The conspiracy theorist in me says it's because no one would have to buy 2 of the same bit with different sized shafts!
For ca and/or accelerator I'll put BSI (Bob Smith Industries) and Star Bond in my Amazon cart if the price seem high - over the next couple of day one or the other usually changes... sometimes for...
For a while I could see pics now back to not being able to see pics. Pretty sure I reading correctly my subscription is up to date.
Not sure what the size is but I made a couple of jigs that bolted to the slots using elevator bolts that are available at a local hardware store nearby.
I would figure about 4 to 6 hours... then reality would hit and take a good 2 days to finish.
Pictures are visible now... don't know if it's coincidence or some changed something. Either way... Thanks for all the time and hard work that goes in to keeping this forum humming along.
I checked my subscription, good until 2-20-2024. Look through the Tech Support section and didn't find a reason. Is there something I need to turn on or off? Maybe a setting on my phone that needs...
As most of the solutions mention you need to make the outside of the pvc conductive. I'd bet a conductive paint like that used for shielding could work. Also you might lurk on a guitar building...
I don't use dowels often so I keep them in a metal paint can with a couple 5 gram desicant packs. They not be accurate diameter but a set of number drills allows me to drill a snug fitting hole. ...
For permanent or semi-permanent installation 3M likely has a tape that will work well. For tempory or templates I've pretty much stay with a good painters tape and super glue. It rarely damages the...
For routing any small pieces I'll usually use hot glue or double sided tape attach the work peice to some scrap to my fingers safely away from the bit.
I don't think you are the first to have a problem with the belt after installing a Shelix or a even a new stock head. I don't recall exactly the issue but I think it is caused by a misinstalled...
Both ca and epoxy hold magnets better if you ruff up the surface with 150 to 180 grit. As already mentioned at least recessing for a flat or few 1000ths deep set is a good idea especially if using...
Another endorsement for California Airtool compressor. Just can't beat the quiet and reliability for the money. Size it appropriately and it should last a long time.
In the for what it's worth category... I've used medium and thick ca glues for aluminum to hardwood and aluminum to MDF with a light sanding of both surfaces to remove any oxidation on the aluminum...
After cutting/sanding it turns grayish or light brown. Some say put it out in the sun for a while but I have found the rich purple color returns in a few days setting in my basement windowless shop....
If I'm satisfied with the quality and speed of the cut I stick with a combo blade... if I'm getting any burning or the cut isn't smooth enough I'll switch to a ripping blade.
I played around with various home grown router table/lift setups over the years. I recently went with a Mast -R- Lift II and very much regret doing it sooner.
Copper sheet is a pretty soft metal. 1/8 sheet will cut pretty easily with most woodworking saw blades. Higher tooth counts will give you a better and more controllable cut. Good eye protection is...
A table saw is the most versatile saw on your list in a shop setting. With limited space I'd look for a decent contractor saw with a stand and wheels like the Bosch. Unless you are working with...
Mostly, I wanted to say what a great project. Please keep us updated on your progress.
Also, I wanted to suggest you stay away from sheet aluminum for the table. I painstaking made a router...
I've had good luck making mating rings out of 3/4 ply. Silicone/screw one to the can and the other to the lid. Or just make a mating lid. A bit of thin weather stripping is usually enough for a...
I also use the pin method or tip of an Exacto Knife on a sharply cut corner. I find myself using 2 pieces of masking tape with cyanoacrylate (super glue) and activator for temporary stuff most of...
I don't believe the switch is intended to provide motor protection other than preventing the saw from restarting unintentionally after a power interruption.
