My 890 is still running fine in my router table, and I've recently become a convert to the Bosch 1617 and I really like it. So sad to see such a venerable brand just stop making the one thing that...

He Mel, thanks very much for your suggestion.

I got out my drafting stuff, (I enjoy drawing by hand over my frustrations with sketchup), and did a quick drawing using the square root of the Golden...

I just completed a double dresser/chest of drawers two weeks ago and I couldn't help but post this here.

See, I was thinking this morning about the Golden Ratio and I just wondered how close I...

Andrew,
You are exactly right, different diameter wheels don't cause vibration. What I'm saying is that when both wheels are out of balance, that diameter difference will cause the vibration to...

Isopropyl alcohol. It dries quickly and thoroughly, does not damage the winding sealant, and only needs to be wiped off. And if you do use water, go over it with IPA and it will dry the water.

Andrew;

Different sized pulleys don't cause vibration. I mention that they were different only because the lower wheel is clocking when compared to the top wheel. This relative movement of the...

Update:
I received the new upper and lower wheels from Laguna support this week. I’ve been out of state for work so today was my first day back. I first unboxed the lower wheel, it had already been...

Hi guys, thanks for all of the thoughtful comments. It’s really appreciated. I have updates:
I re-engaged with Laguna support and I asked for a different tech, and got one based in Texas at the...

I was on the phone with Laguna support guy yesterday. They're sending me a set of upper and lower wheels.

I had taken off my lower wheel, it has the driven pulley mounted to the back of it. Took...

I really need the saw fixed because long term operation like this is going to trash the bearings of both wheels.

Tom,

Do you have a link for the video?

That's the odd part about all this. I did resaw a board about 12" long x 6" wide and with the Resaw King blade it cut beautifully. Very smooth finish. I fully expected it to be rather rough but it...

All really good responses, thank you all for the help.

The parts that they have sent me were all decided by Laguna support. They sent me a new Laguna Resew King blade because I bought the blade...

I did run it without the blade, very slight vibration. What I would expect, very acceptable to me. With the blade turning both wheels, bad vibration. That was why he sent me the new upper wheel.

Hi all, I've not posted here in quite some time. I have an issue I'd like to share and see if anyone has useful insight that might help me.

I just bought a new Laguna 18BX bandsaw. Problem is that...

Pull off the cartridge and make it a clock. You set that thing off once a year? Good grief, that's expensive. I go back and forth on saw stop, thinking the safety is great but I'd sure hate to ruin a...

Jamie, I think that whole thing is the business of the customer, not any of us.

If you plan on inlaying the names, are you going to do it in the years to come? If so, I would keep the surface in...

I made the mistake and I did get hurt. Last Nov. I was working on my Unisaw with the sled and, well, a board kicked back and smashed two fingers against the fence. Like about any such mishap in the...

I picked up a Skill 77Mag at a garage sale last summer for $20, all it needed was a good cleaning and it looks and works like new. Didn't mean to gloat but I'm still excited as I've wanted one for...

I use my air compressor spray gun and attack it through the blade guard, dust door, and the motor cover of my '83 Unisaw. I can always get a through cleaning without disassembling the top. I use...

No problem Kevin, I'm glad to help. I'd like to see what you can do with it!

Kevin,

There seems to be a real shortage of info about this wood, I know, I was scouring the web last year after I bought a piece from Woodcraft. All of what I've found written up about it is...

I've run the jointer and I don't detect any more vibration than normal. I replaced both of the bearings a few weeks ago and it's running very smooth. Good point though.

Wayne

Hey all,

I've had this old Jet 6" jointer for over a year now and it's been working great. What's not so great is pulling and re-installing, adjusting the knives. To be honest, it sucks. My method...
