Actually there is absolutely no issue with the 3 HP motor producing 4HP, except for the fact that if it does it continuously it will burn out.

That’s why motors require overload protection.

The...

Dennis, thanks for your contribution to forums over the years, greatly appreciated.

Jim, please pass my best wishes on to your daughter for a complete and thorough recovery.

I made a changing...

Jim, how would their ballot be identified?

Where I live if I vote by mail my ballot is inside an unmarked envelope inside my marked envelope.

As soon as if arrives at the processing location,...

Hi Malcolm, don't worry about blade arbour sizing, you can have all your blades bored and add pin holes for about $20 each. I bored most of my blades when going from a cabinet saw to a slider.
...

Hi Scott, that saw cannot take a 1/2" blade.

What you posted is a chart that gives a minimum cutting radius for blades, not a chart that shows what blades your saw can use.

The saw you have can...

Chris, the Felder diamond blade is not recommended for particle board due to the variable densities of the material.

I primarily purchase FS Tools blades for my saw…..Regards, Rod

There may be code issues with the machines, they may not have dust extraction for them, they may not have passed a startup or safety inspection.

These aren’t trivial issues in a school...

That’s true, however it’s not related to width, it’s related to material.

1) for stable material such as sheet goods the rip fence can protrude past the start of the blade however I normally pull...

That’s plenty accurate enough for woodworking. I bet the rule on your fence isn’t that accurate along the length of it.

Consider that you normally measure with a rule, or even worse, a tape.

If...

Hi Joseph, depending upon where you live the $2K may be completely reasonable for travel, accommodation and work.

I normally adjust the rip fence so that it toes out from the blade. With a 300mm...

It is a learning opportunity which I find very interesting……Regards, Rod

That’s true Mike, however I never do that,I find the most I need is a card scraper…….Regards, Rod

No idea what a Roger table is, I think my iPad corrected router to Roger…….Regards, Rod

Agreed, I have a modern Merkur, and my dad’s one he carried overseas in WWII……Nice razors…..Regards, Rod

Very nice Derek, did you make the Roger table?

Regards, Rod

I glued up the baby change table for my youngest daughter, now it needs sanding and painting…..Regards, Rod

DC current injection is an inexpensive braking method for single phase motors, and has no moving parts…..Rod

Dave in answer to your question

1) drill press, no

2) router, mine is cordless, and mostly wood, so yeah it has a brake, as soon as I stop pulling it it stops cutting

3) Shaper, yes DC...

Should work fine.

I have a feeder mounted on a saw/shaper, I swing it off the rear of the shaper to use on the jointer…..Rod

I have done two.

The J/P will need a starter, brake module. the DC power supply for table elevation will need to moved to the J/P, a forward/reverse switch for the motor and a start/stop push...

My A3-31 is 13 years old this year, it’s even a fantastic machine……Regards, Rod

The FB510 is the most popular saw in the Felder range.

It’s a good balance between cost and performance…….Rod

Assuming you mean a table saw.


- accurate

- safe

- good capacity

- good guards ( you may need more than one to allow different operations)

I’m glad to hear that, I feel that Norm probably did more than anyone else, through Russell Morash to popularize woodworking than anyone I can think of.

I only wish that he never removed the guard...

I use tilt about 5% of the time, it sure saves money on tooling…..Regards, Rod
