    Have you cleaned the trunnion gears? It sounds like they may be completely packed up with gunk.

    If it were me, I'd be looking for significant rust or other signs of neglect or abuse. Otherwise, these are simple, solid machines. When you get it home, just plan to give it a complete tune up and...

    Yes! Assuming that this is a used saw AND it's in good shape AND the price is reasonable. It will blow away your old Craftsman in every aspect.

    Are you sure you're measuring .040 and not .40 or .004? If your measurements are correct, I'd be on the phone to Craftex.

    OK Mike, try again to PM me now. Who knew I had so many PMs?

    You can certainly have the gauge for the price of shipping. It's not the prettiest tool, but it does work.

    Mike, I have an identical planer. Mine is converted to a helix head, so I have a knife gauge that I don't need. You're welcome to it. Just PM me.

    I would contact Northwood. They appear to be still in business, although no longer in industrial machine imports. They branched into CNC machines when the import market started shrinking in the...

    Those shaper covers are everywhere. You can probably get one from somebody on the DeWalt site for pretty cheap. That's where I got mine. I've used my RAS to do a little bit of shaper work,...

    I've also built two with the Create-a-Bed hardware. Pretty easy to build and modify. One thing worth noting is there is a deluxe kit which doesn't require the distinctive fold-out feet ( the little...

    That RAS does look just like the 11" saw photo on the OWWM site. If it will has the same 17" crosscut capacity as described, it could be a nice shop asset if you do a lot of crosscuts. I personally...

    I made a 2 x 4 bench top several years back( It's held up fine). I glued it up without ripping the edges first. Then I planed with a #5 for eternity to get it flat. 1/2" is a lot of material to...

    A few things to try:

    1) Lower the rollers below the table surface. They're mainly for very rough stock and a waxed table should be plenty smooth. You can always raise them to .002 later.

    I think these saws are basically fine. I had to tune mine to get (what I consider) good performance. You don't have to do that with the premium saws but you also save a bunch of money if you don't...
