When we got our nano filter from Wynn back in March of this year I asked Dick Wynn how to clean it. He said to leave it in place and vacuum any dust on the outside with a shop vac and blow compressed...

I use a WoodRiver dust hood (essentially a Big Gulp) which is attached to an adjustable stand. Got it from Woodcraft. It doesn't pick up many chips and shavings but seems to collect a lot of the dust...

I searched the IAP website and found the mandrel Andrew is referring to.

Later: I think this is the mandrel saver that Andrew was referring to. I also see it on eBay.

I too would suggest replacing the mandrel as Andrew says. IAP is the International Association of Pen Turners. I'm not sure what the mandrel is that he is referring to but it might be a type of pen...

See the attached link to an article in Woodturning Design Magazine by Kurt Herzog about eliminating the center band. I haven't tried this yet, but definitely will. It might work nicely with your...

Roger Davis, you PM'd me about this. I have responded. Let me know if you didn't receive it. Jonathan

Thanks for the tips, Bill. I think I will use the DC hose that we connect interchangeably to our 12" planer and 8" jointer. It has a short run from our 1.5 HP DC.

Bill,

That's a nice cabinet. Always can use more drawer space. My next project is to make a rolling cabinet for our mortiser.

How are you finding the Jet 10-20? I have read some nightmarish...

I'm not a laser engraver but as an eBayer I am interested in this thread. I googled the model of this laser and found what appears to be the same exact machine that is on eBay at this site and going...

What species of birds will use it?

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and advice.

I'm relatively new at turning pens but I think I have gotten the process down. My wife and I made a bunch as gifts for the holidays and they were well received. A contractor was at the house recently...

I had a similar situation with another machine. I used foam weather stripping to close up the gap with sheet metal screws to hold it in place. Another possibility would be to cut out a disc of rigid...

We have a Grizzly 513X2B. We have a 4" hose from our 1.5 HP Delta attached to the upper port and a shop vac attached to the lower port. We get some sawdust accumulation on the table primarily when...

We have the Grizzly 17" Extreme Series G0513X2B and are very pleased with it. We just use it for straight cuts and re-sawing.

Great. What threw me was that the things looked flat in Mark's photos.

I have our Triton mounted under a Kreg table. I got a vacuum cleaner hose from a local vacuum cleaner dealer (1 1/2" O.D. I think). It threaded nicely into the dust shroud. Chip collection with this...

I built a free standing cooler in our garage. I fastened the 2x4 sills with tapcon screws after drilling with a hammer drill. I think if removed they will leave small holes that can easily be patched.

PSI has responded to my inquiry and other inquiries regarding the pressure treated wood. Some of their responses follow. I'm not sure how stabilizing the wood would neutralize harmful chemicals, but...

I posted an inquiry on one of their three listings for the product. Haven't answered it so far.

PSI is selling pen blanks cut from pine that was salvaged from the boardwalk damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Part of the proceeds are being donated to the storm victims' fund. The wood species is listed...

I have have done a fair amount of upgrading the trim in our home and have had good success using 18 gauge brads for crown and base moulding (Bostitch compressor and nailer).

We have a Grizzly 17" Extreme Series G0513X2B which we got after reading an article in FW which compared the various makes. We use it for re-sawing and straight line cuts and are very pleased with...
