There is no blade guard that will work for all needs. It will depend on the cut and the size of the work piece. When ripping solid stock is when a splitter is needed, with a provision to prevent the...

One hand on the handle and operating the trigger, the other hand on the motor housing or front handle, if it has one. The wood should always be clamped down somehow. The guard should always be...

I use a ceiling mounted Brett Guard, and when needed, I have a Delta Pop-Up Splitter to pull up into place from below the insert. I also have a laser line generator mounted on the ceiling for use...

I have never had this problem with my 735, but I remember reading that others had experienced this problem with the 734 and 735 planers. You might do some website research about this here and on...

Sorry, but at this great distance, it's quite funny, and I'm very glad that it didn't happen to me.

Why did it have the oil in it? Submersible? I can maybe see a submersible pump being full of...

After using my DeWalt 735 inside my shop once, I now do all of my planning outside the shop on the driveway, using the DeWalt hose/barrel cover accessory that was originally available for it. You...

In most cases when using routers that were made in the last 30 years, the nut and collet are snapped together before installation. To remove the bit from the collet, all you need to do is to loosen...

Tom,

Attached are a couple of photos. Sorry, cell phone didn't like looking at clothesline winder up on the ceiling next to the light, bit I think you can see it OK. I'm making some boxes and will...

I frequently use vacuum chucks to hold my work. 14.7 psi atmospheric pressure works quite well.

For the drop to my bench and hand held sanders, I wanted a work loop tp make it easy to move my sanders around the bench, yet not drag on the bench or work. I wanted to do something for both the...

Bearings have numbers etched on them. Replacing them with identical is easy, but there are also cross references to other brands. There is at least one bearing/power transmission store in every major...

For making box joints, if your box joint jig is adjustable like the Incra I-Box jig, it doesn't matter what the width of the box joint blade set is. You just adjust the space between cuts to equal...

The biggest error problem when using a Dowelmax is when the jig is not placed on the same side of the work pieces. You need to work and mark the face sides of all work pieces and reference your...

These drives are hard on belts. As the belts wear they become narrower. I don't own that model, but do own a bench top model with the Reeves variable speed drive and it has eaten several belts in...

Actually, using a dado blade to make these is quite safe. With the box end on the saw table, the dado blade is completely covered. The feather board holds it down. You raise the spinning dado blade...

I have done similar. A dado blade in the table saw set to the desired angle will do the cut. Stops added to the saw fence will limit the starting point and length of the cut. Predetermine how many...

The outside of it is beautiful. I would want it to show more than the interior, but being able to see both sides should be high on your design goal. Hanging it in a stand so both sides can be seen,...

They are all right. Replace the motor is the best and cheapest way, unless the motor is a special design, maybe with a gear reduction or something that is integral to the motor frame.

You can run...

When I need springs, and the exact replacement isn't available, I have a favorite hardware store only a few miles away that has a huge filing system of drawers containing all kinds and sizes of...

A Google search for "Hardwood Lumber Jacksonville, FL" brought up several and a plywood distributor. Google is your friend whenever you need to find sources for things.

Patrick,

Here is a link to the router table top and fence that my previous comment was about. It does come with twist-lock insert rings, and it is pre-drilled to accept the Triton. Router....

My next router table is going to have the big Triton router in it, since it allows easy above the table adjustments and since it does not require a router lift or insert. It will be bolted direct to...

You will have a good chance of getting a replacement centrifugal switch by taking the motor label information and your old centrifugal switch to a local electric motor repair shop. They stock parts...

All centrifugal switches arc as the contacts open when the motor reaches about 1/2 of it's rated speed. That is not cause to replace it. Just keep the pitting to a minimum by shaping the contacts...

I have 2 Dust Deputy's. One is used with my shop vac. The other is in the line going to a re-purposed central vacuum cleaner that I connect to the finer dust producers in my shop, like the sanders,...
