Thanks all, I finally beat it into submission.

thanks for that.

Anyone wanna share where they're getting their paper from? I get mine currently from industrial abrasives, but the end of the paper almost always rips off after a few minutes of running, and then I...

Anyone have trouble with their triton router getting jammed up? One of the side handles has a centered button that you can push in and then rotate the handle to make the router go up and down while...

Thanks Bill, I wasn't aware that. That may have been a problem originally as well

Looking to buy a new moulder for some specialized production. Had one a number of years ago, but it seemed that the top and bottom heads never kept the alignment precision I needed. I will buy used,...

I suppose we should refer to ALL natural resource use as a "destruction" then? Many families, maybe even relatives of yours, were housed due to these trees being felled. And you know what-- they'll...

Dowelling with moulder is just top knives making the upper 1/2 round and the bottom knife making the bottom half. If they don't meet up extremely precisely, it's good for tomato stakes only....

Looking in the used market for less than $20K. Making a perfectly round dowel is harder to do than most people think. It takes a pretty precise machine to do that, I think. My old moulder sure wasn't...

Weinig has been the undisputed champ of moulder quality for years. I need a moulder for dowel making, and my previous one just could not maintain the tolerances I needed. Another one I am considering...

My powermatic edge sander's motor is rated 20/10 amps. It was switched over to 220, and has a 15 amp plug on it now from the previous owner. Is that the right plug, or should it have a 20 amp plug,...

Thanks for the info

I have an old PM 221 planer with the built in sharpener. It has the head where the knives are short, kinda like an old version of a helical head. Can anyone give me a value in today's market? It has...

You guys are crazy helpful! Thanks so much for the information and ideas. My initial thought was kinda half-baked, but you guys put some flesh on it. Again- thanks,

I'm going to turn croquet sets for the adult kids. Anyone know the diameter of the balls? Also, what is the customary woods for balls and mallets? I'm thinking hard maple. Lastly, anyone got a source...

Another thing to consider- if you wear foam ear plugs and are a person who sweats alot, when the plugs absorb the sweat, they become EXCELLENT conductors of sound. ie, they are worthless when wet....

You can use either types of wood in the hem-fir pile for what you want to do, but if you are looking for a rot-resistant wood, dig into the western larch pile. Very rot resistant and quite striking...

It's your tree. Take it down for any reason you choose. Kinda like the guy who is against hunting deer, as he sits and eats his steak. It is not morally superior to have someone else cut down a tree...

If you heat the pine to 160+ degrees, it will set the sap that has a tendency to weep out over time. This works on softwoods; I don't know about hardwoods. It can weep for years depending on the sap...

I believe it was in a Raffan video that I saw a layout with a table/bench on the backside of the lathe. Shavings pile up and are easily brushed off, there is a nice platform for things to lie on,...

If you call the wood-mizer or one of the other portable sawmill manufacturers, they usually have a listing of their sawmill owners that they can refer work to and provide sawing services.

I did pick an unused performax 16/32 sander for $225. Is that a good price?......:D

I absolutely care where my machinery is made. I will support free, democratic country's manufacturing before that of socialist, communist, fascist, dictatorships countries, etc. I have bought things...

I like the embellishment. A fine bowl.

Boy does that birch look familiar... I cut one recently that has an IDENTICAL pattern in the wood. Before it is split in half, an end-view of the log looks...

I see a LOT of used powermatic table saws that are 3 phase for sale. How much is the most you would pay for a 3 phase say knowing you will have to convert it to single phase? What would be the best...
