Umm........ because it Beats Working!

So...how does it stop the blade so quickly? I can't seem to find the answer.

Thanks Paul.

I took the face off and discovered that it had already been shimmed. Only problem was it was shimmed on the wrong edge, thus making the alignment twice as bad. I am assuming this...

Damon,

My fence does not have the set screws on top of the rails. Looks like they must have provided this adjustment on newer modles. If they did have the set screws, that would fix one side...

I recently purchased a new (really used, but barely) Powermatic PM66. It is now in the shop and set up except for the fence. The left side of the fence is not PERPENDICULAR to the TABLE, right side...

Thanks guys. Now I just need the cash$$$.

SawStop users.

Looking into a new or used table saw and the SawStop is on the short list. Question; Can you install an 8” dado blade without changing the cartridge? Obviously the brake would...

Planning on using oil/varnish blend, most likely Watco, over cherry. Plan to use a dye to pop the curl a bit and darken a bit.

My question is; when wet sanding is there a danger of over sanding...

I needed some in a pinch and just used old ear protection plugs. Seem to work OK, cut to fit the groove of course. Time will tell if they hold up.

Best part is they come pre waxed

Yuk!!!!

I had the same problem with my 16/32. I ended up selling it partly becuase of this. The other problem I had with the abrasive belt is that if left in one place too long (not used) it developed a...

Did you turn the Red Button prior to hitting the green button?

Fairly new DJ-20, same open top on the chute.

I was considering changing the DC in hope of solving the problem. Now I know what the real problem is.

Thanks a ton.

I also recently bought a new planer with helical head. I can only fill the bag about half way before it starts to fly up into the filter. Never had this problem with the "traditional" blade...

I took the plunge, and 90 minutes later...done. It was easier than I thought. I suspected the bolts would be very hard to get to, but that was not the case.
Had to take the motor of to get to the...

I finally bought a dial indicator and I am adjusting every tool I have. Wonderful device!
My new planer sniped like crazy, but now it performs wonderfully. I tackled the Jointer and then moved onto...

Thanks for all of your repsonses.

Looks like I will run a new cable, I just have to replace single breakers with tandems to make room.

I purchased a new planer 220V 18 amp single phase. I need to get power to it. Almost right above the planer is a J-box that connects to our oven 220v 30 amp single phase.

We hardly ever use...

Thanks guys. Ended up buying a new 15" vs a used 20". Several hundred pounds lighter and now not such a big deal. I'll follow up when the new planer arrives and is happily home in the basement.

Just found this prodcut.

Apparently is available at Sunbelt rental locations.

If it rents for under $50 it would have to be worth every...

I am looking into buying a used planer. 20” grizzly. I need to get it into my shop which is onto a stair landing from garage (mid flight of the stairway), turn 90 deg and down about 7 steps into...

Wow! Thats all I have to say about that.

Seems to me the biggest problem is keeping a wood door flat. You can insulate the heck out of it and have the smallest bit of air infiltration which wipes out the advantages of the insulation and...

The piece with the constant width side rail seems more “shaker” to me. Not necessarily from a strict historical standpoint (I don't know enough to say). Just feels better to me.

The raised...

Thanks guys for the help

I am completing a project that has a milk paint finish (pair of corner cabinets). First time using milk paint. The product literature says that the paint is very absorptive if not sealed with a...
