A slight twist of topic if thats ok. I have a Somex and a 42x. Nether give quantified settings for set depth and only a small potion of the anvil is usable for higher tooth counts. I have restored...

I would consider pulling the ceiling and getting closed cell foam sprayed, giving better insulation and an air barrier from exhaust gasses. But that might be tough to get done quickly during a cold...

My 1880s Disston came with two broken screws and missing those nuts. The remaining nuts are not split type. The screws are much smaller diameter than on newer Disstons. I dont know whether my...

Grew up in Effingham, then Danville for some years.

Maybe look in Clist for an outfit in Bonifay that sells recycled lumber. Bonifay is about an hour north. I am a couple hours east, and haven't been there but sometimes the photos show potential. I...

Also, if the replacement motor is the same hp, then your amps will increase and require different heaters. You can google for rating info on heaters and switches. I am starting my first project...

I will guess that your measurement error is larger than the actual error. You can measure the angle on 5 different pieces, preferably each slightly different angles. Try to forget the results and...

Im not a tech but thought these were mostly charged by weight. What prevents that from working in the cold?

Fan motor inefficiencies become heat also, so you're back to 100%

I used the air handler from a 4 ton ac with two cheap filters, then a good furnace filter, then a Spaceguard filter. The cheap filters caught more than I expected, but I was still glad that I had...

I have no personal experience but read a paper saying steel studs, as Frank mentions using above, are better than wood studs for reducing sound transmission.

I was in school during the transition. First day of Thermo the Prof said " there is a rumor that I require a calculator, but that is against school policy. But I do require answers to 8 significant...

I don't have one, and don't even have a shop now. In my last shop, I used an air handler with 2 cheap filters, a good filter and then a Space Guard. That worked great but I think one big factor was...

I made my bench from 2 maple planks that were just shy of 16/4. I clamped them together as if match planing and planed as if facing a board. It was my first project hand planing so didn't take any...

Photos inserted below (I hope).

for dating info, saw has domed nuts (missing 2), not split. The medallion edge is nearly flush with wood, with the outer edge being a squarish section raised...

Sorry about photos, they work for me. They showed saw, medallion and stamping of patent dates on handle. I'll work on those

I have used evaporust and it left a strange Grey color so wondered...

I've cleaned and sharpened a few, but want to do best possible on an 1880's D8 I just picked up. It is 28 inch, 5 point with 6 at the tip. My guess is that it may never have been sharpened.

My...

Seems like there are two questions. First, should cell phone records have special privacy protections than other forms of documents. I don't think so. Second question is whether it might affect...

If a new tstat has the same problem, the furnace is suspect.. I'm not a furnace guy but they have logic that can delay start for a few minutes in some situations. Maybe a component in that control...

I had a call recently from a person with a very heavy Indian accent, who said something like: "I'm from the security department of your computer hard drive.". Unfortunately, my laughter may have...

When running the dehumidifiers in a shop, you should clean the coil regularly. That might extend the compressor life substantially.

Wood expands as as relative humidity increases. But it does not expand equally in all directions. Referring to the woods orientation in a tree, the length of a board (height of the tree) stays the...
