I'd like to know more about Dave's reply regarding a vfd for this application for $200?

I just spoke to the guys at Teco-Westinghouse today about a vfd for my 240volt 5hp 3ph jointer and they said...

I have an MM20. Instead of the Laguna you could step up to a 24" Grizzly and have money left over for Laguna guides and a resaw king. That's a killer set up, and you're dealing with a better customer...

I'm installing a Lee Valley twin screw vise on my bench and have a nice piece of Jatoba that is the right size for the chops. It's awfully hard stuff though, and I don't want to risk marring...

Thanks for the info on welders guys!

Matt,
If I wanted to get a basic welding setup to make some mobile bases and racks, etc, without breaking the bank, what kind of welder would you recommend? I was just at the local Horror Fate...

Get better soon!

A couple of people questioned or alluded to having a lower horse power saw and being safer. I doubt horse power makes any difference. The energy imparted to the wood is delivered...

Thanks for the tip Richard. Hopefully mine's ready to go when I get to it.

Richard,
Just curious how you corrected the alignment problem? I have the same HF lathe and am about to fire it up for the first time.

Been there. Many many problems. Just make yourself a couple of nice cross cut sleds in various sizes and consider yourself lucky for not taking the bait. I have a Felder slider and the JessEm...

Screw lubricant? Geesh, not a "clever" remark in the house. What's wrong with this place?

Lie Nielson is in Maine but check where on the map. I was there last summer but can't remember exactly how far off I-95 they were. Honestly, I wouldn't go too far out of your way but it's worth a...

Thanks Lee.

Anyone have any suggestions/experience for ww classes in England? A day, few days, a week, all good.

Tony, Thanks! I had been looking for Western Roller but for some reason, I just wasn't getting a hit on Google. I'm not clear what you mean by "different durometer" but I'm sure they can get me up...

Thanks Paul. It is chewed up and needs to be recond. I'm thinking polyureathane actually.

It's a Bridgewood, and yes, it's a generic Taiwanese planer. Wilkie doesn't sell the rubber one anymore just the metal one used in all the others (Jet, Powermatic, Grizz, etc). I like the rubber...

I have a 15" planer that has a rubber outfeed roller. It's pretty chewed up and needs to be reconditioned. I was wondering if someone could suggest a good place to send it out for recon?

I have one. It is a very basic machine; no tersa, just plain 'ole blades; not as heavy as Nimitz class jointers, but it's got the real estate and gets the job done.

I've had a couple pass through my hands. I'd hold out for an older (1990's vintage or earlier) Delta 14". THe Ridgids I had were really rough in terms of getting the guides aligned. Move the upper...

Well I had written a rather long reply but somehow it got lost in the web browser and I'm not writing it all again. Curse me for not writing it in microsft word first DHAMKIT!

Anyway you can PM...

Thanks Papa Grizz! Please enter my name in the contest.

3 people can lay it down on a couple of dollys. I have a 775 lb band saw and three of us layed it down with no probs.

I have an older Minimax F3 12" jointer and I have to replace the porkchop guard too. The Euro bridge guard from MM isn't eaxactly cheap so I've been looking for a cheaper alternative. If I run into...

They're pretty much the bread and butter of many shops. I saw that planer listed the other day for $700 and it seems like a good price.
