Regarding that Nova 1624, Teknatool may still have some DVR conversion kits left. It consisted of a new motor and controller if i recall correctly--and i don't think it was inexpensive. But..the...

I use threaded inserts in exotic woods for bottle stoppers. Best installation for me is using the matching bolt with double nuts (locked against each other) and drive with a ratchet wrench. ...

Table saw has a pretty much fixed distance on one side of the blade, varying a bit with tooth set. Router table is varying from a center line with very bit change, so it may depend more on the type...

Sent you a message Sir!!

Having spent 5 minutes in the loft of your shop a year and a half ago--i think i could recall 21 of your projects just up there!! (sander is working great, thank you again!!)

If you can't find it closer--Johnson's Lumber in Charlotte, MI would be a good source for Baltic Birch. Or about any other plywood. Their South Bend store has always been willing to rip 5 x 5...

Suggestions given so far sound good. But, just a crazy thought, but being in Northern IL (i'm at the southern tip of Lake Michigan)--winter began in earnest about a month ago. Any chance your home...

I wish this conversation had been happening as i was beginning a few years ago. Though it likely would not have saved me a dime!!

Had a clearance e-mail from CPO Outlets this morning, the Nova G3...

I'm in need of spindle gouges--and this afternoon ordered the Crown 236RAZ (Razor), after waffling between it and the Powder Metallurgy. Did the 1/4" as well. I bought a variety of used tools over...

Much of my drilling is through end grain on the lathe (pen blanks). Norseman split points for my imperial sizes, for metric set i picked up Viking. Real happy with how true they run, flutes clear...

I'm no help to Howard, but Lee...i've looked at adding an Infrared Repeater in the past--just never did it. Here's a sample: ...

Great to know--thanks Mike. I'll have to revisit that in the spring--it's only about 50' to run an underground natural gas line from the house.

I took a look at overhead radiant a few years ago (24' x 36' garage/shop, concrete floor, with snow that would come in on wife's car--my car lives outside). I liked the idea, but if i recall...

Even if it's the controller board instead of the motor itself--motor shop may have line on a rebuilder of encoders. I've had a few simple ones rebuilt by a client's shop, but he retired a few years...

If they don't have it, i'd guess that Carbide Processors could make it. Looks like he carries 13 different stock .135" kerf, but they are all 12" and up. And you could spec the grind as...

Bob--i'm hoping you get a buyer soon, as i am really tempted. Don't put me in line in front of a firm offer, but if it sticks around a few days send me a PM and i'll check with my CFO!!

I've built my hobby shop one piece at a time, almost 100% used buy/sell/trade-up. Have read of great deals picked up at auctions, but those sound rarer than stories of seeing stuff sell higher than...

I've not moved a lot of machines, but when i do i like to lower the motor onto heavy styrofoam (like pink insulation sheets) to cushion it's weight. Smooth roads are not really smooth once you get...

Bill--that is a 5 hp motor. There is a dot-shaped stain or mark in front of the 5, so i could see where you'd think 1/2 hp.

I agree with Lisa on my Mast-R-Lift--very nice. I have the Incra version which is the same lift but with the MagnaLock rings. I added a set of the Clean Sweep rings--which i use most of the time...

I turn a pretty fair number of pens--and the slimline is a tough pen to get right. Not much meat at the ends of the tubes, and though they're "slim", they reflect turning that isn't quite right. ...

Perry--I don't need any of the hardware you'd listed, but would have an interest in the wood if you decide to post it. Wouldn't even need it trimmed up--i usually start by rounding between centers...

Had to read that twice--still want to make sure i got it...UPS propped the box against the garage door, a family member (no need for titles here) ran over it...and Woodpecker's replaced it?? That's...

There was one on South Bend, IN Craigslist a few months ago, guy wanted something like $300. 3 phase, and dedicated 460 volt and he had no means of testing. Was really tempting, but a few searches...

I lust for their drill press table. Don't know that it would be a tremendous improvement on the one i made--but it sure would look more impressive.
I do us my Delve Square a lot.
