Types of tooth contribute; raker comments are spot on; position in bar of wood being cut also matters. Stay away from the tip of the bar.

Should have read A2 rather than S2.
It really depends on your sharpening medium. If you use water stones you can sharpen both well. I have always used oil stones and have developed a routine to quickly grind/home the O1 that works well...
Sorry to take so long to reply. I have an American 12" jointer. Outfeed wheel does move the table up and down while keeping it on parallel plane with the infeed table. There is however an additional...
I have the spring joint feature on my jointer. A lever allows the end of the outfeed table, furthest from the head, to sag. I believe a spring joint can be helpful as the ends of the board tend to...
After digging into this issue it appears very likely i will have to have a head made and will keep the babbit. When I figure thid out I will post progress made.
i have a 07 Solara (2door camry) with 2.4. engine would be at add mark at 3000 miles. changed oil and everything was good. got a notice to take it to dealer for an oil consumption test. cr failed...
Thank you James. I am picking up the jointer this saturday and will post the major dimensions of the head next week. After additional research, it appears that I would have to remove the babits and...
thank you. if i have to have the custom head made i will
The jointer is an American Woodworking 12" with babbit bearings.
This came from the reply from Grizzly: "While we are flattered that many other manufactures refer their customers to Grizzly for parts, our goal is to try and have a ready supply for Grizzly brand...
Grizzly has 2 spiral cutterheads to fit a 12" jointer but cannot provide dimensions for me to determine if I can make it fit my machine. I am looking for anyone willing to get major dimensions from...
Thanks Mel and Jeff
Can anyone tell me how much a 1920's American Woodworking 12" jointer weighs? No motor attached and jointer is a 3 legged design.
I have a saw in my shop that I run one inch bands on steel wheels (no tires) and the saw hangs off the front about the same for both wheels. this is the same approach used in the mill where I worked;...
Yes Bill; I could have been much clearer. I paid $400 and was wondering how much I could spend on it before I was in too deep. After ordering parts today I expect this saw to be in operation for less...
Thank you Van; I should have referenced new cost before posting. This will affect the amount I am willing to spend on this saw but it appears not to be as great an issue now. The seller of this saw,...
I have just purchased a Grizzly G0506X3 18" commercial bandsaw with 3 hp motor that I intend to use primarily in a straight line/ripping operation. I got this machine inexpensively for the size...
Different type of equipment Malcolm; the headsaw John referenced does have an operator. Incidentally, the wood sawn through the curve sawing machine will be straight after going through the kiln and...
John, not too many people are aware of the technology used with these machines; kudos to you for noticing the lasers. Incidentally, the new technologjy being utilized is a x-ray scanner that sends a...
The resaws were were running of a similar size were 250 hp.
I like your thoughtful approach Van; most people don' t take blade stretch or irregularities of bandsaw length into account when considering tension. Just because your saw worked well with a blade...
Used to maintain this type of machinery, McDonoughs in particular. Totally different class of machine compared to what we would have in a home shop. The mill I worked in used a larger saw as the...
Get the Lie Nielsen for the odd small dowel and buy a cheap arbor press and drill a hole in a plate for the large dowels. You can do an acceptable job this way and have a press for your shop. I...
I'm having a similar problem in the house. I find the milk jug in the cupboard with the glasses, the water running in the sink, and the front door open. When i review the security tape i only see me...
