Thanks Rick, I always enjoy when someone agrees with me ;)

I'm curious how big the wheels are on the 16" Delta. This unit has 7.75" diameter wheels.

And, what do you have for band saws now?

I read quite a bit about 3 wheelers online before buying this thing so I'm aware of the need for thin blades. I could see the gears turning in the previous owners head when I mentioned that three...

It is a model 3920. Three wheel. 20" capacity. It was apparently made it Taiwan. I got a manual from Wilton but they couldn't tell me much more else about it.


A) I'm curious if these were sold...

What technique do you suggest for checking this?

I had assumed that the riser block would have internal keys that make it easy to align. But that's just an assumption. Here are some pics. I am definitely surprised that the block isn't cast in a way...

Yes, I have the pin and I'm planning to get some table inserts with my Carter order of a new 3/8" greenwood blade.

I've looked at a few of the Alex Snodgras videos. I do think the table should...

Aha! eccentric shaft!
Thank you for bringing the manual into this. I'm going to see if I can find that in the manual I have. I don't recall seeing this section.
And yes, that slot will need some...

Well, that's an interesting idea. I'll have to spend some more time finding some measurements.

I'm finding that once I tighten the main thumbscrew, it pulls back into exactly the same position, which I think is a good thing.
wrt the bottom of the hex shaft and that set screw, I've tried...

I just got a 28-200 14" bandsaw with riser kit from the late 60s. I've been playing around with adjustments and it seems that the blade should be centered better between the top guide blocks. And...

The last time I got a quote on Apple ply it was about double the cost of BB. That may have been 20 years ago. As I understand, it is made from domestic birch (The use of the word 'Apple' in the name...

I don't mind pine for some things. Stained with a warm yellow or orange stain etc.
But this IKEA piece caught my eye and I couldn't shake how wrong it looked, aesthetically. I might almost call it...

Aha!

So, does this look like Radiata? And is plywood like this (thin plies) available in Australia? Southern CA?

btw, I've been lumping Fir and Pine together so far in this thread. I should probably not do that. But my intended contrast was between these kinds of wood and Birch.

Ok, so I saw a comment about CDX. And Radiata as a specific brand that HD appears to carry. But I don't think I've ever seen pine plywood with plies as thin as this. I had, until now, speculated that...

I recently (Oct 2022) walked through IKEA and spotted a piece of "furniture" made of a thin ply plywood. The plies appear to have a thickness similar to baltic birch, a material that I've seen in a...

I won't go into what I'm making but most of it is not cabinet backs that are hidden for their entire lives or other general wood working. Stability, strength, machinability and indeed even exposed...

That sounds like fun but it's going to be quite a while before I'm looking at buying or building a press for this kind of thing. *

As far as complete sheet thickness, I've used 6mm, 9mm (might be...

I've been using various grades (and sources) of baltic birch plywood for many years and it's one of my favorite materials for a lot of applications. I've heard of Apple Ply many times and understood...
