I am building some large end grain cutting boards for Christmas presents. My wife wants handles cut into the end of the boards , and wants me to match the handle the she has on one of hers. These...

Why not just have the chain sharpened. There is a lot of life left in those cutters.

Got it fixed over the weekend one of the blades had a bunch of gunk caked downing the bottom of the slot which was holding the blade up slightly. Thanks

My Dewalt 733 planer came back from a nearly year long loan to my son, and is now leaving the surface of everything I run through it looking like a washboard, the ridges run across the board and run...

Two part epoxy with the rod turning on a dryer for 24 hours is what most builders use for thread wraps. For the small amounts you would need that would not be feasible. I have been toying with making...

I enjoy fishing and hunting with the grandkids. I used to be the 4H shooting sports instructor for our county, so when the grandkids are around and the weather is nice we usually end up with the guns...

Thanks for the help guys I have one coming.

My son has asked me to turn some bar tap handles for him. They will use screw in inserts that will thread onto 3/8 by 16. Does anyone know of a source for a mandrel that will match up for this, or...

If you are thinking of Friedens Hardwoods, they are actually in Franklin county just outside of Pomona. They are about 20 minutes from me.

I finally got it off the mandrel heat and cold did not work but a knife and debonder worked finally. Thanks for all the help.

Due to weather and family issues I was not able to get out to the shop last night. I hope to get out there after work today and will try these ideas until something works or something breaks Kyle...

The wood is Osage Orange. I will try that tonight when I get home.

I was turning some bottle stoppers for Christmas yesterday. I got one finished and went to take it off the mandrel, and it will not unscrew. I have tried every way of holding it I can think of and it...

I need a new bandsaw. I have been looking and like the specs on the Laguna 14bx 220 2.5 hp. Does anyone know anything good or bad about them?

I use a flap wheel on a saw polisher to clean blades before I sharpen them. Carbide tips are silver soldered on using special jigs with heat sinks. I have the equipment to do it but no one wants to...

Well it went way to high so I guess I will keep looking.

I am looking to replace my 20 yr old joke of a bandsaw (Delta benchtop). There is a Grizzly 30th model up for auction close to me. The bid is at 300.00 right now. Any pros or cons on these, and is...

Count me in Thanks

The manual I found online says that there is supposed to be a spindle lock hole on the head stock that you can stick something in to lock the spindle remove faceplates etc. The only thig I can find...

I live in a little town called Overbrook Just South and East of Topeka KS. We are not close to much of anything.

Thanks for all the help I finally got the drive center out last night. I warmed it up slightly with a torch and then hit it with -60 spray and then slid a pickle fork in behind it and after about...

I am already using a small sledge.

Okay I finally got a steel rod small enough to fit in the tailstock and the dead center came out with about three light taps. The drive center on the other hand seems to be stuck tight. I have -60...

I was just given a older Craftsman lathe. Both of the centers are stuck. I looked up the manual on line and they say to back the nut off the spindle to remove the drive center which I tried after...
