I've got a soft spot for these old machines. It looks like the model 12 was a ball bearing and roller bearing machine (no babbitt bearings). You'll probably consider that to be a good thing. ...

Looks like a Powermatic model 12. It's a precurser to the model 100 that most folks have. Here's the manual: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=2799
go get it!
A picture would help.
Generally speaking, I'd start with a razor blade, and scrape as much as possible off of the top. That should get 90% of it. Depending on how it cleaned up, I might go to an...
Excellent results! I'll have to look into it for a project I have brewing.
I'm tablesaw-less, and I haven't missed it. That said, I don't typically work with sheet goods. My 20" bandsaw makes most of the cuts I need, and for the rare cut it can't handle I've got a handsaw...
I've had the best luck trapping the misbehaving ply in dados of a larger assembly. Depending upon what you plan to do with it, you may be able to build a flat frame around it, force the ply inside...
There's a myriad of different ways to get rid of rust on a top. Without disassembling it, I'd recommend a product called "evaporust" Typically you would immerse the object in the solution, but in...
core boxes of course :)
I would recommend taking your router with a dovetail bit and cutting a dovetail groove along the end of your table top. I would then cut and glue a bunch of very short white oak pieces together so...
I'd completely forgotten about that picture. But you're right, its a much better one.
No, Harry didn't sell it to me, but I had posted about this saw a long while ago when I first acquired it.
No argument here. I'm telling you, you put a camera in the shop, and all of a sudden simple safety is somehow forgotten.
Thankfully the saw doesn't vibrate at all while running, so the table top...
She's not quite finished, but the Universal Saw Bench that I purchased off of e-bay is finally cutting wood!
It's a 1905 American Woodworking Machine Universal Saw Bench. Dual Arbor, dual 16"...
220 is within 10% of 208. I wouldn't be concerned. I would check the actual voltage coming across the lines. It's rarely exactly 220
power washer? (try on an inconspicuous place first)
Depending upon how your lumber is stacked, you may just want to wait until after sundown and remove the stickers between the boards. I doubt the wasp nest can handle the weight of the boards without...
Congrats on the big Arn. I haven't had any experience with that particular model, but oliver made a good jointer back in the day...
You may want to try your question over at www.owwm dot com. ...
looks like a delta combo machine, possibly their homecraft line, but not likely.
Go to owwm.com or .org to get more details. those people know everything about old arn.
Found these on the net:

My jig is just a tubafore with a 1/8 inch wide stick poking out the side.
I manually clamp the...
Chisel and mallet, or drill press chisel and mallet.
Then again, I don't do this for a living, so speed isn't that important to me.
I am certainly no expert, but here goes...
A planed surface will "always" produce a better surface than a scraped surface if we don't take tearout into account.
A scraped surface will...
Thanks for the advice. I'll probably pass on the dado stack. It's too bad though, 16" dado stacks don't come around that often. When they do they're usually crazy expensive too.
The search...

sorry, please ignore and delete
circular saw blade bushings?
Hello:
I have a rather odd sized arbor on my TS, 1.125. I have the option to purchase a dado stack with a 1.25 arbor.
I know that there are bushings that can be used, but I have never heard...
You'd be surprised at what you can do with pallet wood

Any turbulence results in a loss of CFM. Friction (pipe walls, etc.) also cause a loss of CFM. A trashcan separator is designed to create a large amount of turbulence and friction that slows down...
