    Space Age Ceramics make ceramic guides that can be installed in place of the bearings on your Euro guides. It makes more sense once you see photos of the product. E-mail them if you don't find your...
  3. Are there ceramic guides for Minimax S45N?

    Does anyone know if there are ceramic guides available for the Minimax S45N bandsaw? I have an S45N, and every time I cut wet wood for turning blanks the lower guide bearings seize. It doesn't look...

    I have one that I've been using a while for light hobbiest use on my old Delta 6x48 sander. HF is the only local place that sells that size of belt, so I decided to give it a try. So far so good. It...

    One well-known woodworker on Youtube mentioned in the comments to one of his videos that he switched from a Sawtop to Harvey table saw because Harvey sent him one for free. So it sounds like they may...

    Move from 15" to Dewalt 13" planer?

    Several years ago I was looking for a planer with a helical head for my hobby woodshop. I ended up with a 15" Grizzly because I found a good deal on a used one. It's a nice planer, but it's taking up...

    When I needed carbide inserts for my Grizzly planer I bought them from Global tooling in Oregon. You might see what their prices are like for the inserts that you need.

    Another option is the Delta Disappearing Splitter. When you don't need it you just remove the throat plate and push the splitter under the table. Then pull it back up when you do need it. I've also...

    If you're looking for more reviews of the Harvey C14, the same saw with different guides used to be sold as the Laguna LT 14 SUV. As for a brake, it's definitely nice to have, but is less important...

    Thank you for all the replies! It sounds like the most people prefer a European combination jointer-planer, with second place going to an 8" jointer. I'm still digesting all of the good information...

    Upgrade options for a 6" jointer?

    I have a Powermatic 50 6" jointer which I really like, but keep finding boards that I need to joint that are between 6" and 8" wide. I'm considering the upgrade options but think I'm overanalyzing...

    I believe that the saw originally ran at about 3000 sfpm, which is pretty typical for a 14" saw. Louis Iturra talks about increasing that to 4000 sfpm, but says you should glue the tires on or they...

    I had the same thought. It has a bit more capacity between centers and is a huge step up in quality from a typical midi lathe. It's also a big step up in price. Of the brands the OP mentioned I would...

    Grizzly sells a selection of machine switches and starters. You might look at the ones that they use on their table saws, since that would likely be a good fit for your use.
