    thanks for the link - finally an end pic of a gouge

    That henry taylor link was very helpful. I looked around but couldnt find anything similar on my own.

    not worth the gas back to HF

    I dont live near Harbor Freight so its not worth the effort to return them. I ordered the HSS set online from them so it should be here in a week or so. The place was so disorganized I didnt even...

    I think none of them are bowl gouges

    From the videos I have been watching it appears that bowl gouges are much heavier stock, with deeper flutes. They almost look like bar stock with a v notch cut in them. Since all 3 of mine appear...

    newbie question about gouges

    Just got my lathe a couple of days ago, and picked up a cheap set of Harbor Freight tools (the 10$ set instead of the 30$ HSS set, I grabbed the wrong ones). So now I cant figure out what kind of...

  8. Yup feeling much better

    I filed down the edges of the table, and applied some Ford tractor paint that I had. Its almost a perfect match to the delta grey.

  9. Amazons response was top notch

    I finished the assembly on the jointer and found a couple of other problems. The outfeed table adjustment was busted, and there was a broken stop screw on the infeed table adjustment.

  10. Good point about table alignment

    I will finish the setup and verify everything is ok. Then call Amazon and see what they will do. It seems odd that they would pack a 225 pound peice of cast iron in styrofoam. When the table was...
  11. Delta 37-275 X5 - Amazon deal arrived today - slight damage

    I am not sure what to do. I was ecstatic when my wife called me at work today to tell me that my new 6" delta jointer was arriving today via freight. I almost didn't buy it since I am over-budget...

    Cool website Bret

    I also bookmarked your website, and its keeping an eye on the Makita for me. It seems strange to me after looking at your graphs that the price would jump so much in one day. But its ok, I'll...

    Freud SD206 - any opinions?

    I was looking at this one on Amazon, it looks like it might do the trick.
    Its 85$, as opposed to 200+ for some of the others (Yikes!)

    Do these things last a long time I hope?
