Matt, my post may have been confusing. I already pressed the bearings onto the shaft. Now I need to install them into the endcaps.

Yes, to ease installing on the shaft. I also read about freezing shaft and heating bearing, but I didn’t need to add those steps. I’ll try freezing the entire shaft and bearings before installing the...
I’m replacing bearings in the motor of my Bridgewood 8” jointer. First time I’ve done something like this. Shaft bearings went on smoothly in a press with a light coating of oil on the shaft. The...
I’ve decided to add a 4x4 section of slatwall. There are no local sources. I’d like a design with metal inserts, and a brand that also sells the various attachments. Any recommendations?
Thanks
In. Thanks
The correct answer is the multi-tool with plunge cutter. No doubt. With minor chisel cleanup.
Dave - good idea. I’m in central Va.
Slight switch of topics. I’ve decided to build it completely. Plywood top, MDF sides, with an additional “side” which will have several shelves to function...
Tried unsuccessfully to add a photo. Imagine a plywood top , 7 ft long. Two MDF side supports (legs) and a third support that will create three mini shelves. So instead of the typical drawers or file...
I use mine frequently. Most recently to help position boards when building a shed as a one man job.
We both agree it isn’t worth putting too much effort (or good lumber) into this project. But I do want it to be a learning experience. So we decided today to use “shelves “ instead of drawers. We...
Thanks Jim. This will definitely be a gaming/keyboard desk. I need to come back for advice with more specific questions.
My son wants to build a desk (he’s 14). We’ve got a lot of other projects going on, so this one won’t be built from scratch. Where can I find premade cabinets with drawer options? I haven’t shopped...
So, if you had an extra cabinet and nowhere to put it at standard height, would you still use it if it had to be high enough that you could only use it with a step ladder? I guess that’s no...
Great suggestions in this thread. My take home (for my situation) is a mix of drawers, cabinets, and open shelves.
I got lucky today and bought 4 very large cabinets with maple doors for $80. Can’t...
I’m not familiar with clamshell style cabinets. Could you point me in the right direction?
What are some ways to utilize upper wall space for storage? I would like to be able to tell you exactly what will be stored, but I’m nowhere near being optimized. These locations would be standard...
My jointer has knives that are 0.125” thick. Can I replace them with 0.09375”?
Thanks
Good stuff. Luckily I don’t need to be precise. Hopefully one blade will work, but will buy some replacements for my friend who leant it to me.
Tom, there is a post that butts up to the board I need to cut. So no clearance for a jig saw or sawzall blade.
I borrowed a multi tool from a friend and will try it out this weekend.
Thanks Bill. You read my mind on the next question about the motor bearings. I think the jointer was manufactured in 1995 and it hasn’t been in use since I bought it in 2004. The motor is Marathon....
And I could use a second (or many more) set of eyes.
I'm replacing cutterhead bearings on a Bridgewood 8" jointer. The manual calls for 6204 ZZ. It actually had 6204 ZE Nachi bearings. From my...
Fingers crossed. I just purchased my first mobile base, it was a Grizzly, and I was impressed. Hoping for another.
Add a honing jig to my list of available tools!! I woke up early with this tool floating around in the ether and found it immediately. That’s what happens when life laughs at your plans and you go...
You both generally covered my questions plus lots of great points . I suppose I wasn’t sure how the higher waterstone grits would be combined with lower sandpaper-on-glass grits assuming I needed to...
You could try contacting Wilke Machinery even though I don’t think Bridgewood exists anymore.
