electrician at Grizzly in the morning. I have been so concentrated on the speed problem that I haven't even started on the tailstock problem....

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will contact grizzly again to see if some kind of adjustment can be made to make it smoother. I am currently waiting for a call back from someone further up the...

John,

I know I am very disappointed. I am hoping some other Jet or Powermatic lathe owner will jump in and say that they all are like that. This is the first variable speed lathe I have...

I recently sold my Jet 1442 lathe and posted on here a couple of weeks ago asking about new lathes, primarily Jet 1642 models. I got some good advice and several recommendations for the 2hp model. ...

Jim, I'm glad you like it so far. I took a chance and ordered one last night. No word yet on delivery.

Thanks Walt. Your feedback is helpful. I'm back to considering the Grizzly again also. It would be $500 less than the Jet 2hp model.

Over the internet I'm seeing about a $250-300 difference but still a lot of money for just 1/2 hp. Thanks for the input guys. I'm in the mulling stage right now before I go out and try to save the...

I sold my lathe (Jet 1442) and I am now shopping for a new one. I have been following the various threads on the new Grizzly G0698 1847 and originally thought this is what I wanted. I have now...

I went through the same thought process-and bought the PSI to "save" money. Bowl grinding attachment didn't work right and everything is more cheaply built. I ended up buying Oneway so it actually...

Dan,

I have the same dust collector and have wanted to vent mine outside also. Could you explain or better yet post a picture of what the top looks like that you connect to your 6" vent? How...

I built one like the video. The pipe clamp holds the log and you just slide it through. Mine makes use of the miter slot to control the sled as it slides across the saw. You can make it any length...

I thought the Tri-Master was NOT recommended for sawing green lumber as in logs?

Terry

You didn't say how long the board is. If it is fairly short you could make a sled to hold the board and set up the saw in a ripping configuration with the sled sliding against the fence. This way...

Bob,

Could you post a picture of the setup you are talking about? I'm having a problem picturing it in my tiny mind. Thanks.

Terry

I think Quikrete Resurfacer is what you want.

Mule has a fence also. I was considering it back when I had a 14" bandsaw. It looks larger than the Kreg.

Thanks for the input. I ordered a 3 1/4 hp Triton from Sommerfeld tools today. They have the best price and no shipping. Should work well in the router table.

Terry

Thanks Pat. Momentum would be a very good explanation. I have never taken a router motor apart but the size of moving parts would make a difference.

I have been looking for a new router for my table. I have been reading all the posts lately about routers and the recommendations for certain horsepower routers being seen necessary for different...

I am looking for opinions about building a combination router table and "V" drum sander like the one these guys sell http://www.stockroomsupply.com/V_Drum_Sander.php
I hate to have two separate...

Thanks Greg. I ordered two different blades and both were discounted at the checkout.
