8/4 white oak is incredibly hard to dry. Cupping is no surprise to me.

Days of cheap shipping are long gone.

I replaced the switch on mine with a double throw light switch from the box store. It's been working like that for about 20 years.

No Google at your place? Veritas MKII, Worksharp, Burke Sharpeners, Chipping Away Power Sharpener, Sorby Proedge, etc.... There is also a carving tool resource right here....

Here's a quick and dirty fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-8TnHhpM1A

I've seen people call a tree branch a log. What are the dimensions and weight of your log. The trunions under the table will be the critical parts, and no one knows what the engineered weight limit...

Personally I would have the shaft trued up and then add a sleeve. Laser spraying is usually reserved for electric motors.

Is the blade running true? If the motor blew, it wouldn't start.

Could be the centrifugal start switch is not kicking off. Does the motor get hot quickly?

The ones I use are #1 square drive.

Cut a piece of wood to fill the gap and just wedge it in. Second option is to raise it up so she can't see behind it. You don't want kids ringing it anyway!

If 10 people reply, you will get 15 suggestions. Good luck. I stopped suggesting tools, it's a huge waste of time. All of those you are looking at will sand wood.

Clear of color makes no difference, it's the viscosity that makes the difference. I'm seldomly pleased with spraying polyurethane varnish. The first thing you notice is the hair on your arms get...

I made my first rail about 30 years ago. Take a piece of 1/4" plywood, and fasten a piece of 3/4" plywood on top. Mount the 3/4" plywood so your saw will trim the 1/4" base....

How deep are you hollowing? What wood species? What speed are you turning? That tool is more of a scraper than a hollowing tool. The blade is too wide for fast cutting and the shaft is a bit...

Won't you have to use something like a diamond wheel to cut carbide?

A knee mill in a wood shop would quickly have the slides and threads gummed up with a goo from the way oil and sawdust mixing together. The spindle speed is slow for cutting wood. A Domino machine...

The lake needs a bed? All the dimensions are a nominal number and most mattresses are undersized. Ask your wife how much room she wants for her hands to put on the fitted sheets. 3 1/2" is a huge...

Brake cleaner is acetone and will soften or remove paint. Kerosene is a common cleaner that also lubricates a little. I would never use the wire size to determine the breaker size. Someone could...

Not all cup centers are free wheeling. Some turners use a fixed cup center to drive a spindle while they are learning. A catch with a skew is not bad when the cup center in the headstock can spin...

I added the planer knife attachment on my Jet version. I couldn't be happier doing my 12" jointer and planer blades. Not every machine feels just right when you use it for the first time.

That is a pretty small cross section of cast iron, but it's hard to say if you overloaded it or not. You are the only person who can say just how hard you loaded it. I would say that a wood vise...

Lexan or polycarbonate is so soft you can pull a curl with a hand plane, and then bend it cold in a sheet metal brake.

I've heard so many complaints, it seems that Powermatic drill presses are highly overrated! Based on friends complaints, I would never buy one.

Some import sellers basically send you a kit machine and expect you to be the quality control person and the machine repairman. They always get great praise for having a good customer service...
