I bought a TS 75 because I also use it to straightline rough lumber as well as sheet goods. The ts55 can do any sheet goods and is less expensive but will struggle with anything over 8/4 IMO. Yes,...

Thanks all. I was in panic mode and went back to the shop last night. I took the set that only had a grind or two left anyway (in case I ruined them) and mad a crude jig. I did the scary sharp thing...
Thanks Martin but I AM the local cabinet shop. I send my blades back to Forrest and jointer/planner knives thru our local Woodcraft (now ACE Hardware) and the local guy picks up drops off there.. I'm...
I need a sharpener near Kingsport TN 37660. I have somehow let 3 sets of jointer knives get dull, thinking I had one more good set left. I need to send out a few saw blades along with planer and...
It really isn't that big a deal. I take the top off both of mine about once a year to clean and do maintained BUT ours are in service 5-6 days a week and 8-10 hours a day in a pro cabinet shop. I...
Do you have a local Woodcraft store? Most, if not all, offer pick up-drop off service.
My local sharpening guy does almost all of mine. 13,15, and 20 inch planer. 6 and 12 inch jointer, and all but my Forrest 10 and 12 inch saw blades. I think my guy is about 30 cents an inch for...
Im out of town and will be for a week but, if you haven't figured it out by then, I'll check mine and let you know as soon as I get back to the shop
I've been lucky in that the cover has stayed on all of mine. The inside plastic usually strips on the few with problem. I just shoot a little epoxy in and drive them back on with a mallet. Good as...
We have about 75 of them in my shop and they get used hard every day along with Bessy and Jorgenson. Are they as good as the name brand clamp? No, but at half price or less, they are good enough for...
12 Fay Egan and 6 inch Delta. I started with a little benchtop and went thru a 6, an 8, and now my 12. It's like planers, I always want one a little bigger. I love the 12 but if I find a 16 at a good...
Val, That's my local store too. I'm in Kingsport and there isn't much here either. I do this for a living so I do buy some stuff wholesale but it was nice to be able to run and pick up this and that...
My 10 inch does have the 5/8 arbor and the 12 has the 1 inch. As far as I know, that's pretty standard. My 10 inch has the 1.5 horse and I use it to spin about 3/4 inch of an 8 inch dado stack with...
Thanks guys. That's what I needed.
I Just set up my (from what I can find on the web, No tags anywhere so not sure) 1900-1910 Fay Eagan 12 inch jointer. I've never owed a machine with Babbitts so it's all greek to me. I do have a...
I'm not sure what remote you have as I don't have a shop fox but sounds like Kerry hit it. If the "off" contact in the switch is stuck in on the bad remote, the start side may be over riding it as...
They have been doing it for a while on and off. My girlfriend bought a new Mark V there several years ago. Its still in her dads garage and never been powered up!
The fingers are 3/4 wide. I just went back to the shop, ran it half way, flipped it end for end, and ran it back to the middle again. One finger was off where they meet but, with a little clean up,...
The key is 3/4 ply and is glued solid to another piece of ply. I made a micro adjust and its all tight and solid. The first 2 feet is perfect with about 005 for glue space. It just slowly gets off...
Iv'e pulled out what little hair I have left! The blade width and stop have been set down to a couple thousandths. Everything starts perfect but over a 48 inch (I know that's alot for box joints) it...
The steel clamps from HF are one of their few gems. The Quick Grip copies aren't worth bringing home but I use the blue bar clamps every day with no issues. the're 1/3 the price as well
I bought a thin kerf WW2 from Matt (Meiser) a short time ago. Thanks for the quick shipping and great packing Matt BTW. I had to order a thin kerf knife so I didn't bother putting it on the saw until...
I don't have any of the sponges but I use the Myrka Gold disks on my RO sanders. If the sponges are as good as the disks they should serve you well. Wish I could help more.
I seen it today and wondered why Van hadn't answered yet? LOL! Nice thing about this forum is we have our "goto" people for every tool out there. The sad part is I guess I'm the goto for the broom...
+1 on the Delta from Cripe. I needed a new set a week or so ago. I decided on the Delta and couldn't be happier. I chose it over the Frued because of the 4 tooth chippers and nice storage case. Dead...
