I have a masterplate bought years ago - I don't remember how much it cost, but have used it for just about every saw I own to good effect.
I have a Sears NEXTEC 12v 1/4” compact impact that I bought a while ago. Along the way picked up 4-5 batteries for it and a flashlight. It’s great for disassembling things like car dashes and such...
I recently put Sulpher Grove tires on my Jet 14”. They were pretty easy to install and have worked just fine.
I had that same thing happen with a belt sander, old unused belts that let go at the seams. Last belts I bought were from amazon, some seller named M-Jump, mainly because the reviews mentioned how...
I just last week installed a Freud 10" x 50T Combination Blade (LU84R011) and am so far very impressed. Ive only 'ripped' plywood with it
Id wait until the incra is back in stock, very happy with my 1000 (SE I believe)
Thats interesting, first I have heard of counterweighting. I found an old socket that fit the crank of my drill press (after removing the crank of course), drilled a hole in the socket for a set...
I have the Sulpher Grove tires on my Jet, but will keep blue max in mind next go round
I've tried various ways to get a bandsaw to track (Jet 14" CS). To be honest, it always seems that a decent blade has always made the most difference for blade tracking, in my experience, regardless...
I use compressed air as well, never had one where it didn't clean it out almost immediately.
I actually started using the yellow gas pipe tape that’s thicker than the white stuff, not sure if it would do any better though
I bought one of these off of eBay to use as a live center that cuts down on lateral pressure, works well for that. I think it’s just a mini live center for a lathe. I drilled a hole to match in my...
I’d agree that starting with the brushes makes sense and is inexpensive to do. After that, if it isn’t the brushes, I personally would start thinking about another machine.
I have used a Freud 8” stacked set (SD208) for some time now. Works fine, no complaints, and within your budget. Don’t have much experience with other sets though.
Very nice, especially its simplicity
I cannot answer your question directly, i.e., yes or no. But, v-belts are numbered and lettered based on width, height and angle. I have an older craftsman drill press and the belts are much...
I have a Jet 14” BS that came with the standard ‘clamp on the front rail’ style fence. I hated it, least wise because it was difficult to get it to stay parallel to any line when tightening. Just...
I have a Jet 14” closed stand model, one of the older grey or blue-grey ones (I’m color blind). I bought it used several years ago, but don’t remember what I paid, I think In the neighborhood of...
Not for a router table, but, I just bought a 24” length of 3x3 inch aluminum angle, 3/8” thick. I plan to cut a semi-circular shape in the back to surround the column if necessary and drill holes...
I have a handful of different shapes, sizes, manufacturers, etc., but, I really like the high flow air gun that Lowes sells. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure it’s all that different, flow wise,...
Hi James. I had replied to your initial thread with a couple of measurements from my jet trunnions. The new trunnion that I received was also shiny relative to the one it replaced, but honestly...
I was pretty annoyed at how cheap the pot metal actually was when mine let go. Might have been like that for some time, but the saw table had been set flat for years, never had a need to set any...
Sorry to hear of the troubles. I just replaced one of those on my jet bandsaw, a bit easier to find though, but no less frustrating. Wonder how universal those trunnions actually are.
Edit: ...
Harry Epstein also sells the PEC seconds, I’ve bought a ‘seconds’ double square and combination square from them. I know they have PEC machinists squares, but I don’t have any experience with them. ...
