Thanks Jay. I heard the stock motors were some screamers. It's certainly a nice saw and with $340+ of extras with the guides and bandsaw blades, a buyer could view it as buying a bandsaw for $800...

I've determined I have too many tools in my space so I'm selling my lovely little CB75f resaw bandsaw.

It has a newer Stellite-tipped blade (3 inches wide).
It has a new, unopened...

Well, I've gone without heating/cooling for the past few years and it was sufficient but I'm now ready to address this. I'm adding a partition wall nearly down the center of our building for the...

This advice is worth 1000x's it's lead-printed weight in unobtainium (~ a rather confusing way of saying: it's priceless)

Also, Tasai are considered.....expensive chisels. That might be the only...

Thanks for the thorough explanation Mike! I'm understanding better what you ran into.

Warren, you are in a different league when it comes to time with the tools so I defer to your judgement for...

Could you elaborate on this? You were routing out 2" thick Padauk pockets? Were you doing this in a single pass? Just curious about your process and where you ran into power limits. I don't run into...

Warren, I'm certain you are an accomplished woodworker given your posts/posting history. Don't you also believe there is a healthy fear with all woodworking tools? Routers are not exempt and if we...

Hi all,

I have 2 Jess'em Mast-R-Fence II's available for purchase. One has the original box, one does not.

I also have one Mite-R-Slide attachment for the fences. Used twice.

Thanks Bill and Joe. I think that has me up to speed on my current bearing needs.

I'll be stopping by the local bearing shop (if the ice outside will allow) to see what NGLI#1 they have for the...

Superior is definitely subjective but your answers help explain why you were so reductive about Japanese tools and practices.

Superior to you doesn't mean superior performance, necessarily. It...

They do not have zerks. The only available zerks are for the cutterhead on the planer (and jointer). The manual suggests adding grease but I wanted to be certain I used the correct type. They have...

This sounds like an attempt to reduce something unnecessarily.

Would you mind answering some specific questions?

Do you believe metal body planes superior? Do you believe all steel plane...

Thanks Bill, I'll start looking for NGLI#1 grease. I found a local supplier who stocks Lubriplate 1552, which was suggested to me for the cutterhead bearings so I'm going to see if they have any...

Thanks Jim. I tried to say as much above but I appreciate you putting it out there for anyone wondering how that would work.

I was trying to say for a 4 knife head, you should have:

4" 12"...

Someone suggested to me that I should get two knives for each slot on the cutterhead so they can be knocked down and put back in and swapped to remove any nicks that develop.

For instance, if...

Thanks to Joe for putting me in contact with someone who had a manual and was kind enough to get it to me. It was a huge benefit in getting the rollers out.

Thanks for the info Patrick, the machines are actually late 90s but I can still handle a recover every 2 decades without a worry. I wonder if it'd be easier to find a maintenance manual for the T45...

Yeah, since I'm completely new to this level of machinery I think I omitted some steps after I transported them to my shop. I didn't do a thorough inspection after unloading and I didn't recalibrate...

I removed the covers and found some more pieces to the puzzle.

One of the metal plates has been twisted in the picture below, you can see the red square (this is likely part of the problem...

Thanks for weighing in Joe. I really appreciate any input since you've seen more German arn than most. I'll take some more pics to hopefully help us get this riddle solved. I'm anxious to get this...

Hi Patrick, thanks for doing that search. Sadly, unless I'm missing something, most of those are sales brochures touting the specs. I still haven't found a manual that shows exploded parts diagram...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm reaching out to Scott and Sargent and Western Roller to get their take on the rollers. I'll post more pics of connection points between the rollers and the...

Thanks for the lead Phillip, have you done business with Western Roller before?

The boards I've been feeding into my planer have started to stall about 2/3 of the way through. I can go to the other side and pull them out but I decided to open up the planer and found the rollers...

Joe, thanks for the history on the companies and parts. You are a wealth of knowledge.

Greg, appreciate the input.

Brian, I may just do that in the fall. I've got a few projects I want to...
