Bill Tindall, a WoodCentral regular, experienced lumberman, and no lightweight author, posted a series of articles on WoodCentral from May through September entitled Where Hardwood Lumber Comes From...

Well, it's nothing exciting, but it's a toss up between my Uni and my DC380 planer. I'm not really sure. I've only ever moved the Unisaw by means of dollies, levers, and the mobile base, and it no...

I worked up an article about my replaceable insert throat plate which I described in Dennis' Weekend Accomplishments the other day. It's over at WoodCentral. More pictures. More words.

Yes. ½" aluminum plate.



I've been asked to make it into an article over at WoodCentral (I convert all the articles over there to HTML with the WC look-and-feel). I probably will and will...

Replacable Insert Throat Plate

I've been wanting one of these for a long time:

That's the insert with a replacable insert (what I call an oak insert insert) that Norm has had for some time. The...

Actually, when I did my shop wiring I used 12ga for the lighting circuit, too. Reason? First, that was the circuit where I knew I would eventually pick off for a ceiling drop or two. I wanted those...

Nice post, Mike. By the way, not only does the Uni come with a 6-15 plug, but my DJ-20 (jointer) and DC-380 (planer), both with 3HP motors, each came with a 6-15 plug. My shop is a complete NEMA 6-15...

I have to ask, then, why are you here? People come to these fora looking for solutions to their problems. They come to them expecting to hear from people who really know what they're talking about....

I have a page on my site devoted to more explanation than you probably ever dreamed you needed.

I'll simply copy what I posted on the wreck (usenet, rec.woodworking) to the question asked there on the subject:

I moved on the instant I saw the glue up with the QuickGrips on it. He

I think I have an idea. I can't attest to it personally, although I think you might be able to, but more than one friend on various woodworking message boards has claimed that the instructions which...

[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT]I hate what folks (not necessarily you--this goes back several internet generations) have done with this marvelous Peter Egan piece. For the benefit of all who appreciate the...

I believe the seller is blowing smoke saying that's a dual voltage motor. I don't think any Unisaw motor since perhaps the '70s, maybe earlier, has been dual voltage. At 3 HP that would be a 30 A...

Well, that just goes to show what our faulty memories and faulty conclusions are worth. I was only off by two decades. Looks like the Exacti-Cut was invented a lot earlier than I remember, too.
...

If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like something vintage 70s. I base that on a couple of things. One, the logo appears more like one used back in the day (even before the '70s). Two, the web cast...

wiring Yes
plug/ No
receptacle Yes
motor No

The circuitry protected by the breaker ends at the receptacle. The best way to think about this is to go into your bedroom and look at...

I was saying marginal tongue in cheek, that's why it was in italics. And actually, I was referring to a 30A circuit as marginal (italics again--same reason) for a 5 HP motor, which it probably isn't...

Just to illustrate that a manufacturer's documentation isn't always dependable, it would be a code violation to follow the minimum instructions (#10 wire and a 40 A fuse). #10 wire is a 30 A circuit...

The bigger the wheel the easier it is to roll over detritus on your floor. Clamp racks are not only heavy, but they tend to be top heavy, and you want the lowest rolling (and starting) resistance you...

I have no idea what happened to the images that appeared to have uploaded and showed once on preview. Very frustrating.

What happened to the old days when we could write our own HTML tags? They...

I always like to correct that, since there certainly are circumstances where you can have enough clamps. What's important to know is that you can never have too many.

Here is my clamp rack (A New...

I had to do some research, because I've been aware of El Guapo for a long time, having been on the Wreck since '97. Starting with OWWM's Delta page (largely authored by Keith, it seems) which...

The guy you want to talk to is Keith Bohn. He used to be a regular poster on rec.woodworking but he hasn't been there in a couple of years now. I believe he is heavily involved in the Old Woodworking...

Seems to be some similarities to this one:
