Hi Kevin - Thanks for the help.
Well I don't own a compressor yet - just have the head-banging pancake that I borrowed from my buddy so I can't tell you what the "usual pressure" would be - I...
Greg - I'm sure there's some ultra high end thing from some far off place like Germany that costs 20-30,000 dollars, but as you implied, most aren't. It's sort of the less of all evils for me. ...
Thanks for all the great info. I have also come across a few websites that have explained the air line routing, air cooling, condensation etc. in great detail for a newcomer like me. ...
Hi Folks -
My mind is wandering onto the ability to have compressed air in my garage and workshop that is an add-on to my garage. There's no room to put a proper compressor in either, but I can...
Hi -
I was looking over the Woodsmith Shop's website and came across a design for a DIY ZCI plate. They basically used a piece of 1/2 BB ply and cut a slot in it, then glued in a little wood...
+1 on wanting to see some pics !!!
I see that the eclipse honing guide (one of which I have) will NOT work with the blades in the DX60 as the sides are curved. Looks from Derek's review that it would tend to rock back and forth and...

Thanks very much for the volume of info that has been provided, as well as the food for thought.
I read the articles provided that were authored by Derek C. - they were extremely...
I'm obsessing over what Lee Valley block plane to buy so my wife can then give it to me for Christmas....
1 ) The low angle block plane
or
2) The higher priced DX60 block plane
Price is not...

Greetings from out east in New Brunswick. If you have a chance to shoot some pics and pop them up here, I'd like to see your progress. The size you have is close to what I have been...
Brandon -
Your post brought a smile to my face. I secretly thought that I was the only one that would spend a pile of time and money on gas to get some small but "much wanted" item....
Cheers,...
Rob - I hope you didn't leave out the electrical entrance.....

and the window valences.......

This is a sweet deal all around it seems.
Thanks for the clarification.
Mike -
Thanks for the excellent explanation on this.
As I see it - another way to look at this would be - let's say we start at 1725 rpm and then reduce the speed -
- With a pulley system,...
Mike - are you saying that as you lower the frequency - and therefore the speed of the motor - the torque remains the same ? I've been thinking about a VFD and 1-2hp motor for my drill press for...
Gents -
Thanks a million for all your suggestions and "real world" experience. After reading articles and then looking at all the options it sent my head spinning, but I think I have narrowed...
Hmmmm - not soaking things has an appeal for sure. I'll have a dig into those duo sharps in my research as well. What's a good mail order place for all this stuff?
Also - this brings up another...
Hi Folks -
I've been reading some old sharpening articles in Popular Woodworking by David Charlesworth and I'm fully psyc'd up to embark on the hand tool path, starting with the only plane that I...
Thanks Henry - I'll search out some epoxy as I have discovered a few other cracks here and there on the porch as well.
Cheers,
Lewis
Not really a woodworking question per se, well maybe a finishing one :)
I've got some 1/2 posts in between the full length posts on the front porch of my house. The ones with a "ball" shape on...
Another option is sort of a hybrid between casters and a pallet jack. Called a "semi live skid" - it's a mobile base like thing with 2 fixed wheels and 2 levelers. There's a little "hook" on the...
Michael -
Glad to hear alls well at last.
Fire up some gloat pictures when you have the chance !
Cheers,
Lewis
Another 882HH owner here. Came out of the crate and has been working great.
Paul hit the nail on the head with the table length. This machine is also quite a bit heavier than other 8"...
Jim - Similar story at this end. And to say I have received great customer service from WMH regarding PM machines is a ridiculous understatement.
I bought 4 brand new PM machines about 2 years...
