Yah, I bought new so I wouldn't have to do all this. Where would you recommend measuring it? Table? Guard? What? @BFBOB At the end of the video in my original post, I show the results of "spin testing" each wheel. Both settle in the same place. I would expect a properly balanced wheel to spin...

@2Fast agreed. Mine fails. Trying to figure out why. @RTM I switched to a cast iron pipe to minimize contribution of pipe clamp to movement. It's held in an end vise and quite solid. Is my measurement of the wheel without tire a valid method? They vary roughly .004. I plan to add some weights to...

Great idea @Sinatra . I'll add the motor only test. I have the guide bearings adjusted so they don't turn so I'm not sure what removing them would do? The unit sits directly on a Grizzly Bear Crawl mobile base and no wobble. However the garage floor has variations and the table is about a 1/4...

I've only ever had a cheap 9" Ryobi bandsaw (since early 90's). I recently upgraded to a new proper cast-iron table and wheels 14" Grizzly G0555LX. I expected little to no vibration but it's got terrible vibration. It's bad enough to make it hard to follow a line. I have an incident open with...

Worked great. The #90 fills a gap in my workbench set. Thanks all.

Thanks all. This driver was in a bunch of tools I bought from grandfather back in the 80's. But back then I suffered from a severe case of young and stupid-itis so it was relegated to paint can and wife-needs-a-screwdriver duty. As per the video below and 40 years of wising up, I now appreciate...

The tip of this North Brothers Yankee #90 has not seen screwdriver duty for a long time. How would you bring the tip back to shape?

There isn't a machine screw. I will try some penetrating oil. Thanks

I tried this but it did not come off. It only advanced the motor in the direction it normally turns. Ideas?

I researched miter saws more than a person should. I almost pulled the trigger twice. Once for the Makita LS and second for the Milwaukee 7 1/4" cordless. Both sliders. At the end of the day, I couldn't shake the feeling I was buying back into the radial arm saw problems of arm deflection and...

I'm seeing three designs for rotating the blade: Lever Handle Automatic The Weidmuller and Paladin use a lever which I would think is the most reliable way to control it during the longitudinal pull. I'd think the Jonard handle would be harder to control, especially with aging joints. Looks...

I've used all the traditional razor and scissor techniques to strip the jacket off of cables. My aging hands don't have the strength and finesse they used to. I hate buying new hand tools these days because it dilutes my collection of made in USA stuff. Anyway, there seem to be two designs for...

Accuracy is an issue. Some are better than others. Basically it comes down to deflection when fully extended. Radial arm saws have the same problem. One thought is to get one that has no slider but the blade is large enough for your job. Another is to get one with a small (7 1/4) blade but...

I'm willing to try anything at this point. WHacking an allen key with a hammer ruined the bearing so I'm going to have to tear it down. But I;m having trouble with the allen head socket concept. Which end goes where and which direction am I going? TIA

Yes. It does. I think it's the handle with it's three holes and fin.

I had a circa 1960's Skilsaw worm drive from my grandfather. I never liked the saw dumping the dust into my lap. Being young, stupid and ignorant of how to use it, I sold it at a garage sale. #regret That said, I wised up and got a Milwaukee industrial grade circular saw with aluminum base and...

I looked at getting a miter for my woodworking shop. I have one job onsite each year to build a theater set. I had picked the M18 7-1/4 miter saw to use this year and get off the extension/circular saw routine. But after seeing the Delta Cruzer, I decided to go corded for the shop and move it...

To match what I use now of course (circular saw with a grinder blade). I have to admit, the blue and orange Evolution colors are a turn off and don't match my shop decor. LOL :argue:

Well that looks interesting. In my searching, the Q700 never showed up. I like the company although some of their videos are hokey and I'm not finding anyone else with review videos other than Stumpynubs. The 7" blade seems like an odd size. Not seeing any at the big box stores. Maybe you are...

Isn't the 7 1/4" Evolution a cast vise?
