Here you go, I wish I lived closer.

OK...I'll take it.....PM coming.

I found fitting the right guide pretty simple. The guide itself is not the issue, it's the mount that goes from the post to the guide. It all depends on the offset of the post to the blade. But the...

I've tried a lot of different guides on my Meber 600 which would be a similar machine. I'm super happy with the Carter guides now. Not the roller bearing ones, these are friction guides. If you look...

I've often wondered about that saw and the Makita version. From what I hear thank God the motor has been swapped for a single phase! If you were a little closer I might bite on it just...

I definitely would not rule out a vintage machine. Even 3 phase is easily handled with a VFD. My criteria on a vintage machine would be condition, ball bearings and a belt drive. From everything I've...

Those old jointers are a thing of beauty especially after they've been refurbished. I had a 12" jointer, Fay & Eagan, which I restored and it was great. However this search is for our local...

What's a miter plane?

Hi all, looking for a 12" jointer preferably with a helical head though that's not a deal breaker because you can buy them. Located in Asheville, NC and willing to drive for it Could possible include...

Hello...looking for a Festool MFT table. I don't need the accessories so just the basic table. I'm in Asheville, NC and will drive a little ways but they are impractical to ship. They run $699 new so...

If you find one but it doesn't have the correct mounting base, i.e. the holes don't line up, you can buy adapters for that purpose. Or make your own out of BB plywood. I've done both with good...

Interested.

A number of years ago I bought a band saw blade tension meter from a guy on eBay. He milled the body out of aluminum and then you installed your own dial indicator. Cost was about $100. I use it...

Not sure if you can find it out there but black locust is a great outdoor wood. That and osage orange are both known for being great fence posts. You're not looking for cabinet wood, just something...

I took a steam bending class with Michael Fortune one time and he builds his out of exterior grade plywood. He claims they last a long time and just don't paint it so it can dry out after use. I ...

FWIW, the club I belong to has two SS's. We've had at least 4 brake activation's, none by flesh contact, and the only blade damaged was a thin kerf. If you're using a full kerf blade it will survive...

Are you interested in selling the old guides?

This is a tough audience. I have the system which I only bought the parts I needed and have had great success with it. When I bought my track saw I was able to swap out the standard track for the...

In re-reading Georges post: Just to clarify, I always use the same part of the cabinet as a reference edge. Usually the bottom of the cabinet and then just bore the pin holes starting at X inches...

What I've learned is that whatever end of the track you're using as the reference to start the boring process, use it to do all the holes. You can't flip the track around and use the other end...

I've tried most of them. Euro, Laguna, roller, and I finally ended up with the Carter CP-30. Not cheap but you can adjust them to extremely tight tolerance between the rub block and blade. The effect...

So what's your point? That may be true but the point I was making is that you need to look beyond the brand name to understand the quality of the machine. Meber is practically unknown in the US....

I had the same search going on a number of years ago when I decided to upgrade from a WT-16. I found a Meber 600, which is the OEM manufacturer for a lot of other Italian saws. It's 24" with enormous...

I've got a Veritas bevel up smoother plane with a PMV-11 blade which I've used about twice. Would that be of interest?

Well, I have an extra set of metric allen wrenches so I sacrificed one. That's all the bend that it took to get the ball end to grip. I kind of figured I might end up here but thought "how could you...
