It was a pleasure meeting Paul. He's a gentleman, has a beautiful family with a daughter about the same age as my twins, and we had fun setting it up. :) They made some minor improvements on the...
Buy the Hammer A3. Here's the master list of changes/modifications I've had to make so far, plus the deficiencies as I see them. Buy what you want, but the A3 is FAR superior from a design...
Also wanted to mention that when you're done with all of this, you then need to double check that the infeed/outfeed roller heights are correct. I mention this because mine were a real mess. When the...
If anyone in the Hartford, CT area is struggling with this, I will be happy to come by and help out in return for videoing the procedure while I do it. I've already had a couple of people contact me...
Act three:
So let's review what we have:
Outfeed is level with the head
Infeed mount side is coplanar with the outfeed
All that's left is to level the infeed side. Follow the exact same...
Act two....
Repeat everything you did for the outfeed side up to the point that you back out the mount set screws and drive the mount right down to the frame. Snug down the mount, and from this...
A while ago I said I was investigating a good procedure for doing this, but life got in the way (twin girls came, business, etc....). I just put my shop back in order and decided to tackle it. I...
Just do a search on "Custom Step Drill", and you'll get dozens of guys that do it. They'll all be a little costly, especially at 3/4", but I've had custom tools made and it only hurts for a few...
I'm waiting to see how it really shakes out. I think I'm running the "Pro" of 7 on everything anyway, but I'm waiting to hear from IT guys that they can effectively keep their systems running.
...
I generally like what they've done too, but it's the new Microsoft. They seem hell-bent on this crazy, power hungry control grab at all costs. They should back off now and go back to a normal update...
Sticking with Windows 7 indefinitely. It's very stable and reliable. There have been too many problems with forced updates taking down systems with absolutely no way to stop them. If that happens, my...
Check the packing on the spray gun. It looks like you're spitting. Make sure that the nut hasn't come loose, and make sure that it's oiled and sealing properly.
Congrats, Julie. Have you found a place yet? It took me FOREVER to get my first shop up and running. I'm really looking forward to moving and being able to do it again. It will take just a tiny...
When I read the thread title, my immediate first thought was "I'm sure George has made one." :D
Personally, I wouldn't use a mortise chisel with straight sides. Put me firmly in the tapered sides camp. They're much more pleasant to use, IMHO.
But as to the OP, being .010" or more off in...
I have the second one you posted. I just think the proportions are just right for the typical kinds of things I do, and the metal takes a good edge and keeps it for a while. It's just a very...
FWIW, the Pfeil I have may be the nicest draw knife I've used. Yep, I bought it brand new, and yep, I'd buy it brand new again.
What I don't get are the twist sharpeners for carpenters pencils. This whole "they're flat so they don't roll away" business is nice, and maybe even has some truth to it, though I suspect this was...
That's what we all were thinking. And why not? OSX is like that too.
FWIW, I spent less than $2000 for my Jet JJP12 when I bought it new several years ago. If someone bought a new one for less than $2000, it wouldn't be a bad deal...you'd get your money's worth out of...
My original Jet tables weren't flat either. They had to send me a new machine.
It's not so bad anymore, Prashun. I finally got it under control. It's a real PITA, though, when it goes out of alignment. At least, it CAN be a real PITA if you're not really familiar with the...
I just wish they'd make up their mind and give clear guidance on exactly what they're selling.
I often take a mechanical pencil and make a bevel point on a piece of sandpaper. That's perfect for marking the nut against the neck when you're trimming it to size. I guess it's perfect anytime...
