I use the saw infrequently enough that it's been about a year since I gave my old one to my sister. Now I need it to cut a plywood desktop in place. For some reason, I just don't like cheap tools. It...

I am replacing my 40 year old Skill 7-1/2" handheld circular saw (it still worked but I gave it away!). Prefer a corded saw over cordless. I see the pricing all over the place and am wondering if...

. Yes, that is definitely worth looking in to. I am sure the size and thread are standard. The head is low profile to fit in the slot for the gib and rounded where it bears against the cutterhead. To...

Thanks for the follow up. I have the jointer up and running now. I'll probably just buy replacement screws from Grizzley for the next time I change knives. If I were going to replace the head, it...

Craftsman from 25-30 years ago. Jointer is probably more like 40 (my dad bought it new). Says "Made in USA" on the plate. My guess is that it isn't intended to be a metric head. As I mentioned, it...

Thanks for all the feedback. I did clean up the buggered screw head and with the newly sized wrench, I should be fine going forward. I am curious as to why the 10mm wrench was loose and the 3/8" too...

Success... I used that idea in reverse and took a 3/8" open end wrench and filed it a bit larger. The 10mm open end was always a bit sloppy but 3/8" was too small. 7/16" way too big. 10mm was the...

Unfortunately I have buggered the head of one of the hex head screws that secure the knives. Any feedback on how to get the bad screw out and does anyone know a source for replacements?

thanks

I received 4 of these as a gift about 35 year or so ago and would like to buy some more. Anyone have any idea whether or not they are available anywhere? No markings at all. The only thing I seem to...

I haven’t read this entire thread but there is a company in Aston, Pa called Devitt Machinery and they sell a resin product that is intended for repairing the surfaces of big machine ways. I think it...

I have been on the fence for some time on a drum sander. I have $750 of accumulated gift cards from Woodcraft so I guess they are getting the order and I understand the price on the 19-38 is going up...

I have had the Nova Voyager for about a year now and I use it a fair amount (for a hobbyist). I am constantly disappointed in the lightweight connection between the table and the column. The amount...

I have that saw as well and my dad bought it new between 50 and 60 years ago. I am pretty sure he paid $600. Maybe the seller has the original receipt and that is where the price came from!

I buy West 105 for around $98 per gallon and keep a quart of fast and a quart of slow with pumps all the time. It is my “go to” glue and the initial purchase is pricy with the pumps.

Find a lot of fasteners at boltdepot.com

I bought an incra 1000 and it was out of square. It took awhile before I figured it out but it was defective and they replaced it. Not sure if this addresses your problem.

I wouldn’t put a milling head into any tapered fitting without a drawbar.

You also might consider replacing the screws that you over torqued 12x. In my world as a mechanic, they are stretched and very possibly compromised.

We can make whatever kind of table we want. What we cannot easily fix is the junction between the table and the column and that is what is so poorly under built on this drill press. Just the same, I...

I have that bench top Rockwell (Delta on the hood). My dad bought it new back in the 50s. Made in Pittsburgh. For all intents and purposes, 0” runout. It is a fantastic machine and it sits in the...

My reference to "in bulk" is misleading. I simply meant that I mix the resin thoroughly in the cup before I spread it. Incomplete mix can end up with incomplete set. I'm done with this for now. I...

See West System User Manual page 36. Problem:Incomplete cure after cure time has passed. Cause number 3: Incomplete mix. That is what I was trying to communicate. I just didn't say it correctly....

I tried to reply with quote but I guess I don't understand how to work the thread. In any event, I am aware of the methods for extending pot life and have used them all. In this case, the original...

My point is simply that spreading the mix before the reaction is underway can result in incomplete set. I have done a lot of this and have used ice to extend pot life on many occasions. In this...

Is it possible that your mix has been contaminated by something? Just for example, a very small amount of white vinegar introduced to the mixture will prevent it from setting. Maybe something you are...
