Go for the Johnson paste wax, I have been using it for over 30 years and still no rust on any of my machines as long as I keep apply it, couple times a year.

Clean the chuck. I went from .010 to .001 after cleaning my Powermatic 1200 drill press chuck. Tom

My work bench sits on a concrete floor also. I used a small square of asphalt roofing shingle under each leg as shim to get the base level, then installed the top.

I talked with person at Suapa and he came up with the model number that I got. There was no readable numbers on the old strut. The new strut is a little too strong for the Bosch and so so for...

I picked up a gas spring from SUAPA, Grand Rapids, Michigan, part number is C-16 14883 20lbs, for about $30.00 plus shipping two years ago. At that time I was using PC router that's a little...

I do not do much of the cooking in out home. But when the grand kids are here I do make pancakes, on her glass induction cook top. I do like my old cast iron fry pan to make them in. I just place a...

My MM16 motor shaft looks the same as your photo. No problems in the last 5 years. Tom

I went used, a 1958 Powermatic 1200. Could not be any happier over a drill press.

You might want to do a search here using key words (Stomana & Laguna) there was some posts back in 2010 about that same brand of saw.

Out on the other coast, there is this 36" Kimwood resaw bandsaw 20 hp double power feed. Fun to look at. But a lot of money. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/bfd/5143119644.html

I like to buy used made in the USA equipment. Good prices and repairable. My go to drill press is a Powermatic 1200, not to much larger foot print then the Delta Asian that it replaced.

I have a MM16 great saw. Picked it up used off CL, 4 hp and about 15" of resaw.

Yes it does, and I have almost a complete set of Morse taper drill bits that I use for any time I do metal work. Morse tapes drill bits from 3/16" to 1 1/4". They came with the drill press. Never...

I had a 10" Delta Bandsaw years ago. Great little saw but hard on saw blades on that 10" wheel, any thing larger then 1/4" would get cracks from the blade flex.

This a older post by Hank Metz on sharping planer blades on a RAS. ww.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?203886-sharpening-jointer-blades-knives&p=2115896#post2115896

How about Black Cottonwood. Grows from Alaska to California. Tree makes rapid growth, and in the Puget Sound basin tree are found up to 175'-225 and seven to eight feet in diameter.

When I did my Dewalt Radial Arm Saw, I also had rip scales that where damaged. My son and I used Window's Excel to make printable decals replacements, they came out very nice.

If the carriage bearing have round outer edges they may be a little hard to find. Beachside Hank did a post here repairing carriage bearings. I also did the same for my Dewalt GWI...

Nice planer, on a side note, your gear box is like the Delta's planers of that size with brass worm gear. Just make sure that your gear box is full of oil all the time. The brass worm gear is hard to...

It is hard to get a set of v belts that match in size. Use to be that you got someone at your V belt suppler, check all the stock for three that matched. I have found that Goodyear's line of VX v...

Rethink the used part. I picked up a used Powermatic 1200 for $500. Sweet drill press.

When you mix oil and water in a compressor it comes out looking like what you have in the picture. I would clean it out with hot water and dish soap. If is is and old tank you may want to have...

Do you use a dust collector with your planer? If not, the dents could be from wood chips coming off planer blades just before your stock goes through the out feed roller, or as Lee said.

Try Barkeeper Friend works great on removing rust.
