I had a woodmaster 718 combo that I bought used and was happy when I sold it. It was a sorry excuse for a planer, though I didn't try it as a sander. I don't know if there's much support from the...

Just as a general principle I would suggest looking at the chain to see if it is dried out and sticking.

There were times during the price spikes of the last couple of years when PT 2x4x8s were less than plain ones on the Lowe's and HD web sites. Both were very high, compared to previous prices, and...

Yes indeed. It's certainly much heavier, and that is nice except for when I go back up Monday and have to get it up onto the mobile base. I met a buyer and dropped off my old (but 50 years newer)...

Thank you very much for the tips on shimming the table. I didn't see your advice till tonight. I want to do that and a few other things to it once I get caught up with completing the shop, after we...

Our current DSL internet at the farm is slow. I just ran a speed test and got 2.21 mbps download and .76 up. I've signed up for fiber-optic at the new house which is supposed to be 50 each way, and...

I have been bitten twice while bicycling and had several near misses. My approach is if I am on my bike and a dog gets on the pavement and is close enough to kick, I kick it. In cold weather I wear...

I use 80 on a 12" sanding disc and in the drum sander to shape or flatten things, but on the ROS I generally start at 120. I'm mostly not ending up with flat surfaces, so my workflow is a bit...

The saw is now in the new workshop and put back together. There were no shims, so either it came without them from the factory or they were lost by someone(possibly the same person who lost the key...

I bought my current car on eBay from Philadelphia and had it shipped up here. Everything was fine, though I had to do a little research to find out about registering a car in NY with a PA title. ...

Thank you all, this is very helpful. I can't get it loaded on the pallet because the bus doors aren't wide enough, though it would be handy if I could. I hope to be able to keep it dry in the bus,...

Thanks for the advice. It's a mini school bus, so the inside of the body is roughly 16 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 6 feet high, but there's a chunk taken out where the driver's seat is, and a built...

Thank you all very much for the help. If the numbers in the HD link are accurate then it must be compressed somewhat, because 12 batts at the size they specify comes to 17.79 cubic feet, and the...

I'm hoping someone on here has had experience with Rockwool and can advise me about transporting it. I'm planning to buy 21 bundles of R23 and 15 bundles of R30 on Monday morning, both in the 24" OC...

Thanks for the help. I had to leave early Monday morning and didn't get back till last night. The motor is original and I was able to find a picture online of the plate from a similar motor. My...

Thanks for the suggestions. My current table saw just dumps the sawdust in a pile underneath, so I can figure out the dust collection later on, when I get caught up with things. That's a good idea...

I picked up the saw yesterday and it looks good. The last person who worked on it had seemingly failed to put the key in the keyway of the pulley and motor shaft, as it was missing and both the...

I had a Jet 18" saw from 2014 to 2021 and put the orange Sulphur Grove urethane tires on it as soon as I bought it, since the lower tire was falling apart. The tires were still as good as new when I...

Probably because there's not enough sea ice left for them anymore.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of prefinishing the plugs. I have been digging a bit more into the question of stair finishes and ended up ordering a can of Osmo Polyx Anti-Slip, which seems like it will...

I am making new ash treads for the stairs in the house I am working on. The original treads are some kind of softwood with a million layers of paint and have worn as much as 3/8" down from flat in...

I don't gamble, so I've been unaffected so far except for prices of things I have to buy.

I don't know what the laws are anywhere else, but here in rural NY it is legal for anyone to perform electrical work as long as it passes an inspection afterward. I have the impression from...

Thanks, I'll take a marker and use it on the underside if needed. I'll first just check if the blade is parallel to the slots, because if it isn't there's no reason to replicate the misalignment. ...

SMC is a great community, and many people have been very kind in answering my questions and making suggestions, not only in this thread but in many others where I've asked for help over the years. ...
