There's one for sale near me. I assume the table can be taken off the base without too much trouble. Any idea on rough weight of both table and base? Any thoughts on the jointer in general?

We have an air recirc system running off an old 24hr timer. I'd like to replace it with a new digital model. I found one but I'm not sure it will wire up. The old timer has 3 wires (red, black, white) coming into from blower motor wired to corresponding colors from timing unit. I attached a...

Anyone have cam levers for locking their tables instead of twist style? Im thinking it could be a good upgrade as mine are on the underside as opposed to on the front.

I've filled this transition at previous properties with Sitka in the past. This gap is quite a bit wider, deeper, and the slab has broken areas at edge. What's the best to fill it with?

I have a 5hp 20 amp RPC that has happily run my mill, bandsaw and previous lathe for years. They are all 1hp motors. The 3 phase comes from RPC to a 3 phase safety switch where each leg goes through a 5mp fuse then on to whatever machines are wired in. I just wired up a new to me lathe with a...

Anyone else have one? I got one couple weeks ago and have been using it pretty hard. It has some curious mildly irritating behaviors ... wondering if they all do or if it's just mine. 1) Stops under hard load. Generally not a big deal...just release trigger and start again. I'm guessing this is...

I inherited a new in box winch from my dad. I'm going to be doing some clean up of some logs on the property.. basically skidding up to the driveway. I'd like it to be able to winch out vehicles if need be as well. So what's a good option for rope? How about length?

Anyone have good long term experience with an electric shop heater? Lots of conflicting reviews as to performance, durability, etc. Looking for a brand recommendation. Hard wired, single phase, 6500+kw 21x30 well insulated. Want to set it at 50 degrees and forget about it in W MT. (zone 2)...

I'm a fan of quality tools.. Made in US tools often, and can appreciate why they can cost more and what goes into making them whether vintage or new.. but... it's always stuck in my craw that there's also gratuitous absurd price gouging whenever something is for 'industry'. Don't know if it's...

The idea of using way oil in chucks has been bandied about on the web. I tried it a while back in my 3 jaw, but just went back to Bison grease when I cleaned up the chuck. Feels much better.. the chuck can actually tighten progressively where as with the oil it would stop tightening in an on/off...

This came out of an old wooden toolbox that's been in my family a long time.. think wooden planes, chisels, lots of hand saws (and everything to keep them tuned), brace n bits, brazing irons, etc.. so < 1900 based on the tools and the info I have. Original owner worked for Northen Pacific in St...

Anyone have info on E.D. Williamson files? Did a search but seems to be a paucity of info. Anyone heard of E.D. Williamson? I originally had it incorrectly posted as 'SD Williamson'. Further cleaning revealed the S was in fact an E. Still no info that I can find.

Here's some pics of a steady I made. I downloaded a cad program free from emachine shop, printed the drawing, cutout a cardboard template to 'ground truth' the dimensions and had it cut from plate a bit over/under dimension so I could finish machine. The bearing is 70mm id.. cheap ebay score. I...

We had a 16' garage door with no man door access to the garage from the outside..it really sucked constantly having to roll up a big door just to grab a bike or whatever. Especially since I heat the garage in the winter (No cars allowed). I searched around high and low on the web for info on...
