Don, the motor needed bearings plus the shipping was going to cost close to 100 more. The motor also sat outside for a year so there is the possibility of moisture inside plus corrosion. All in...

John, do you know the make and model number of the motor in your PM74? Not sure if the Craigslist deal will work out yet because the bearings need replacing. Not hard to do but with shipping and...

Patrick, thanks for the info. I will reach out to him.

The 3" motor pulley diameter is smaller than a PM66. Its motor pulley is close to 3.5". This steps up the speed from 3450 RPM to close to...

Thanks Patrick for your insight.

On the 72 you have now are the sheaves 7/8" on the motor and 3/4 on the Arbor or does the 1" arbor on these saws have a different Arbor sheave? The reason I...

I recently purchased a PM 72A at a very good price but the machine did not have a motor. I know there are many similarities between the 66, 68, and 72 machines. I would like to find a used 5 HP or...

I have done a two tone kitchen. Here are a couple of pics for ideas.

I have a couple of these that I do not use. Send me a PM with an offer if your interested. They are basically new.

Al, I did my entire kitchen the way you described. I wanted open cabinets with no center stile in the way. I used Blum clip on 125 deg hinges for the cabinets. It is the same hinge used on euro's...

I would definately veneer both sides. It is just a good practice to keep everything balanced. I would also echo what Mike said about Waterfall bubinga. It can be prone to bubbles. Make sure you...

J/P - Casadei FS51 - 20 Inches of jointing and planing. approx. 2000lbs. I move it with a pallet jack.

Mike, to me, finding the best spot to mount was not real scientific. I set the unit on my router table with the mount behind the fence toward the back edge. I left the arm extended forward about...

They are very easy to set up. Of all my purchases, a power feeder ranks at the top as one of the best. I have one on my router table and my jointer. Great tools.

Rick, Phillip & John, Thanks for all your input.

Of the machine you guys have used over the years is there anything about any one machine you've liked more than others. (For example: the stops,...

Rick, one other question I have is if the motor units cut in both directions, what is the purpose of a forward/reverse switch to change the motor direction? I have seen tis option on a few of the...

John, thanks for the info. Question, did you add the VFD to get more speed or to slow down the motor. What is the advantage of adjusting the speed? TIA

Rick, thanks for your reply. The earlier model Rojek had two options: a motor drive head and a router head. I bought mine when they were closing out the router drive head option and were going to...

I am looking to purchase a dedicated slot mortiser and I have been looking at several European models. I am looking for some advice from current users or others that have reseached this subject. I...

Did, Anyone see the new Laguna feeder at the IWF. It looks really inovative. The drive mechanism kind of looked like a mini edge belt sander. This rides on the fence rail and has a pressure wheel...

I saw the TS 75 at the IWF show in Atlanta. I have the TS55 and like the feel of it better. I think the TS75 is too heavy and bulky for everyday use.

My guess would be Padauk.

You are right Lou. Many of their designs are the same today with some cosmetic changes. I wish there was more dealers importing the Euro stuff because they make really good machines. Riebling...

Paul, I do not have the mortising attachment but I believe it was an option. Yes it only has two blades but one of the two blades is always in contact with the wood at all times. The blades come...

Lou, I am not sure of the exact year but I think it is in the 1985-1990 vintage. It was owned by a one man shop in PA. and I purchased it in 2002. I was told the previous owner was the original. ...

Here is a few more.

Paul, attached are pictures of the machine from different angles.
