    All of my stationary tools are used, mostly from the 1970's and earlier solid, American made. However, I'm happy to do some restoration work on them if needed. Handheld power tools I usually buy new,...

    I use the 3M stretch wrap as well on at least some of my Thompson handles. Certainly helps in the winter and has a nice feel.

    There is a pretty healthy after-market trade in Unisaws and parts. Looks like you have some excellent choices. My first table saw was a Powermatic contractor saw with 1.5HP and it was enough to max...

    Mike if you have the time and inclination go for it. You will have a like-new or better-than-new machine to enjoy. If you are going to the trouble change the bearings and belts too.

    In this case I believe the typical protocol is to connect to the slow speed, and run the hz up above 60 to get higher speeds. I'm not an expert though and did not sleep at a Holiday Inn so get...

    With a pancake compressor you will get maybe 30 seconds of sand blasting then wait two minutes for it to fill up. My neighbor has a 60 gal Husky from the BORG on his blast cabinet and I still have to...

    Roxul insulation is made for sound insulation. You might also use a layer of Homosote under the top layer of drywall. It has a sound diffusion aspect. Used on theater stage decking.

    I have a 141 just two years older than yours. Wonderful saw. The wheels are not crowned so I don't know that the urethane tires are right for that saw. Typically you would install rubber tires and...

    Wide trunnions sound like '60's era. My 1968 66 has them. High quality bones there if no breaks etc. I'd go a bit higher than Matt, maybe $200-400 depending on the variables. Needs work which you...

    I have a dedicated brush and pail. Just rinse the brush with water after using and put back in the pail for next time. Haven't tried spraying.
