    How do you get rid of the bow? I'm using 3/4" stock. Getting rid of that bow would reduce the thickness to at least 1/2" rendering it unusable. It seems like I cannot get a straight piece of 5/4...

  11. When to sharpen joint and/planer blades

    When do you guys typically sharpen your jointer and planer blades? I'm sure there must be a rule of thumb as to how many linear feet you pass before doing so.

    Piece wobbles in donut chuck

    I just made a donut chuck. The chuck itself turns perfectly but once I attach something to it the work piece wobbles. I know it's because the piece isn't centered exactly. I've tried several times...
