I have never seen ANY 1ph motor higher than 3hp run on 120v. To me that sounds like the problem. Every 7hp 1ph motor I have seen needs 240v. Above the OP said he is measuring 119v... there is the...

I am not a fan of Craftsman routers either. I would look at a Bosch or Dewalt router instead.

Craftsman sourced their electric tools from all over. Some might have been decent but I would never...

Have you looked at the DUCTED mini split units? It seems like it would be MUCH easier to plumb a Ducted mini split head unit to a filter box rather than rig something to a wall mount head unit.

Do this work through a magnetic paint can?

Even though I supposedly only need to clamp in one direction I always end up clamping it in 2 directions which seems to work for me.

My plywood box actually turned out a lot better than I...

I just got in from the shop after 7 hours of tweaking the shaper for lock miters. It has been 15 years since I have done lock miters and those were in solid maple. Back then I made 3.5" x 3.5"...

Nope! I have one of those fancy NOCO reconditioning chargers. I have tried it on a half dozen dead, near dead and low batteries. It hasn't done a darn thing to help any of them. To recondition a...

Was it something like "I am calling to confirm your purchase of an Apple IPad from Amazon for $799?"
My reply to the obvious scam attempt was "Yep, I purchased it!"
Caller: "Huh? What?"

I received two of these for seven hundred something dollars. The displayed email address looks like a real PayPal address but if you look at the actual sending email address it is obviously a scam...

Yes, floor model with sharpenable blades. They needed to be replaced many years before I did. I finally ran out of area that had usable blade. If I had know it was so easy to replace I would have...

My straight blade planer was starting to have excessive tear out and leaving grooves after ~10 years. A new set of knives and it cuts as good as new now. I was intimidated with the knife changing...

I have owned a Powermatic 65 for 30+ years. It has been an excellent table saw. I have a Vega fence on mine but a Biesmeyer fence should also do an excellent job.

Considering the age of...

Since the RPM of a Diesel engine is only controlled by how much fuel it gets if the Diesel engine is overrevving either the fuel injection pump is sending too much fuel OR the engine is burning...

What kind of wood?

If it isn't a species that is very oily you should be fine without planning the edges again. If it is a species that is oily wipe the edges with acetone before gluing.

I have made several wood zero clearance inserts for my Powermatic 65 (predecessor to the PM66). On the first cut I use the fence to keep the insert down while raising the blade through it. After...

I love how well and fast acetone cleans stuff so thoroughly. But on reflection there is a center window (which compromises the majority of the door) which has a plastic frame. Acetone on any kind...

The last time I went to Sherwin Williams they just wanted to push what they had with not much regard to whether it would work well for my application. It did not work well. After that I don't have...

I am replacing an old exterior wood door with a new fiberglass exterior door. Both the door and jamb appear to be primed from the factory. The color will be white. The fiberglass has a woodgrain...

If it is salvageable I would say it is definitely worth restoring! I believe the Unipoint radial arm saws are now made by Northfield and I believe parts are still available.

I have always...

I would recommend perusing CL and FB market place for where ever you are traveling if you are hoping to score a deal. Lots of people around here sell burls in small qualities.

Luckily I have a large attic space where I can store Systainers and every other tool specific case I have collected over the years... I would actually hate to have to throw them out.

The only tool...

I would consider making the handles removable. Large Charcuterie boards with big handles are difficult to store.

Yep, nobody seems to have any use for old MF or LF camera tripods any more. I picked up a tank of a Manfrotto studio tripod off of FB marketplace for $20. It is by far the sturdiest table saw feed...

Do you think they are genuine SKF bearings? I always figure that bearings available for significantly lower than retail price on ebay are fakes / knock offs.

Most of the cost of replacing...

I would start with a good clean out of the cabinet. Make sure there aren't any clumps of saw dust stuck in the pulleys or else where. After that I would remove the spindle and see if the vibration...
