I have had a Grizzly track saw for quite a while. I don't really have any difficulty with connecting two pieces of track for a longer cut. You just have to line the backs of the track against...
Have you cleaned the trunnion gears? It sounds like they may be completely packed up with gunk.
If it were me, I'd be looking for significant rust or other signs of neglect or abuse. Otherwise, these are simple, solid machines. When you get it home, just plan to give it a complete tune up and...
Yes! Assuming that this is a used saw AND it's in good shape AND the price is reasonable. It will blow away your old Craftsman in every aspect.
Are you sure you're measuring .040 and not .40 or .004? If your measurements are correct, I'd be on the phone to Craftex.
OK Mike, try again to PM me now. Who knew I had so many PMs?
You can certainly have the gauge for the price of shipping. It's not the prettiest tool, but it does work.
Mike, I have an identical planer. Mine is converted to a helix head, so I have a knife gauge that I don't need. You're welcome to it. Just PM me.
There is a DeWalt Radial Saw Discussion Forum available. The guys on the forum know everything possible about these saws and can help guide you through a rebuild. I've done it and it's not...
I would contact Northwood. They appear to be still in business, although no longer in industrial machine imports. They branched into CNC machines when the import market started shrinking in the...
Those shaper covers are everywhere. You can probably get one from somebody on the DeWalt site for pretty cheap. That's where I got mine. I've used my RAS to do a little bit of shaper work,...
Check out the Delphi DeWalt RAS forum. Those guys focus on saws like yours all day, every day. Lots to good info and advice on restoring and repairing. I'm pretty sure that I read an article on...
I've also built two with the Create-a-Bed hardware. Pretty easy to build and modify. One thing worth noting is there is a deluxe kit which doesn't require the distinctive fold-out feet ( the little...
Are you sure the legs are plywood? It seems unnecessarily difficult to make them out of ply, since you'd have to do the veneer that you're describing, somehow overlapping the ply skin to make the...
You didn't mention the asking price.....
That RAS does look just like the 11" saw photo on the OWWM site. If it will has the same 17" crosscut capacity as described, it could be a nice shop asset if you do a lot of crosscuts. I personally...
I made a 2 x 4 bench top several years back( It's held up fine). I glued it up without ripping the edges first. Then I planed with a #5 for eternity to get it flat. 1/2" is a lot of material to...
A few things to try:
1) Lower the rollers below the table surface. They're mainly for very rough stock and a waxed table should be plenty smooth. You can always raise them to .002 later.
2)...
That looks identical to Steel City's portable planer. You might be able to find some reviews.

Parts for lathes are very common on ebay. Does your lathe have a cast iron bed or a tubular bed? You should be able to find a replacement headstock under $100, although you have to be careful to...
I get good results from mine, even on mdf, although I admit that I don't use it often. I initially tried a bead cutting router bit to make beading and swore I'd never do it again. The geometry just...
Rick, I have a Delta moulding head. I got it for making beading in wainscoting. Unbelievably easy. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the Delta has a larger diameter hole. The hole on mine measures .360...
I think these saws are basically fine. I had to tune mine to get (what I consider) good performance. You don't have to do that with the premium saws but you also save a bunch of money if you don't...
That would be a fun way to get your feet wet with a shaper without much investment. The size of the opening in the table will limit the style of cutter you're using, like Paul says. There are...
I had one of the HF saws several years ago. It's not a terrible saw; it certainly is capable of anything that any other 14" saw can do after you tune and adjust it. You'll need to buy or make a...
