I don't have that model of saw, but it looks to me like the motor mount or belt tensioning is loose, allowing the motor to kick back when it starts up. Once the belt tension has been set is there a...

I need to downsize my hobby woodworking shop a bit, and would like to have a table saw that is smaller than a cabinet saw with the extension table. Is there a smaller table saw that would still be as...
A friend of mine has this drill press, which I have used a few times. It's quiet, smooth, and seems to have plenty of power. Its' really nice being able to adjust the spindle speed with the turn of...
A friend asked me to help him sell his Blum Juniorpress, unless I'd like to keep it. A quick Google search turned up almost nothing, so I'm assuming it's discontinued and must not have been sold for...
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...
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...
In what way are the stock guides not meeting your needs, and what improvement would you like to see from the new guides?
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...
I think you nailed it, Richard!
It depends on which Powermatic gold you need. There was at least one shade of metallic gold and at least one shade of mustard yellow. There is some paint information here. parts - Powermatic -...
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...
Most local glass/window shops have a plastics supplier and can likely order what you need. Places like onlinemetals.com also sell a variety of plastics.
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...
Is this a Unisaw or a Contractor Saw?
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...
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...
Another option is ceramic guides and thrust bearings, which are available for the MM16. You might see how they compare in price to other options. Mini Max | SpaceAge Ceramics
Hi Erik, You mention that Centauro is no longer making bandsaws for the SCM Group. Do you know who is now making the MM16 and larger bandsaws for SCM? Any idea how they compare to the Centauro saws?...
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.
I occasionally hear of someone looking for a cutterhead for this use. Sometimes when restoring a vintage jointer or planer, the existing cutterhead is found to be damaged or an unsafe design. I'd...
