Hi Jeff,
Curious if you still offer wide belt sanding services?

Hi Jeff,

It's been a while, but I'd be interested in wide belt sanding if that is still available. Let me know when you have a minute.

I did a resto of the same jointer (DJ-20) and the fence was bowed too. It's not asthetically pleasing, but I set it up dead-true at 90 degrees to the table and have had no issues. Put the extra dough...

Thanks Jim, appreciate the lead. May try NBSS (worcester is a hike from my location)

Hi,

Does any Creeker in Mass. know of a millworker/lumberyard/shop that has a wide belt sander for hire?

Preferably in SE MA or the greater Boston area. I'm putting together a few table tops...

I'd second what S. Cherry recommended: 3M 5200 is very tough, easy to apply and unfortunately, impossibly messy (wear gloves)
No need to paint the steel, just clean it. It may also have some...

Thanks Don, appreciate it. That is actually very helpful; same here, no skip planing - I use mine for near-final dimensioning.

Hi,

Do and Creekers have feedback or experience regarding the 12 tooth sprocket and chain that's used to convert the Powermatic 209 to low speed feed?

I work almost exclusively with sapele and...

Todd,

I am pretty much going through the same run-around. Having a tough time finding a 4 speed (vs. variable) switch that can handle the amps on my downdraft table motor (.75 hp, 4 speeds, 8.7...

All, thank you very much for the recommendations on finishing. I've been away for a bit, but was really pleased that so many folks responded with helpful suggestions during that time. I'll convey...

Hi fellow Creekers,

A question for those that likely have more knowledge of finishing than I do -- some nuns I know use a laser engraver to burn images in wood, mostly maple, to sell for charity. ...

Same issue on my end - the right table wing was out of whack, still not right. question: how did you end aligning it with aluminum foil Brent?

I was thinking the same Rob, even with the discount offered by SS and the freight (included) I still passed, as I wanted to try-it-before-buying.

For saws they are offering during the trial period saws, yes, the price does include freight.
36” set up - $2499
52” set up - $2559
Mobile base - $175

you know, i'm asking myself the same question. it would have been great if it was a mid-range price, but it is close to the industrial saw (price-wise)

Just heard that SawStop is consumer testing their soon-to-be-released professional cabinet makers saw with a few end users. The first production run saws will be shipping to folks who will report...
