I've got an old table with a nitro lacquer finish. the finish is crackled a bit, and shows signs of wear and some fading in a portion. I have cleaned the top with Mineral Spirits and scuffed with...
I had the X5 with mobile base. It was my first jointer, and worked well. It's well made. I sold mine, with the mobile base, for $375 and was excited to get that much. FWIW, I paid about that much...
Shave some gulf parrafin wax into a jar of mineral oil, heat that jar in some boiled water (call it the poor man's double boiler) and then apply the wax/MO mixture on your surface. It will give you...
I'd take a nice hard look at that motor if I were you. Unless it is an American (Baldor or Leeson), I'd pass or offer a lot less. It doesn't look like you will be able to hear it under power, so...
schwarz is the Man. I bought the book, built the bench and have no regrets. I still pick up my book and periodically see ways to use the bench I had not recalled.
worth every penny IMHO.
I'm half way through installing my new (to me, but pre-owned) Woodsucker II cyclone. That mother was heavy. It took two of us to take it down, and we removed the cyclone from the motor/impeller...
So I can't find the fan curve for the Woodsucker ii I just purchased and am still perplexed by whether I should put in 6 inch drops or stay with the 5 inch drops that I previously had. I will need...
Pin oaks grow very quickly, so the rings will not be very tight. Like others have said, you can tell what the lumber will look like by taking a look at the bark. With that said, pin oak gets its...
I finally picked up my new (to me) Woodsucker Cyclone II. It's 2hp and will be replacing a delta 50-760 I had plumbed with a 6 inch main and two 5 inch drops. I had decent collection of chips, but...
the filters are not cheap. 112 FOB in Lancaster.
Thanks guys. I have an email in to Wynn.
I've picked up a used Woodsucker II cyclone and would like to replace the filter. Does anyone by chance know the Torit (or similar quality) filter part number? I'd like to go down to .5 micron on the...
I recently acquired a PM 60 jointer. 2hp, 3ph.
I have been fixing some minor mechanical issues, and also need to address the 3 phase issue.
I purchased the TECO FM50 for around $150 from...
I wonder if your issue has more to do with the duct layout and the duct sizing than the strength of the DC.
I have a delta 50-760 that was hooked up to the clear flex piping over my ceiling to my...
You could also go with the mineral oil/parrafin treatment and allow the top to get used like a cutting board. I did this with three walnut slabs and really like the way it turned out.
The top...
That would be an 8/4 piece of fiddleback Koa I picked up in, oh the 5 minutes I had as I drove to the airport to return the rental car before the last shuttle went back to the ship we were on.

I picked up a Grizz 15 inch planer a while ago and got frustrated with the serrated roller marks, so I kep using my Delta 13 lunchbox for finishing boards. Then I sold the Griz and got a Woodmaster...
So let's say I was looking at a Uni or PM 66 with a 3hp 3ph motor. How would the VFD work, and which one would you buy if you had a small shop?
I'm also curious what the downside is to having a...
Boeshield, then periodic applications of Briwax. The stuff is soft - at least before all of the Cancer causing Touline dries up. Very easy to apply, no heating, easy to find (Ace or antique...
I compeltely redid my kitchen, built the cabinets myself. I have a Uni with a 30 inch fence, and a single car garage that is dedicated to my tools.
I pretty much ignored what I had and chose...
I had a close cousin get married last june. I had been wanting to make a demilune (half round) table using bent wood laminations, so that's what I made. Actually, I made four to get some economy to...
I live nearby and of course have a number of conflicts. I may be heading over on Sunday when my kids are at Sunday school.
I have been bitten by the "I need a real workbench bug" and am very...
I just moved on into my shop to replace my series 100 Craftsman RAS.
I thought long and hard about it, but I have recently been using a lot of thick rough stock, and the 10 inch saw couldn't keep...
I purchased a used 718 a few months ago. I have used it to prep a variety of wide stock, but due to the snipe, I still use my delta 13 benchtop for narrower boards. I got a ton of snipe, then I...
