If that was the one in Michigan you definitely stole it for that price. Congrats on it!

Cody,

You may need to increase the Hertz to 60. Turn it on and push the up arrow till it gets to 60.

American 24" jointer.

As always bigger is better.

Jeff,

If you have time visit Vintagemachinery.org for pictures in the photo index. Another option is to join Owwm.org and place in add in the Boyd section for a 5hp motor.

For the Factorymation VFD anything over 3hp requires three phase input. Just an Fyi. There is another company that will sell a higher hp single phase input VFD and the information is in the Moak...

I would check on the price of a VFD that is rated for 5hp before you choose a motor. VFD's up to 3hp are cheap if you are running single phase input. IF you want to run a VFD for a 5hp with single...

The good thing about the jointer it has the fence and the blade guard. About the price that is depends where you live. I just about a 24" American for $500. but I live on the east coast where they...

My definition is anything that was made before me(1975), made in North America, and weighs more than me.

I would have to think the break even point is pretty high for that price and they may never recoup the investment. I think they priced themselves out of the market. The only features that may set...

Looks like a step back, way back to me.

Jeff, I have a Silver 36 with Carter Zefyr guides and I just added a Silver 26 with Wright Guides. Both guides are relatively similar and parts are readily available for them.

In my opinion the...

I think you had that delivered to the wrong address 1200 miles west of where it should be. Looks complete and a decent price for it.

I spent some time in that town and at the college also. Everything that is interesting is a drive. About 30-40min to Madison and an hour to Milwaukee and not to mention that you want to see places on...

Steve,

Wish I was able to compare the two stores for you but I was in the Allentown one this past Sunday. A lot depends on what you are looking for. They carry quite a bit items but not...

The saws that were made in Canada are in their own little world as far as the serial numbers. No one really knows the number sequence for the Canadian ones.

I am pretty sure everything is...

You really need to keep both saws. One dedicated for a dado blade and one for whatever else.

Brian,

Thanks for putting in the info about the VFD. I looked on their website and might be missing it but I see the input for single phase but it does not show the output in three phase. Do they...

Brian,

What manufacturer of VFD are you using? With the VFD it gives you the flexibility to cut metal also. I see it has Carter guides also. Beautiful job and money well spent. With the work you...

A winter boot that I have been looking at is Kamiks. These are made in Canada and assembled here. I had a pair of LaCrosse Icemans which were good down -50 that were US made. Luckily my brother still...

Absolutely yes!

Follow the link below. This will work for a 3hp 3phase motor.

There are two options to do this: The most expensive route is to buy a rotary phase converter(500-1000) or the cheaper way is to buy a VFD (factorymation.com) cost is 100 on up. The only limit on the...

Worst case scenario you might have to put in new bearings in the arbor and motor and add a set of belts. Those are very strong motors on those saws. I have been using an 8in Oshlund Dado with no...

Three years ago when I replaced the main plumbing line I decided to put in a water filter right after the meter. Therefore all the water is filtered in the house. It was a simple GE filter and we...

I am trying to attempt to spend the whole weekend down there after the Turkey Feast.

This will take care of your 3phase needs. Just need 240 in the shop. The motor on there now...
