I will loan my machinist friend tools, and I borrow some from him. He has an extensive collection of gear pullers I've used over the years when restoring my machines.

Last week our car battery...

Good for you. Photos of the finished board please.

I bought a 15" widebelt sander used. It was taking way more material on one side.
The maker (I won't say who) still sells new machines here in Los Angeles - they said to bring it in, would be...

Thanks everyone, I'll buy some right now.

Does anyone have a favorite place / trusted brand of Danish chair weaving cord?

thanks, Mark

I came across these chairs online, which look to me like they might be the starting point for the people who make the chair you are making a copy off.
Posting here to add to this great thread.

Last week a friend sent me an NYT article on the "Most Defining Pieces of Furniture from the Last 100 Years".
Donald Judd's Single Daybed 28, 1978 is included and is one of the few pieces that has...

That's impressive capacity. How do you find out about all these top-of-the-line machines?
Rhetorical question!

Can't help you on the electrical questions, but I'd like to know why you sourced a RAS in Europe?
You like good machines, is this one better / different to a good ol' Merican RAS?

Andrew that's got to be incredibly frustrating for you, as I know you're in business cutting wood.
Let us know the upshot.

Paul's not a young 'un. Wishing him a full recovery. And to Steven's wife too.

No. I would not do this. As well as the reasons above you need to walk around that end of the saw to pick up wood that you have just cut and this vise will be in the way.

You'll be leaning in way...

The fence on your saw is not one I enjoyed using years back. As far as I remember it tightens against the round rail on both ends of the table, and was impossible to keep square.

I have a Vega disc/belt sander that came with a built in dust collector.
Here's a photo of it the day I got it.

Thanks for re-posting the pictures, Glenn. I like the support tongue, think I'll steal that idea.

Yes, though I'm glad I'm not doing it.

Derek, you wrapped blue tape around the tops of the legs to guide the cut - how did you know the line to mark?
Seems like this would be very difficult to get right. The template use used helped but...

That is a dream machine.

The vibration issue - yes - this thread is about sorting out the vibration issue.
My time to work on the machine is sporadic and I'll update the thread when I have something interesting to...

Mike, this is an older saw that I've been restoring, for a couple of years. I finally got the time to get it over the line so I just recently got it running.
I'll look now for that rubber matting....

"Take the blade off and spin the top wheel. If the vibration is really that bad, the heavy spot in the wheel will always end up on the bottom. Mark that spot and spin a few more times. If that spot...

I don't know what the terms static and dynamic balancing mean, and I spent about ten minutes trying to get an understanding from googling the terms, but am none the wiser. Most search results come...

John, the saw runs without any vibration without the blade being installed.
The bearings are new, the wheels are all balanced, and I think they are not out of whack on any axis - but I'll have to...

My 32" Centauro ST 800 band saw vibrates like crazy, and I'm thinking of bolting it to the concrete floor.
The wheels are balanced, they have max 10/1000" run-out on the edge of the rim, just a few...
