Normally PPB don't care for walnut heartwood and remain in the sapwood. Triming off the sapwood may take care take care of the problem. There are exceptions.

Kiln drying will not kill them...

Thanks Glen

I've decided to copy your gadget. Got the nice little X Y table today. Already have a 5C spin index. I'll probably make a manual rotary table.

My one question is about the cutter. In the JaHo...

I have a General 260-20 with the factory VFD. One of the last made in Canada. I filled the hollow tail stock leg with sand and added a sand filled box on the head stock end. Its a great lathe and...

Looks similar to the one I used but smaller. My seal measured 18 x 40 X 9. I really can't comment on if it will work as I'm one of those shade tree machinists and not that knowledgeable.

A couple pics of my vacuum adapter I made a few years ago. I use it a lot and haven't had any problems. Can't remember what bearings I used or where I got the seal from but you can get the general...

Early Delta 20" saws had 1 horsepower motors and could resaw 12"....slowly.

3 tpi bands resaw freely. 6 tpi bands resaw smoother but take more power, dependent on species, sometimes too much...

Smooth transition with a 3 1/2" diameter idler. Their is a shop made block behind the idler for some reason.

My machine came with the graphite glued to the platen. I would guess they used...

Their is a difference. Prime does not allow much if any wane while FAS does allow wane. For that reason I would expect it to command a higher price.

I've only heard of prime in the export market...

Any fence can have an out of tolerance face due either to wear or a manufacturing defect. My Unifence shows a curved face which is not a problem unless re-sawing.

If one wants to become a professional juggler start by balancing two cauls, and two clamps on a hectic glue up.

All thread, a better way.

I had an earlier model Jet without the tilt. Worked well but check the gib screws routinely as they seemed to loosen for some reason.

Sometimes a work piece would slip in the clamp. I contact...

I plunge cut on either the shaper or router table. Sharp tooling and a zero clearance face plate is required to avoid tear out. Plunge with the panel firmly against a stop.

This is the smallest...

Yes, they are aluminum and no trouble with marking. I do keep the rings and table waxed. I'm not a production shop either.

I made new rings using my Bridgeport for my SCMI that work perfect. I would think for a real machinist it would be a snap.

I've been using West Systems G-Flex epoxy on both garden gates and storm doors for the last couple of years with no problems.

Garden gates are M & T as normal but also pinned with a dowel just in...

Schaller is in Springdale. I only buy baltic birch or exotics as retail prices are to high for me. Call before making a trip.

There is a mill in Mulberry that advertises on Fayetteville...

I'm using a old 2 X 48 Kalmazoo belt grinder with a Oneway Wolverine and Vari-Grind shop made clone jigs. All I use it for is my bowl gouges and it does an excellent job. I'm sharpening on the...

I have a 3 phase 20" Delta. When I ran it off a converter I used the foot brake most of the time. I never used the foot brake after switching to a VFD with built in braking.

I use a lot of lacquer and several brands. To keep the white I would use SW CAB acrylic lacquer with vinyl sealer. As a bonus it has UV inhibitor added. Its the best I've used in retaining woods...

I brought home a 1954 Dewalt GA with the 24” arm. It was cheap and my thinking was the base would make an interesting shop table. It sat forever and I got a job where I can use it so I decided to...

Jack, what kind of abrasive blade are you using?

I've coped for years using a right angle grinder with coarse sandpaper grits but they wear out fast.

With wide heavy boards and deep cuts I want something that grips. So....I used contact cement to glue a 15/16” board to some of those cheap push blocks. Before gluing I put some drywall screws...

If a new belt is just a hair long my sander won't tension it properly. To adjust I shim the idle end. The idle end is loose in the holder so I stick a shim in there. Usually a finishing nail on...
