So now I'm wondering what would be Stu and David's recommendations for O1 and A2 sharpening stones (like Sigma Power, Sigma Select II, Naniwa superstones, shapton, diamonds on a plate), and what...

How well do the Sigma Power Stones cut D2, cpm-v3, and cpm-v10? I'm hoping to get some Ray Iles D2 plane blades, and as soon as John Payne is able to get his chisels and blades through testing and...
Anyone have an idea of what Make of planes these are?
I was guessing a Stanley #5 in front and the back is #7 ??
Is there some ingrediant list for the "alky bath" ? I thougth about using it, but never found a good list.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
:confused:
I was spinning it up to remove the bit and BAM, if dropped to the ground.
I'm not sure what I might have done wrong, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Anyone have this happen to them...
I have a 220 Shapton glass stone that I need to flatten and I saw that the diamond plate is only used on the 500 and up stones. What could I use for the 220? some 100 wet/dry on glass? or a lower...
I have a live oak and a couple of water oaks, that I have to take down and I wondered if it was worth it to try and save some for turning?
It would cost me less to buy lumber from my local...
For the price you paid, I'd say you have a great gloat :D
I'm sure you'll love using it.

I've been thinking about upgrading to a shaper and one came up for sale that was bought but never used (supposedly). It's a Jet Model JWS-22CS 1 1/2 HP Shaper and the guy wants $600 for it.
Do...
I'm with Steve on the "grow into" advice. I have little experience in turning but have grown to love it and I don't regret buying the 2HP jet at all (along with far too many tools to along with it)....
I've a $300 ish budget for a saw. I have been saving for over a year and kept my eye out for a used saw, but haven't had much luck. Would these saws be enough for cutting out bowl blanks? Should I...
Is a Thomas vacuum pump model 2650CE37-989F (110v) a decent vacuum pump for using for a vacuum chuck system?
I'm trying to get a vacuum chuck system together and I'm not sure what pumps are pretty...
Hi Tom, how is the ballest/tool storage coming? I'm thinking I'd do the same as you. I can't tell from you pictures, is the ballest box suspended on the legs or sitting on the "feet" of the legs? ...
I'm working out of my garage and sharing the double garage with the LOML's car. So space is at a premium. I had my little lathe up against the wall and I was going to put my new Jet 1642 in the same...
Thanks all, I messed up with the 10/3 reference. I was thinking I'd use a 30amp breaker I already have (was going to power up a well pump), so that would mean 10/2 and the associated 30amp plugs. ...
Well, I fell into the vortex, and instead of saving to buy the mustard, I went ahead and ordered a Jet1642 from ToolNut while the sale was going (thank you all for your recommendations).
Only...
I order mine from Tool Nut just this morning :D
I had been saving for the PM3520b, but with such a great deal and all the capabilities of the Jet, I don't think I lost much going with the Jet.
Some of the owners have posted already. I'm so close to buying the Griz 12" planer/jointer with the carbide head. I'm thinking it will be my next purchase. Reports of it have been good. Here's...
a few more shots
I bought this from a aircraft interior scrap sale. They said it was macassar ebony, but I've been looking at other macassar I have and I'm starting to believe it is something else. Anyone have any...
Did you call the web store number or your local woodcraft? I've been thinking I'd wait till the 15th's sale before pulling the trigger, but this would be the best of both worlds.
count me in
I have been sucked into the vortex. My little turncrafter pro has caused me to want to jump head first into the vortex. I'd like to try and do some bowls and plates next, but I'm not sure if the...
Seems good so far.
I recently bought the saw, but I do most of my operations on other saws or by hand, so it has not been used much.
I've never owned a full cabinet saw (or anything larger) so...
If I understand what you want, then you want an pneumatic impact wrench. Like an Ingersoll Rand 236 - 1/2" impact. I have had mostly IR's and they've been great (you can even rebuild/repair them). ...
