    Thanks. Their prices are in between mywoodcutters and Grizzly.

    I’m on my third side of 4. I’ve gotten 2+ years on each side before I need to rotate. I use the machine a lot. I haven’t had any mishaps with it but it takes a beating when I run some hard stuff...
  3. Grizzly Jointer/Planer carbide insert replacement

    My G0634XP has carbide inserts that use a 15x15x2.5 square carbide insert but the fasteners are a strange T-Head Torx T25 10-32 x 1/2. The inserts have a flat countersunk surface. Grizzly charges...

    Stung again by anisotropic properties of wood! :)

    I made 13" diameter cribbage boards with 3 track holes around the perimeter. 7/8" thick, stable and dry cherry. Finished with 6 coats of...

    Interesting. I wish they would have notified previous owners of the knurled version. I will be replacing my ground down knurled roller with the new rubber coated version. Thanks

    It has been 1 year since my outfeed issues. Grizzly’s solution was to cut off the sharp points. It is still knurled but with blunt ends. It is working OK but if I take too big of bite, it slips and...

    Are extensions pretty stable? Seems like more mass than a standard tool at a bigger diameter thus more chance for vibration. I ordered the longer bits from Amana but the extensions seem like a...

    Thanks for the inputs. I'll look at all suggestions.

    I am concerned about vibration. I calculate the lateral stiffness of a 1/4" diameter bit with a unsupported length of 2" is almost the same...

    I'll explore slicing it. May get tricky due to shape.

    I have 8" z capability with a 12" z travel. It can handle up to 1/2" collet.

    To be able to machine the vertical plunge around the prop...

    Jim - Russ Crawford's stuff is inspirational. I think once I have a CNC, it will open up new ways to do things.
    Rob - I will contact Legacy. Looks like a good match.

    Can you recommend machines that accommodate vertical support? I have studied Camaster Stinger 4x4 and am sold on their product and fantastic support but it looks difficult to do end milling short of...

    Curt - Yes, that’s an option I had in mind. The part is backorder and it will probably be months before I see it. In the meantime, it seems to be working well.

    After lots of back and forth with Grizzly, they took a knurled outfeed roller part and machined off the knurling. It was a pretty crude job with the diameter variance along the length of up to...

    For those who can’t see the photos, the infeed roller is a serrated spiral and the outfeed is a kurled roller with pretty sharp points.

    I have asked for a smooth roller replacement but they no...

    Glenn - Unfortunately for me, I think you are correct.
    I'm going to ask about swapping out rollers. So far, I'm disappointed in their responsiveness.
    Thanks for your comments.
