Had the wolverine set up for a while. Recently went to Sorby Pro Edge and I prefer it. It's quick and painfully simple and more consistent for me.
I've got the:
T8
worksharp ws3000
sorby pro edge
veritas mk2 honing with shape on stones 300-16000
the works harp is definely the most used, it's just way more convenient than everything else...
Warren,
I am sorry if I am not understand what you are saying or maybe I am not understanding which piece you are asking about.
The only cabinets I have on my website (albeit terribly...
Everything you guys have stated confirms what my guy feeling was. I probably will get a smaller 25" drum sander just for drawer stock and some cabinet parts but I will continue, at least for the...
I am a one man shop making furniture, a lot of beds, credenzas and tables so in other words a lot of flat surfaces. I don't have the electrical for a wide belt at the moment, and honestly I think it...
Thank you everyone for the thoughts and suggestions! I cleaned out the spindle with mineral spirits for a long time. Thus far it seems to work better. I think the main culprit was a little bit of...
Kyle,
Thanks for your response. I definitely don't feel comfortable using the mallet, dead blow or otherwise, but the bugger is typically stuck in there. Heres a thought, and please remember I...
Hey guys,
I have a GO766 and have had it for a few months. I am a furniture maker by trade and typically only turn spindles so 90% of the time I have a Robert Sorby stebcenter drive center in....
I have the Deros 6" and ETS EC 125 as well as Bosch ROS 65VSK. Honestly for finish sander its a tie for me between Deros and Bosch, maybe a slight not to the Bosch for comfort. ETS is a bit bulky and...
Deros is the best I've had, very light. Went from Rolex to it and it was a positive transition for me.
Ghana you all! I ordered the go609x today and expect it will meet my needs quite nicely. I almost went with the 16" version but balked at the price. It was really the 99" beds that appealed to me but...
Thank you both very much for your input! I very much appreciate you taking the time to share!
tomorrow I will be purchasing the 12" grizzly jointer with either the Grizzly spiral head or buying the strait knife version and getting the Byrd head. the decision is ultimately hinging on how quiet...
I have had this jointer/planer for a few months and have never taken the time to set it up so I decided to give it a go. I understand the process and what needs to happen for a the tables to become...
Thank you all for the responses, I am going to buy a few timberwolf blades and see how they do. do any of you laguna bandsaw owners have a rule of thumb for tensioning blades? do you just stick to...
Hey everyone,
I bought a laguna lt16hd (2004) last summer and have never really known what to do about a blade for it (145"). I have just been getting by with the 1inch blade it came with and a...
Now that I see it I believe my problem was that I inserted the lead screw from the back of the TS and not through the front. so when i did it there was a no flange inside of the TS preventing it from...
James,
THANK YOU for that thorough explanation. I am going to go take it apart and put it back together in the manner you have explained and showed (Thanks for the pictures!!!)
I will let you...
That is a great point Joe, thank you for mentioning that. I am in Vancouver Washington. I will look into woodturners clubs. I know of woodworking guild of Oregon but I don't yet know of any...
thank you all so much for the response, I will look at the diagram and see if I can wrap my head around how it is suppose to function and understand why it is not. what seems like there is something...
Hey everybody, I look at this site daily but have yet to have the nerve to say anything until today! I just bought a used Jet 1642 1.5hp version with all kinds of accessories and tools and... things...
