Will do. I appreciate the tip.

I appreciate all the responses. The saw is on an open stand, not an enclosed base, so physically fitting the motor is not an issue. The mounting plates are similar between the two motors, rpm is...

I won at an auction last year a 3/4 hp delta motor -model 1312023 that I thought I might use to upgrade the Rockwell 1/3 hp motor for my older Rockwell bandsaw. A quick google search reveals that...

Hi Will,

As a new woodworker you might want to consider looking into joining a makerspace in your area for a few months before you start buying tools. The cost will be nominal and they will...

I appreciate everyone's feedback.

My main motivation for looking at this option is I want to build two chairs in walnut that I want to be steam bend so moisture content above 14% is preferable. ...

A co-worker of mine offered to let me have for free a downed black walnut tree on their property. According to her, the tree is about 20ft tall with an unknown diameter. Here is the catch. The tree...

David Charlesworth has a good overview video on the new jig. As Ken indicated, the ability to have a repeatable process for cambering a blade makes the jig worth the money for a Tormek user.

Mike, your right, I should have probably mentioned what equipment I have. So I have:


Norton water stones - 1,000/8,000 combo and a 4,000
Norton flattening stone
Veritas MKII and camber...

I appreciate the feedback. So my takeaways are:

1) Flattening the back on new premium blades is largely unnecessary. If desired, polish with my 8000 grit stone.
2) No need to grind the bevel. ...

I didn't want to hijack this current thread, so I'll ask my questions here.

I'm very new to hand tool use and ended up buying a Veritas Low Angle Jack Plane several months ago that I am now...

Sorry for my poor description. The space is the same. I have two areas in my basement divided by mechanicals. One is approximately (289 sq ft) and the other 9 ft by 18 ft (167 sq ft). The first...

Hi Jack,

Following on my previous question earlier in the thread and Neil's question on lighting rows being continuous, my space is not a perfect rectangle. You advised me earlier to put 2 rows...

Thanks Andrew and Victor.

Quick update. I had to flip the table and remove the dust collector port to put everything back together. The threaded rod that controls blade tilt looked slight bent, but otherwise, everything...

After putting it off for a while, I decided to begin tuning up my jointer (a used Ridgid 6") today per the WoodWhisperer's video. Since I don't have a parallelogram jointer, I referenced off the...

LOL. That would explain why nothing moved when I was tapping it.

So if I get it back together and nothing is bent, I'm going to follow the same procedure as before expect this time, I will move...

I'm a newbie when it comes to tool setup and I feel like a complete idiot posting this.

I have a Ridgid 4512 saw that I began setting up today. After I aligned the blade stops to 90 and 45...

Hi Jack,

I've been off line for several weeks myself, but I really appreciate your feedback and suggestions. I will try the configuration you suggested and fill in with task lighting where needed....

This thread has been very beneficial as I plan out my basement shop. I'm looking for feedback on my calculations to see if I understand the concepts presented. All fixtures are 4ft, 4 bulb, 2800...

I'm located in Madison, WI, I just updated my profile to reflect that.

I'm new to woodworking so my knowledge is somewhat limited as it relates to purchasing equipment, especially used. I'm...

Thanks for all the feedback.

John--I'm curious why the early imports are a no-go in your opinion. Was the quality that poor? If so, what's changed between now and then if I purchase an import?...

According to the seller, the saw is from 2003 so I'm not sure of the country of origin. He also does not have the stock Delta base, rather, it is homemade mobile one. I also learned that from him...

Looking to pick up a used band saw and ran across an ad for a used Delta 28-276 with riser block and Laguna fence. Going to try and see it tomorrow afternoon. He's selling due to an upgrade. Saw is...

Hi,

I appreciated all the good feedback I received from the community on a potential jointer purchase. I'm still in the process of outfitting my shop and I ran across two ads from a woodworker...

I have a 2001 Infiniti. It's already beat up soem I'm not concerned too much about the car.

As to my health, I can deadlift the weight of the jointer.

I don't know anyone with a minivan but I...
