Derek,
Did the surround ring come with the Arbortech? I bought an Arbortech about 6 years back and just use it freehand. It might be nice for me to buy the ring if its available.
thanks,
Stevo

Hi Lee,
Nice writeup. I have also done raised panels very similarly to what you do with one slight modification. I had made an auxillary fence that was three sided and just fit over my fence when...

Folks,
I am trying to perfect my skew chisel technique. My question is is there any advantage to using a flat grind, versus a hollow grind on the skew. For me, a flat grind is much more work, and...

Both Pete and Curtis are excellent. I drew a angle chart that Pete used in his book, and he did a great job with the book.

I had a J-180 and with a little cleanup and paint, it should be worth $1500.

John,
Are you just doing lettering and carving by hand?

I lightly...

Hi Folks,
I am starting to draw new kitchen cabinets for my home. It will be a long term project. I have two friends who are cabinetmakers and I have gotten different answers about the reveal on...
Bill,
The H-30 s that I have are exactly what you directed to me and they are not tripping.
I am thinking that the H-12s that are tripping on the smaller motor are too light, and need to be...
Hi Folks,
Some may recall that I a Northfield 18 inch planer and replaced feed roller bearings a few weeks back.
It originally was wired for 440 volts, and I needed to rewire both motors to...
Folks,
I found my probem.
I had ordered new bearings for both the input and output rollers. After pulling out the rollers, a found one bearing on each roller with a broken race. It appears that...
Mel, i am not sure if you are saying dont worry about it or something else. I cant ignore it as it sometimes sets off the thermal overload.

Folks,
I pulled the input roller gear and the roller dragged a lot so I pulled a casting in front of it and the problem went away (temporarily). I thought it was debris that had fallen out, so...
Robert,
All of the Windsor guys mentioned are great. George, Pete, and Greg I have worked with and the others all have good references as well
Making a Windsor is a lot of hand work. I also did...
Hi Folks,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I can hear the click when I turn the gears by hand, but can't quite isolate it yet. Next I am going to unhook the chain and start eliminating pieces. I...
Hi Folks,
Happy Holidays!!!
I am getting a tick tick tick when the infeed rollers are engaged on my Northfield #2 planer. It is noticeable and sometimes its enough to trip the thermal cutout...
Tom,
I agree with you that thousandths are much easier than fractions. But for woodworking, i have an easier time visualizing 9/16 as opposed to the same in millimeters. That said, I think it's...

Hi,
I am going to hook up a hot tub on one side of a porch. There was a tub before I bought the place, which had a 60 amp circuit buried under the porch and I think runs to just about where we need...
Hi Folks,
I am just wrapping up my rustic barn beam mantle and I am wondering what kind of finish you use. I have some polyurethane so that's what I am thinking.

Hey everyone, I took Rod's and Greg's advice, and by switching the inputs at the contactor, my problem went away.
It now runs fine. I still have to rewire the drive motor to use the lower...
