Bill; I don't know about Rockwell or Powermatic. My Delta Model 31-695 has a 2.5" hose connection that I'd expect would likely be similar id they did.

Tom: Grease fitting would have to be at the 'nut' needing a large access 'port' through the base column and the elevation column. I'll be drilling a 1/4" hole through both for a lube can straw...
Thank you, Tom ... in re-thinking the aluminum 'nut' failure from your comments I realized that the part failed because it went dry from not having any lubrication. And though I now have a steel nut...
Nope, no slop ... it takes a very exacting push or pull to move the column free-hand without the crank. When I bought-it I did the usual clean-and-lube: cranked the column all-the-way-down ......
Don't whatever Frankie found or fixed! I bought my D-R model 33-890 about 8 years-ago ... it was a little 'sluggish' to the elevation crank. When it all-of-sudden a month-ago stopped moving...
Thank you ... one-and-all.
It's clear from the replies that the best procedure is to take them down ... and get them 'processed'. So let-it-be-written ... so-let-it-be-done! They will be felled and...
I've only read about 'girdling' to kill-off pine trees. I have 5 pine trees that are close to the house and growing roots under the house ... and I'd rather be rid of them. Three of them are quite...
Yes, Stan: pre-finishing will definitely be the way-to-go for the NEXT project. For this build ... 5 benches ... I had to resort to spraying ... then padding the areas where I couldn't hit with the...
I thought that I'd be able to 'pad' apply shellac to the bench after reading a bunch of stuff and watching some videos. However; after 3 attempts with small rectangular pads ... practicing on the...
I've bought about 8 or 10 bands from them in sizes ... 1/4" x 60" ... 1/2" x 145" ... 5/8" x 145". They performed well-enough: on 2 occasions I had welds come-apart. They were very prompt to respond...
That's great, Nick ... thank you ... that's the 'solution' that I've been looking for. McFeely's popped-up in several search-screens; yet, when I would go there ... that screen never presented. The...
I'm looking for BOLTS that I'll be using with INSERT NUTS ... not threading into the pine. I've used a few hundred of the bronze type bolts with barrel nuts that I bought from Lee Valley. I've spent...

If anyone knows of a place where to buy connector bolts in the color shown ... NOT bronze or black ... please advise. I'll be using them to assemble pine-material benches and would rather...
I've not heard of the 'smushing' technique before ... I'll have-to try-it next occasion. The most recommended and one that I've used: put-it in the freezer for a couple hours.
It's time to close-this-off ... THANK YOU all for helping me get 'here'. I called Mr Zinnser on the 14th ... he agreed that the right thing-to-do was to let-it dry-out, and that after 10 days it was...
Thank you Prashun ... some more golden advice nuggets to use in the future. The learning curve goes-on ... though I got-off to A 'shaky' start: I'll definitely be using shellac in-the-future. It's...
Thanks, guys ... I appreciate the shellacking of helpful info. I was surprised to find, yesterday AM, that the 2nd coat seemed to have dried hard. In the PM, I tried a few spots with a scraper and it...
From The Purple Painted Lady:
"Shellac is produced from natural materials. Which means – shellac is also perishable. Perishable- in the sense it has a shelf life, an expiration date…in other...
I've bungled my first attempt at using shellac for a finish. Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac ... clear. Dry-to-touch in 30 minutes ... recoat in 1 hour. I stirred well > blew-off the surfaces > using my...
Len ... one-old-man-to-another ... I wouldn't want to hit-it, either. It's most likely that you've got a 'ring' of rust at the top-and-bottom of the bore that fits the head to the post that's...
Kurt ... I've been thru that EXACT-SAME-SCENARIO with Super Grit. I have a Jet 22-44 Oscillating Drum Sander. The oem belt always tracked perfectly. When it 'wore-out' I went to Super Grit ... the...
Derek ... you might want to check-out some of these places that'll easily be up-to-an-hour less drive-time. Hillbilly Sawmill in Smithville (closest) ... Wampler Mfg, North Bastrop ... Berdol...
Derek ... I'm guessing that your likely to make-out best by finding a near-to-you sawyer and eliminate the retailer. You'll be able to 'negotiate' the thickness of the material ... getting-it home...
Why-not replace the spring(s)?
The thing about off-cuts: they are essentially 'sized' and ready-to-use. And as others have noted: HARDLY ever do they find a use. That's been my experience ... and like others: I'm choked. Nowadays...
