I have a 725. Neal's comments above are spot on. I can't confirm or deny the gang saw application, as I have not used it for that. I did a lot of research too before purchasing, and it seemed that...

I have one of the 25" woodmasters, and also have had some vibration issues. I don't expect it to be as vibration free as my older vintage cast iron machinery. It just doesn't have the mass...

I picked up one of these on sale awhile back too...mainly for my 6 yr old to have a plane to work with that didn't matter if it hit the garage floor a few times. I was similarly impressed with the...

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions...Glad to know at least it isn't just me, especially since I haven't had any problem with tuning my other machines old and new to within the tolerances I...

Anyone here with a Woodmaster who has successfully eliminated or significantly reduced snipe on their machine? I have the 25" model, and it works well, but snipes significantly worse on the ends...

I have seen many original workbenches from the 18th and 19th centuries that had oak tops, and worked on several reproductions of them myself. No problems, other than the more open grain can collect...

I paid over $2,000 for my Moak 36", but that was a couple years ago in a better economy, and it was a late model in excellent shape. Everyone else is right, I've seen them go for as little as a few...

Neal,

How does the spiral head work for you in the Woodmaster? I have one of the 25" units, and I have thought about getting the insert cutterhead for it. I get a little more snipe than i want...

You don't need to worry until you get at least 1/2 doz. of something, and that doesn't count the small stuff like drills, routers, planes, etc. Once you start getting to double digits on stationary...

I assume you have one of the older style cast iron 18" saws, that look like the 14" Delta on steroids. They have a two piece frame, like a 14", but to my knowledge, no one ever offered a riser block...

Hi,

I have a Newman 824, and everything Lou said is spot on. Mine came from a working shop, but I haven't set it up yet because I want to go through it and do some cleaning and maintenance. ...

A question for those who deal with battery rebuilds...I have a couple of Dewalt 14.4 packs that are wearing out but are sealed. That is, they appear to be glued shut rather than having screws to...

Hi, nice Moak.

Difficult to say on exact age, Moak didn't change their design much over the years, and I'm not aware at the moment of a dated list of serial numbers. Mine is #9898, and shows the...

Sounds like a great project! I have a Newman 248 that I recently acquired that I want to clean up as well. Newman is still in business in Greensboro, NC. I contacted them and they were able to...

I recently just moved a Moak 36" approx. 900 miles from Florida to NC. Weight is around 2500 lbs., so a trailer rated for the weight is an absolute must. I was lucky enough to borrow one that was...

Greetings all,

I was wondering if anyone had a link to any Harbor Freight coupons? I haven't gotten one in awhile, and I found something in the local flyer (non-powered, of course) that I would...

I just went thru the same decision-making process. I don't know what your budget is, which will make a big difference in your options. For my budget, I was looking at older, used...

Hello all,

I have read thru the archives on this question, but was hoping for some new responses. Does anyone have a Woodmaster 725 25" planer/molder and can comment on its good and bad...
