Hi David,

Any chance you still have the RC-33 knife setting jig and want to sell it? I'm in the same position as the OP. I did make myself a jig using a dial indicator, but my problem is that I...

Thanks Tom! Will definitely check it out next time I'm that way.

Thanks Jeff. I'm sorry to hear that my struggles in this city are legitimate. I strolled into Mobile Lumber yesterday and it was not good...they just offered to special order things if I knew...

Thanks for the replies. I live near Mobile Lumber, but their website doesn't list any hardwoods so I thought they just dealt in building materials. Woodfinder.com is also a nice resource, I was...

Hi,

I hope this is the appropriate forum, but I didn't see anywhere else that I thought this would fit better. I am new to woodworking, but I'm having a heck of a time finding these 'hardwood...

Yes, if I can find a split stop collar that could be installed on top of the existing stop, that would be a great solution. Thanks Lee! Although now you all have me distrusting the 90 degree stop...

I have a 113.27521 that I inherited from my grandfather. I think it's a 50s model. Not sure if my grandfather bought it new but it wouldn't surprise me. It is well-built and I have no complaints...

I hadn't considered that, but just looking at the picture I attached I think it should be fine. The outside is thin sheet metal, but there is a steel mounting plate that the tilt adjustment screw...

I am in the process of tuning up my grandfather's 50s Craftsman tablesaw. The model is 113-27521. I've read through the manual (http://www.manualslib.com/manual/497132/Craftsman-113-27521.html) and...

The first 30 years of my life! :p

Definitely and I appreciate all the responses! I would have expected this to go more like "YOU'RE INSTALLING THEM BACKWARDS NEWB" /thread.

Might be the right insert then, thanks! I'll pick one up.

Thanks Larry, I checked them out. Is the red outer ring the part that measures 4-1/8"

Thanks Kent, you da real MVP.

Success!

I installed the threaded inserts. Fortunately, the hole I had drilled for the T nuts seemed to be the perfect size. I loaded up two in each hole since they were fairly short. Way...

I picked up some threaded inserts from Lowes today. They are only about an inch deep, so I'm going to install two in each hole. Progress pics to come tonight.

I need to rename this thread "How not to use T nuts and other musings" :o

Is that the link you meant to post? That takes me to threaded inserts, i was expecting some kind of mounting plate.

Can you link me to a product? I haven't found any hardware like that, though I really don't know what to search for.

Any of these methods is fine with me, I'm just wondering what the absolute strongest will be? T nuts properly installed, or the threaded insert/coupling nut idea? I'd like to be able to drag the...

Thanks!! I will take that advice if I go the threaded insert route. I would definitely have destroyed a few and been back on here with another post about how worthless those are...;). Now that I...

Is that the same as the threaded insert Kent mentioned, or something different?

Wow I can't believe I didn't realize that :o. That makes a lot more sense than the way I was trying to do it..

Hi guys,

I built an upholstered bed recently:

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I have a major problem with the legs. I bought some tapered wooden mid-century style legs...
