I used to own one and sold it because I didn't use it much back then but I remember having to very frequently refill the water reservoir, it's not big enough and you loose a lot of water while...

I like the flag there at the top. Those wall plates look really crooked, is it the way the pic in skewed?

aI didn't think of using a brad point bit - the largest I have is 1/2" so I might just buy the Amana 3/4" and be done with it. Since the auger bit is best for deep hole drilling, I went that route...

I've started to prepare drilling out the dog holes in my benchtop. The only tool I can use to spin my auger bit in is my cordless drill on low speed but it's still running too fast and hard to...

I tore down my Wells-Index 40H mill to start the rebuild and paint. Came apart easier than I expected, though I did a full size bridgeport mill before this. Not nearly as many parts as that. It's now...

PROBLEM SOLVED. Thought I would post an update that my problem appears to have been fixed after I took off the stock worn out belt and put on a new link belt. Wow, the saw runs so much smoother,...

Had the chance this past week to tear down my saw and check out the bearings. They are smooth and tight, so I didn't pull them off the shaft. I cleaned and grease the trunnion assembly and...

This post most explains what I'm dealing with. The blade deflects and returns back to 90 after the cut but leave blade nicks on the bottom edge.

I'm not certain that it's my technique, I've been...

Sure, I can try to correct it by adjusting the fence and blade out of parallel to the miter slots, but I shouldn't have to and it doesn't seem like the right fix. I've been loosing the blade mount...

The boards are jointed square before I use them so I know they are running straight. I tried two different blades and got the same result - so it can't be the blade.

When I pull on the arbor with...

Well, I tried everything suggested here and still cannot solve the problem. I used my indicator to verify blade alignment to miter slot using the same spot rotated front to back (checked within .002)...

Thanks everyone for the help, I'll be checking the fence out tonight and see what I have. The did check the fence to make sure it is flat and square.

I have a Delta contractors saw and I'm having a problem with getting the blade aligned correctly to the fence. When I'm ripping a piece as soon as it gets to the other side of the blade (end of cut)...

LOL now that is funny. What an idiot.

Well I ended up getting the timber. It's a nice straight piece and very dry but lots of checking from the wood sitting and drying. If I use these pieces for workbench legs, is it practical to fill...

Yes, I'm planning on using cheaper materials for the base, and maybe maple or ash on top. But, I want at least 6" width legs for strength and looks.

I'm planning my first workbench build and found a really nice pine beam for sale locally that measures 6.25 x 6.25 x 12 feet long. Wondering what's a fair price on this? Seller is asking $40 for...

The point is that when buying something, especially a $500 item, it should arrive in NEW condition. Someone probably bought the saw and used it a few times then returned it. Then HD sold me that saw...

Lots of good advice here thanks for the info. I will give amazon a try, and wait until after Christmas. I am in NY. Makita website only shows Home Depot as a local seller. I checked Grainger because...

My early Christmas present arrived today that was bought online from Home Depot and shipped to my house. A Makita LS1016L 10" sliding miter saw. The box was a disaster, and once I opened it I found...

The previous G0490X was made in Taiwan until they discontinued it, now they are back to producing them only switching factories to one in mainland China.

I'm looking into purchasing a new jointer and planer for my shop and would like to go with the Grizzly machines, but now both machines I'm looking at are made in China, where they used to be made in...

Automation Direct is a USA company that builds very high quality VFDs and priced around the same as the other chinese brands. I own two and am very happy with them.

I agree with this 100%.

I currently have this jointer by Matthias over half way done. It was becoming close to completion, but I couldn't get flat tables out of the birch plywood. I even tried making a miniature torsion box...
