I made up this bit here to do the same thing for my smaller compressor and it works great...

Congrats on your purchase of a brand spankin' General! I have read this entire thread and refrained from any comment mostly because of the fact that I own a General 650R myself (I have one of the...

The only consideration in my mind would be the wiring for the 5hp saw. 10ga. wire and a 30a. breaker would cover it but I have no idea what you have available from your shop panel. Good price on a...

I used my stock insert as the template for the router table to cut the blank and then left the whole thing taped together to go back into the saw top. The first cut was with the stock insert in the...

The 1/2" with the set screws sounds to be the best of your options. I make the inserts for my General 650R from 1/4" phenolic panel and I use set screws with locknuts on the bottom side. Give...

Chalk up another vote for the General 650R...it works for me.

Not only will it haul all of your gear to and from the gig, it won't get drunk and pass out before the show starts:D

Jim, I was told this story last summer by a General sales rep and he told me that General produced the fences under an agreement with Biesemeyer before the sale to Delta and was able to continue with...

It is very possible that General might make the fence for the SS. I keep looking at the SS fence and the one on my General and they are almost identical with the exception of the shape of the locking...

I had never heard that before. Where did you come by that bit of info?

Another lefty here:cool:

Anthony, I have a 560 and one time I encountered a very strange problem similar to what you describe and when I inspected the knives I found that somehow chips had actually worked their way under the...

I did put my money on the General 650R with the 3hp motor and it has yet to make me wish I'd gone with the 5hp. I looked at quite a few saws before plunking down my $$$ and although the General was...

Scot, when you did the conversion did you get a good side by side look at the new pieces with the old ones? I have a 650R and looking at the parts breakdown of the new and old machines it looked like...

I do the same thing as Rod said...JPW about 4 times a year and never a speck of rust on anything.

I have the deluxe version of this one from LV. It sets up to do shelf pin holes as well as dowels to do complete cabinets. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=42200&cat=1,180,42311 . It too...

This one impacts a few of the senses...you can hear the bullet coming back, see it hit the ground and bounce before it hits his hearing protection and you can almost smell the pantload he must have...

Consider it a learning experience...now you know better than to take SWMBO with you:D

J.R.

You say that like its a bad thing:confused::D

Big congrats on the new saw from another very happy 650 owner:cool:

+1 on the 2 ton cherry picker although I bought a new one. It will lift anything I have in the shop and I never have to rent an engine crane again.

Good question...I have 3 Incras one of which is the 24" Ultra with the Intellifence (older stuff) but I have never tried the LS. The Ultra has never failed to do whatever I have asked of it and it...

Andy and Sally were celebrating the wonderful occasion of their 60th wedding anniversary having worked hard, raised a family, and finally fulfilling the dream of moving back to their hometown where...

I just measured one of each of mine...the Strat (94 MIA) is 1 3/4" and the Les Paul Custom (76) is 2 1/4" including the arched top.

You have to have your "backup" income in most cases to make it work. Doug made some very good points about location and limited product line. I have my ww business out in the barn in a...
