That's really helpful Joe, John.
Thank you for all your goodwill in providing info and supporting images.
The manual makes it sound like pulling the motor is a breeze. I was kinda doubting the...

Hi joe, I get you on what ever they used previously. Who knows really. No squeeze out any where to guess. Isn't white typically lithium?
I think , like you suggest the length of the belt not so...

Also curious what size belts are original size. Seems like mine are not exact fit....

So what type of grease for the arbor and pulley are you using?
Are you also using the 20w20 oil for lube points or??

Hi guys I think you gave me plenty of info to get the dado ext. made.
I'm getting some good help on OWWM.org with the controls too.

Joe, 250 hours seems pretty reasonable for the results. ...

Hi Joe, John.
Here's my nut and outer flange. Can I assume if you use a dado you leave the inner flange on? How would that work with a shaper groover where the flat around the arbor bore may not be...

john, is that a spacer sitting under the nut or is it part of the nut? Seems like it would be easy to get made. Your saw is in pretty good shape. Mine is no far behind it. Completely useable as...

Hi Jim, to your original question with neighbors and dogs and eggs. It's probable that your neighbors are not capable of thought beyond their own needs and grievances. That's OK. But it's unfortunate...

Sorry guys my attempt of posting pics seems a bit unskilled. Unsure why they came out 90 to the left. I even went back and changed the image ratio to 1:1. Anyways.... Many thanks Joe for replying....

Hi Joe thanks for posting so many detailed pics of your T17.
A friend just gave me one recently. It's in fair to good shape.
Some or all of the electrical is not working. I believe the last owner...

is there actual weight limits for differing sized shafts? What is 1.25" spindle capable of spinning?

Harlan you win the golden egg. Yes the vert groove is to allow air flow as to not open all the drawers as any single drawer is slid in. The drawers typically made of sugi or paulonia are...

Much has to do with the moisture content of the wood, species,grain orientation, who dried it and the environment that your going to work and store it in during the stages of settling after initial...

I believe the LA JAck was specifically made for flattening butcher blocks. Originally with the 25* blade. The other blade just turns it in to a HA plane thought good for curly woods. That said, most...

Yup, drum sanders will impregnate surfaces with shedded aggregate and dull the blade within a few passes. I try to use a roughing plane after bulk material removal with the drum sander. Then fine...

Jim , if your hand planing why would you want to diminish the hand planed surface with a scraper? With a well tuned plane it should be a noticeable bit nicer surface than a scraped surface.

Cpeter, excellent advise. I am in the same boat as you were and had come to the same conclusion. Saves over 50%! I am going to rebuild the platen and am considering making it a few inches longer. So...

I received the Incra ( from Amazon). After returning it to Incra to get the correct plate I am very impressed. The first plate was o.k. but drilled for a 690 , I ordered the RT-1800 bore. First plate...

Ron, I think your on the right track. Experimenting is the only way to dial it in. Saws can be very species and task specific. I would not use the same saw on hardwoods as I would on cedar or pine....

Ron , this is a great thread and appreciate your willingness to show pics of your build. I know absolutely nothing about western style back saws, can you indulge me a bit? What kinda of steel plates...

But Ken,, do you own just one saw? I completely agree the if the saw cuts good, good. But I do not use the same saw I cut entry door tenons as I would cabinet size tenons. It is just two completely...

Seems you will be doing some large work! 4.5" is well long enough for most any entry door joinery but quite cumbersome for furniture work. Seems the saw will be task specific. If I were cutting 2~3"...

Don, I completely agree with you on the pins first. I feel it gets you fine results. Do you not use the same marking gauge for pins and tails?

Hey Jerry, will the 201 mill thicker than 9.25" ? My 4 post is 6" but will go to 6.80". How do like it? You get the HH?
