In case it helps anyone, the shop director who has say-so over repairs got back today and said those nuts are bad about galding internally. The screws are good metal, but he’s had to replace the...

Hi John -

thanks for the offer, but I can’t seem to find the trick of how to send a private message. I don’t know if I have to have a certain number of posts or what…




thanks a lot! ...

Ok - thanks, Zachary.

Yes - I took the chain loose and it’s fine. All 4 screws seem pretty tight when trying to move each individually. I’ve oiled each screw nut and bottom bushing and no...

Went to use the w-3820 drum sander at the local shop today and the raise and lower mechanism is super tight. It feels like one of the 4 corner screws is galded, but they all look ok.

Is that...

Ok, thanks for the info.

but just for curiosity, what IS that hook for? And should it be tight?

and also, should it be able to jump the threads if I really crank on the tilt wheel?

the two...

I have an older red tag Rockwell Delta unisaw and for some reason I can’t get the blade to tilt a complete 45 degrees.

It will get within a half a degree before it gets tight. I’ve adjusted the...

Thank you, Jerry, but that’s not it.

That one is beautiful, but the one I’m thinking of had more of a rounded, sculpted top with a bit of chip carving in it (as best I recall).

Hi All -

I'm going to build a hope chest soon and have been pondering design ideas.

I saw a magazine article or chapter in a book several years ago with a beautiful walnut (or black walnut)...

You may be in the same boat as me, Steve - historically very few trees around our part of the country, so old woodworking equipment tends to be scarcer than some parts of the country!!

My other...

You have MY curiosity up! I'd like to see pictures!

You don't have before and after pictures of the router bit, too, do you?? lol

I'll bet that was one loud smoking scene!!

Thanks for the advice, Fellows!

That is one thing that is so helpful about this board - we are rural enough the nearest Lowes or Builders Square is over 100 miles away, so it is tough...

Hi All-

I used to do a lot of woodworking, but have been too busy working for the past few years. Now that I'm getting back into it, I am reading about router lifts and realize I was in the...

Thanks for the info, Fellows. I ordered a Kreg with a resaw attachment, so I'm anxious to see how it handles!

Between my nephew and I, we have three bandsaws - none with fences - so it should...

Hi All -

I’ve got a little bit older Powermatic 2013-1 bandsaw and I want to get a fence for it. It didn’t come with anything but the bare table.

I’m surprised to not really find a kit...

Hi All -

Does anyone know a source for a upper idler shaft for the 6x48 set of rollers? In working on my new auction acquisition, it looks like someone really let it wear.

The model is a...

Thanks a lot, Paul! That worked fine. I appreciate your advice!

ha... That's part of the problem. I picked up this poor orphan at a consignment sale. A couple of the trunnions have been cracked and welded, etc, so I don't know much about it, other than it...

Hi All -

I’ve got a Delta combination 12 inch disc, 6x48 belt sander and need to change it to 120 volts.

The data plate on the motor showed the proper way to rewire the leads. And I moved the...
