I bought a used MM20 about a year ago. It is the larger resaw capacity than the 16" you mention though. I forget the date but I'm thinking 06' or so.

Anyway, what I'd like to say is that you...

you mention VX belts and someone before mentioned BX belts. Just curious, if you could explain more what they are.

What Jamie and Brad are saying is to adjust the "vacuum switch". It just an electrical switch controlled by vacuum that turns on (cycles) the pump dependent on what level of vacuum pressure is...

You really should state what band saw your talking about here. It could be the wheels might not be coplanar.

Since you've not bought yet. Also keep an eye out on CL for a used older American made Delta or Powermatic.

yeah, looks like your posing over a slain bear there..a Grizzly bear

I'm with Noah. I leaned my MM20 over to get it into the garage. Three of us did anyway.

Why would you take extra precaution when using a SawStop table saw over say a Delta or Powermatic table saw? Should not any table saw be treated as if you could get hurt?

How do you go about getting the 15% off? Also you say 750lbs saw, is yours an MM20. Just curious cuz mine is, and I'm wondering about the load on GLC caster over the Zambus.

Is the extra cost of...

We have one at work. We commission new boats. Sometimes changes need to be made or systems need to be modified. We've had it for nearly two years. I can think of three times that no other tool...

I went to a woodworking show at the Pomona Fairgrounds about 13yrs ago. I'm not sure if this is the same show as it was then though. It seemed pretty good to me at the time, but my focus was power...

That lineup of planes is impressive. Have you done much work them yet? Or have any specific projects in the works? That would be cool to see what your doing or going to do with them.

I just...

I'm looking to get some waterstones. I read about the King Ice Bear stones recommended in a David Charlesworth book. But I've also heard mention about a stone being just a King, not Ice Bear. What...

I've been reading "David Charlesworth's Furniture-making Techniques A Guide to Hand Tools and Methods" that I got from my local library. In this book he starts off by giving a list of hand tools...

Eric, that is great the SDFWA does that. I'll check on that on my next visit. Posting this thread has lead me to search the online library system more for some of the suggestions, and helped me to...

Thanks Ethan. The two local libraries near me have a slim selection on the shelf. I am finding that I need to access the county data base and have a book sent to my local for pickup.

So I was...

I'd like to hear what good woodworking books you've seen at your local Library.

I just picked up "David Charlesworth's Furniture-making Techniques, A Guide to Hand Tools and Methods" from my...

Just curious, would there be a reason you are sandblasting rather than electrolysis?

Nice pictures and good post.

Go to ebay and type in "Fulton Plane", and also check completed items.

I found this quote on Google, not sure it is true or not:

"Sargent manufactured planes for Sears Roebuck in the 1930s and...

Sargent Planes Identification and Value Guide 2nd Edition by David E. Heckel
(I don't have this book though)

are all that I am aware about so far.

In my research on planes in the last few months I'm pretty sure that I've only heard of Union planes having the adjuster turn the opposite from Stanley's. But I'm learning too so don't quote me.

Thanks Jim, good info I did not know about the blades. That sounds like a good feature. But if it has the Sweetheart blade, oh well. It is good to hear you like your #4 Union. I'm trying to get a...

No Jim, Not yet anyway!

So I don't have anymore pictures and the seller can't provide anymore.

Stanley bought out Union right? I might be wrong but I think I read that Stanley continued make...

Doug,
I'm a newb to planes too, other than power and block planes. In my reading here I seemed to sense that the type 11 (low knob, small adjuster, three patents) was a favorite. This site...

Any Union plane experts want to share what they might be able to assess from this picture of a Union plane?

Are there any websites that are dedicated to Union planes to help find out how to know...
