Mike,

Would you mind posting a photo of the whole setup? I'm not visualizing how you have the blower mounted at ceiling level. Also, is the photo of the dust residue of the baffle system?
...

consider it similar to a corrugated-sole plane.

it's a scraped surface to get the top very flat and reduce suction. knapp uses it on their machine tops. did it look kind of scalloped? if so, metal scraping is how the surface was finished.
...

I'd snag it, especially at that price. Make sure it can actually be fixed up to a working condition (i.e. no cracked castings, bent parts, etc.). The belt is a minimal cost, and might have to...

i have the same model you have...it runs almost continuously in my basement shop in the midwest. summer, winter, spring and fall. i don't have heat or cooling in the shop, it just stays 55 in the...

i have the same jointer...free from my grandfather's workshop (after his passing) as well! the fence attaches at the end of the outfeed bed and mine is warped somewhat...keep an eye on keeping the...

harry, would you mind filling us in on the burning string trick? sounds intriguing.

Hello all. Just got done turning a small sushi platter (6" square) and my new lathe started acting up. It started making a wierd, quiet "swish"ing sound from the motor. It kind of sounded like a...

May I ask how you managed to keep the bark on the bowl? I have a devil of a time with walnut and most of it just flies off in chunks and I end up peeling the rest off. Do you treat the blank/bark...

i was just in the grizzly springfield, mo. store yesterday to lay my hands on one and look it over really well. they said it has been delayed and will arrive in three to four more weeks. i did,...

the ashley iles are tang. i have a set of six of the butt chisels. good steel and keep an edge well. the small size and thin blades are perfect for dovetailing...that's what i bought them for. i...

i'll take a picture tonight and post it if it would help you visualize what i'm talking about. you obviously have a lot invested in that saw (long rails and sliding table)...you owe yourself a dust...

i took off the 90-degree elbow on mine and attached a 2.5" to 4" stepped hose converter. it works GREAT with my HF dust collector and 4" hose. a shop vac with a 2.5" hose just doesn't have enough...

I was at the Grizzly store in Springfield, MO last week and the sales guys said they will get a display model in stock in April, and start selling in May. No one has any experience with them yet. ...

The Grizzly has a steel trunnion. I was just in the Springfield, Mo. store yesterday and confirmed it (I am considering this saw too). However, being steel doesn't mean it was wimpy...I waited...

the saws look like decent users to me. i have a few "warranted superior" saws that look very similar to those. you could clean them up with a little WD40 and some #0000 steel wool, sharpen the...

Thanks, Nic and Brad. I just wanted to be sure...even if it lasted only a few years before burning out, it is just $150, like you said. Five-inch it is.
Thanks,
Dave

Just picked up a "2HP" Harbor Freight DC yesterday. Ordering the Wynn filter on Monday and hope for it to arrive by the end of the week. Read through a lot of archived posts on the topic of this DC...

Thanks for all the help, guys. I knew you all would have an answer. I think I'll just leave the coarser blade as a rip and file the 9 tpi blade with a 25-degree fleam like Dennis said. And Mike,...

I am looking for an explanation. I recently picked up a couple of crusty, rusty old Disston panel saws. One is a 9 tpi the other is a 5 tpi, or there abouts. Anyway, I sharpened them up and tested...

Tim,

Thanks so much for sharing your handle designs. I appreciate it.

Dave

Wonderful. Thanks to you and Chris very much.

Dave

Tim,

I'm not really sure. I think the open handled ones look better, but do you think a saw of this size should have open or closed? If you have both, I might just hold the printouts up next to...

Tim,

I've got a 10-inch backsaw that says "Tyzack and Sons no. 120" on the brass, the nuts are there, but the handle has been broken off. I have no idea what the hang angle should be or even...
