I have stabilized / filled punky or unstable parts of spalted maple with west systems epoxy and clear finished over top. Came out just fine and was hard to tell anything had been done.

Are you in the US? Your electrical terminology is confusing and throwing me off. What gauge is the cord your talking about?

Wiring / cord is rated in gauge and has a correlation to safe usage...

I have a S50 and have posted about it in detail here and on owwm.org ; I'd imagine you've found my previous threads on it if you've keyword searched. There is not very much information online about...

Call me a dinosaur, but this thread illustrates why I choose to still drive vehicles manufactured in 2000 and 1997, respectively and will be looking for another (additional) vehicle soon from the...

Totally depends on the saw, but I use a dado stack often on my older SCM slider. I will say, though, that my arbor is 1" and I bought a new (10") dado stack with larger bore to fit this saw and had...

Always funny how the budget can creep. In all honesty, the OP could get by with a used med duty machine for ~1-2k and save the rest for a feeder, nice tooling, etc but since the starting budget is...

I bought a 10 hp Phase Perfect last year after running a used Kay 10 HP Rotary for some years prior. Night and day difference in efficiency, noise and voltage balance. I bought the NEMA 3R outdoor...

Yeah, now I'm looking at the SCM! :D Looks like an ideal machine in a lot of ways including price.

Yeah, I understand where you’re coming from. Looking at the Hammer closer, it looks like it could be a good fit for you and certainly convenient. How much is it with 1 1/4” spindle and any sliding...

I used to do quite a bit of timber framing full time and own a Makita 5104 and really like it. Made in Japan, simple, heavy nice weight / build to it. I've also have used the other, newer model...

No one has asked a few of the important questions here yet so I'll do it:

What are you hoping / intending to use the shaper for and have you ever used one before?

Do you realize that you will...

Probably not going to cut it in my opinion and experience in the past of starting larger motor/cutterhead diameter planer on an RPC rated to start 10 HP.

Is this paint grade or clear/stain grade cabinetry? Have you considered hardwood banding? I have used plenty of iron on commercial veneer banding and, like you, have found it to be a painful, tedious...

I had a "failure" recently with TB III. Not sure if failure is the proper way to describe it, but I built a pair of exterior chaise lounge chairs from Cypress and Black Locust in 2019. They sit...

“Compact” tractor with forks on FEL will not come close to handling the weight of many of his items. It takes a heavier, more full sized tractor in the ~60 hp + range to think about safely lifting...

Now wait just a minute there, Brent. Did you think you could casually mention a "new" spindle with an end mounted sliding table and not tell us more about it! By new, do you mean "shiny paint new" or...

Last I checked the Pro Scale DRO is around $400. I think I got mine for less when they were having an annual sale a handful of years back. Of course, there is Wixey for ~1/3 the cost, but I don't...

Just a note that you can add an aftermarket digital read out to the planer bed raise and lower that is of equal or higher quality than what is integrated into the OEM package, even on this higher end...

You have already had several good recommendations to look for good condition used 3 phase industrial + a phase converter.

You're going to have a hard time finding something in this build quality...

I designed and built a butterfly leaf dining table last year for a client and used folding hardware from Poettker and was very impressed with it. Their website is Euro based and not very helpful, but...

As someone who does this out of necessity / nowhere near enough space, I can confirm that yes, it is certainly a waste of time.

I used to have a nice Tannewitz "cabinet" saw back to back with my...

I use the Stop Loss bags for the oil component part of Rubio and sidestep the can problem as well as the top layer of the extremely expensive finish skimming over from oxygen in the can, wasting it...

I don't know if I'd say it's a given that you should be having to fuss with jointer adjustments on a semi regular schedule, particularly on that model.

I spent a long afternoon ~5 years ago really...

Thanks Jim. Good to know.

I tested it briefly before loading it up at purchase time and it was pulling -25 " HG / ~ -80 kPa consistently with its current settings. It's supposed to have a sensor...

What about the heavy duty, threaded machine leveling feet you can get from places like McMaster Carr?

I have the same jointer (12” / 166BD) and have dealt with this to some degree but am currently...
