Mike,
I would not use a pump that moves less than 4 CFM. Others may have experienced success with less.
I purchased my Jet wet sharpener two years ago and it preformed well. Recently it seized, the motor still turned but the whell would not. I took the machine to an authorized Jet repair facility and...
Curtis,
WHich one is best is always subjective! The bottom line in a vacuum pump is the amount of air it can move. With a perfect seal all of the pumps you mentioned would probably work....
Jim,
If you run a search on this topic you should find several threads, as it has been around. You can buy a switch like the one you showed, or you make your own for about $15. Just follow the...
Jim,
I made one and used 3-4 pieces of 3/4 mdf glued together with a hardwood tenon to fit into a chuck. The piece was then turned round and the profiles I needed were cut into the face. As a...
"Is it likely to burn up the motor? How does that happen?"
Alex.
Will a 30 amp breaker work, sure! Will it burn up your motor, no not unless you develop a short.
If a short were to...
Jim is correct. The saws sold at the box stores may carry a brand name but are made specially for the store chain and are made cheap! In a chain saw you get what you pay for.
I have owned both...
Paul,
Never turned on a Jet but I am sure it is a fine machine but you are limiting your options to a max of a 15" project. The powermatic will give you 4" more over the ways, and for an additional...
Unless the newer blades have changed, the jumbo blades do not fit into the standard handle. They have their own much larger handle.
Depends on your market and the economy! In my area large natural edge pieces are king. The past two years large cherry salad serving bowls were selling as fast as I could finish them. This year I...
I agree with Barbara, freeze the blank. Rembember that wood is an insulator so let it stay frozen for a couple of days.
Fred,
I believe your observations are correct, compressors requiring oil do last longer and are somewhat quieter. As for what to look for in a compressor, the two most important factors to me are...
Good thought provoking question!
Why do some turn thin, just to demostrate their skills. Some delicate artsy pieces are enhanced by their light weight. Pierced pieces must be thin in order to...
Dean,
After your last coat of tung oil I usually let the finish cure for a week or until I get around to buffing several pieces. Some only wait 24 hours.
Yes, you need buffing compound....
Paul,
Like you, I live in an area where a semi cannot drive to. All the trucking companies use a semi with a lift gate and a pallet jack. My options were to meet the truck and hope we could find...
Scott,
I own the same model, and it is a good saw for the money Grizzly charges, but a tremendous saw for what you paid! You will find it has the power to cut through whatever you present. Enjoy!
If I am reading your post correctly, and you have tried taking light cuts with success, then I would not worry and go ahead and rough turn the bowl to approx. 3/16" thicker than the desired outside...
David,
Antique oil contains either BLO or Tung oil, MS, dryers and varnish. How much of each is anyone's guess. Based on my experience, antique oil has a greater content of varnish than danish oil,...
You may be in the wrong vocation. The video is great and the music makes you want to get up and do something!
Try here http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2007011715193546&item=4-1540&catname= brand new pump that is idea for what you need and costs $90.
Thanks for all the comments. Yes, Arlan the wood was sort of green so I roughed it and let it sit a month or so and then finished. The tree was growing in central Florida, where I winter. They are an...
8" x 7" side grain hollow form, finished in BLO. This wood was from a young tree that was killed by a beetle infestation. The base was only 10" in diameter and the heart wood was just starting to...
Mine comes in a red can with white lettering " Minwax Antique Oil Finish"
Everything in life is a learning experience. And one of the best ways to learn is from the input of your peers. If I ask for a critique of a piece or a particular portion of the piece, I expect to...
