Tim,

I hate to disagree with your technician, but my SI12 (1988) does indeed have dado capability, although I have never used it. A separate flange came with the saw that slides on the arbor...

Jeff,
This is a very common occurance with this sort of machining. Generally, youre stance places you behind and to the left of the workpiece, and as such your arms have to reach quite far...

We currently use a Dodds 15-spindle dovetailer in our shop that was made somewhere in the 1880's to early 90's. It has a 3hp motor which replaced the original leather belt drive system. The machine...

Hang on there, Tex. I believe you may have some phase convertin' to do yet, and that may run into some bucks. But even considering that, this has to be the deal of the decade!

Jim,
There's an American Machinery #25 for sale on New Hampshire's C-List for five hundred bucks from a couple days ago. No motor, but the rest looks like a real gem in the photo, including a...

Barry,
I have a Kay Industries 10 HP rotary converter and it does a fine job on my machines. Make sure whatever you get will accomodate your largest hp machine (usually a wide belt sander). ...

I suspected this might be yet another in a long line of odd-sock capers! Clever little rascals, eh? :D

I had a spring jump out of my pnuematic gun last week onto my un-swept floor; How about reversing a little of that magic and telling me where it landed?:confused::rolleyes:

Depending on his visibility during the day, he's probably going to end up making a nice meal for a passing crow. In the meantime, he will make short work of many flying insects. I'd leave him...

John,
Head over to the IWF show in Atlanta in late August, and you will see just about everything there is to see regarding woodworking equipment, including the Sawstop. All of the latest...

Todd,
If I were you, I would put that router under glass. That is a thing of beauty, and has transcended its previous life as a tool into a work of art. Nice score!

The 14" Rockwell will shine in a production setting, and will fairly well swallow up a 25 x 25 shop. The 10" X5 will do everything you need it too, and all the bells, whistles, and accessories...

I gotta tell you guys, this is a sixteen year-old boy who is going to go thru the rest of his life with a deformed hand, and I will not hold a child this young responsible for the accident that did...

Mark,
Be careful! Now that you have three-phase, the sky's the limit on your machine purchases.:D

Very funny stuff, Jay!
I had trouble getting past the "seagull manager" because I think I used to be one, and I had to stop for a long guffaw!:D:D

In the contract furniture trade, we used to call radiused ends with parallel sides a "racetrack" table, for obvious reasons. The shape Dave showed in the CAD drawing is in fact a "Boat" shaped...

A router bit of this size can be run safely with the proper precautions and a good degree of experience with a router. I would make a router base large enough to rest my left elbow on as I feed the...

Gentlemen,
Consider before buying the Wixey model that the specifications on the web site list a fudge-factor of .005" plus or minus per linear foot. That translates to about 1/64" per three...

Corey,
For what it's worth, I was always concerned about the support swing arm configuration on this model because I believe the double-jointed design puts a serious twisting force on the...

Seth,
Those four tapped holes you find in many shaper tables are a "right of passage" that tells you the shaper is being fully utilized. A shaper with a feeder on it is far more versitile than...

This may seem rather bizarre, but depending on how clean the holes need to be, you might be able to make a small circle cutting jig for a sabre saw that would only require a pilot hole for the blade...

I agree with George, something isn't square. You might check the drawer box to make sure it doesn't have any twist to it. If the ends of the drawer sides aren't exactly square cut (and I mean...

Tod, I think that is the modern version of the UNO. The Uno is dark green two-tone paint and actually says "UNO" where yours says Sandya. It looks like the same machine- a real beauty. I'm green...

SCMI makes a wide belt that's called UNO (or UNI) that is made for the small production shop market. I don't know if they still make it, but used ones are very popular in this region and can be had...

Paul,
One last word of caution-try to use a table router with a proper fence for cutting these panels if you have one. A panel bit is a pretty big hunk of metal spinning very fast on that...
