It's quite a simple set up. I used one of the inexpensive, caliper-type, readouts and mounted it via an angle bracket to the framt and infeed table. I'll snap a pic and post it.

I have had a Leneave 16" open wide belt sander (3-phase) with platen for about 14 years. Basically it is a carbon copy of a powermatic painted in light grey. From what I saw all the cantilevered...

Had a similar problem with a G9961 planer. A planer is a 'hard start' and the electric motor on the machine is not the most efficient one. Turns out there is a huge in-rush current on start up. The...

I bought the 3-ph version of this sander about 4 years ago from Leneave in Charlotte. The sander works extremely well. I can even sand veneered panels. When sanding panels wider than 16", there...

Transport is not that difficult. I have a Felder 731 combo with a 10' slider. The machine is built like a tank.
Imho, you should take the slider off, if it is longer than 6 feet. With...

Rob,
You may want to look at freightquote.com. I have shipped some large items through them. Basically they are a broker. Most of the savings came by shipping terminal to terminal: You bring...

+1 for Zambus casters. I also have some zambus knock-offs from great lake casters, but they are clearly not of the same quality (pressed vs cast, lots of 'slop').

I have a Grizzly gear head drill press. Unlike other Grizzly equipment I had one time or another (table saw, 2 planers) , this drill press left a lot to be desired. Column to table is not...

Fastenal, MSC or enco will have them. Fastenal may have a store where you live in addition to mail order. MSC and Enco ore mail order.
Good luck,

Ideally, Anchorseal should be applied as soon as the tree is cut down. Applying the sealer after milling will not help much and will take a lot more material.

I have this blade on my bandsaw (Felder FB640). It will cut everything you can throw at it. Makes a nice clean and smooth cut. Mainly ise it to cut white oak. You ought to call Suffolk, they are...

You may want to check with the FOG (Felder Owner Group) on Yahoo Groups. John Renzetti used to make phenolic inserts for Felder owners. They are very well machined and contain all adjustments ( I...

I have bought from 'polymerproducts' on ebay. They sell a complete line (slow to fast setting). Good product and very good prices. I have bought about 5 quarts so far.

Bryan,

The wide belt sander I have is an open end. I have never had any problems with sanding wide sheets up to the max of 33-34 in. No issues with stability. BTW, the North State is identical...

Absolutely! A widebelt will do everything a drum sander will do... just will do it better and will do much more.
I started out with a 24" dual drum sander. It did work, BUT is was a pain to align...

I have most of my stationary tools mounted on leveling casters (Zambus and Carrymaster). Most floors are not perfectly level and most other rollers/casters/bases are not adjustable resulting in an...

IMHO this is a bad idea; saw blade bearings, etc are not designed to take a lateral load. I would think that prolonged use of such a contraption will lead to excessive wooble/runout of the saw.
And...

I have used waxilit and still have a gallon can left over. Waxilit has a pretty watery consistency and does not 'dry'. I think it is more appropriate for industrial applications where it is...

Looks like the same one as I have. PM me your email and I'll email you a .pdf of the manual, etc.

...not intending to hihack this thread, but I am curious about your experience with your kiln. Can you share some of your experiences/success? What kind of wood/thickness have dried?

BTW. I...

I have both Zambus and Great Lakes casters. All heavy equipment (Bandsaw, 24" planer, gear head drill press, horizontal mortiser, etc) is mounted on Zambus caster; smaller stuff (sanding disk, etc)...

You may want to take a look at a Northstate 16" widebelt; Leneave co of Charlottte, NC is the distributor. The machine is identical (except for paint color) to the Powermatic, but priced...
