I have the Ryobi 40v and have used it a fair amount. It has been good to me. I'm impressed with how well it cuts.
Battery works with my string trimmer, hedge trimmer and blower. One of my...
Not sure if anyone has addressed the bottom of the bowl. I'll assume you don't have a vacuum chuck..
Once you get the top where you want it, for bowls like this I have some waste pieces I have...
Oh Man, that is cool.
Looks like a lot of work, great job seeing it through. Can't wait to see it finished.
You could even leave it like that and make angled, stave-style cuts to have a hexagonal...
I added a little mineral spirits to my can and was about to make a slurry
Nice! Good find.
I love that fruit wood when you can keep it from splitting or chipping.
I leave my bed extension in place, with the riser block. It is made to be supported on those bolts, so I'm not worried about sag. I was more worried about having to align it every time if I took it...
Ditto with what everyone else has said. Pitch the blade. Make a V sled with some kind of clamp for round stock. Trying to round things in cross section is about the only time I've ever hurt myself...
The only down side I've seen the the Robust style rest is when you are trying to put a tool in a very vertical position. The forward sweep on the rest can get in the way as you lower your handle. ...
Steve,
I've seen the same thing with the locking lever position when I try and move the banjo in very close. If you back the nut off the lever locks at such a low angle it is a problem when in...
Thanks Richard,
Good feedback on what to expect on the quality. I guess I always wondered what you would get when you buy in that $7K range. Now I have a better idea.
Yes, the tail stock is all...
If you find that source and Part Number please post. I just got an Revo 18/36 220V and will want to keep this information handy.
I would also say to check all your wiring attachment points to make...
Nice, Those shoudl be pretty!
I bought a new Revo 18/36 and have had some issues. I wanted to share and see if others had had similar issues, or at least level-set my expectations.
I love the height and stability of the...
Sadly my 55-degree angle drill I used for power sanding died.
What would people recommend for a power sander?
I'm thinking electric because my only air power is a small Harbor Freight compressor...
Very Nice! That is really cool.
Are you going to color the column? Maybe a black for contrast?

I got a 360 grit wheel from D-way tools and I really like the grit. It is enough to sharpen the edge without removing a lot of material. I also like that it is 1.5" wide. I don't think I'd want...
Michael,
I've gotten those lines with Shellawax and Mylands. In my experince it is from adding too much product or adding additional coats before the first coat is dry. Then the whole mess gums...
Might be iron. Maple is real sensitive to iron staining. Maybe specks from the sanding or workshop?

My Wife signed me up for an ambitious project; I'm putting built-in cabinets with books shelves around our gas fireplace.
Between my old Workbench and Wood Magazines I think I'm set except for one...
I see several places with the SN2 chuck on sale and they seem to be on "closeout" or have limited quantities.
Are they discontinuing the chuck?
Thanks

I started with a Rikon 70-100 and it worked well for me.
The low end speed is 410 rpm so a little high but it I enjoyed it.
Thanks guys!
I looked all over the internet and they didn't have the info there.
Does anyone know if the threads on the nose fo the Oneway and Jet Live centers are the same? I have a Jet 1642 and the live center that came with it looks similar to the Oneway.
Thanks
Wes
My Dad has a bigger Grizzly. The finish isn't the best. and the 1" hole in the banjo for the tool rest was 1/64 too small. But it was right in his price range and he got good turning capacity for...
