Post a wanted ad on OWWM when you get accepted and keep an eye on Ebay. I recently picked up a 46-499 which appears to be similar to yours. It's been a great lathe so far. Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments everyone. The guy who sold me the lathe has already told me about a local turning club and I plan to attend one of their meetings this Saturday. I have some DVDs and book...

I've decided to get into turning and was lucky enough to pick up a Rockwell Delta 46-499 variable speed lathe off of Craigslist. I turned a couple bowls out of some maple firewood that I've had in...

Eh, I'd try to find a used contractor's saw or something similar. Anything other than one of those cheap benchtop saws. I had one before I got my Grizzly 1023. I hated it then and I can't imagine...

Congrats on the saw. You'll love it. I love mine! I've never used a Biesemeye, but I've found the fence that it comes with to work fine. One upgrade I'd plan on is getting a better miter gauge. ...

If the saw is in good shape, and it sounds like it is, don't throw it away. That'd be a waste. People still safely use saws without riving knives, sawstop technology, and laser guidance systems...

If you haven't already, take a look in the Neanderthal Haven section of the forum. There are lots of posts on benches like you're describing. If you want to laminate 2x construction lumber for a...

Those are impressive, especially the finger joint jig.

If you want to compare the two you can check out the owner's manuals of both saws as suggested above.

For the PM:
On page 34 part number 38....

Simmer down, I was simply correcting your assertion that the Tundra was the best selling truck currently. Discussing business models and the assistance both companies get from their respective...

I think the Tundra will need to quadruple its sales before achieving that title.

Thanks for posting the link! It's very useful.

Don't forget high business taxes and regulations/restrictions that are placed on companies in America.

Another vote for the AIs. I own a couple (hope to be getting more for Xmas) and like them a lot. They have a good feel to them and sharpen well. I've never used a Pfeil before so I really can't...

My 1023SL came with the plans for the stand but did not include the leg template.

My father built a bunk bed for me 15 years ago out of Southern Yellow Pine and it has held up well. I'm not sure if SYP is available up there though. If it is, it is cheap and strong enough for the...

I was in your situation a couple months ago. I ended up going with the Grizzly 1023SL. I already had a router table so getting one with the saw was not important to me. I feel the grizzly is a...

Unless your dad is a horse (toxic to them) or allergic to walnuts I don't think there would be a problem to using walnut. As for the Tung oil, I'm not sure. I'd think that if the cutting board was...

Hmm, must be the salt water humidity in the air down here. Mine are starting to show specs of rust.

Here are the arbor wrenches that came with my 1023SL.

I've got some of the Gramarcy holdfasts (which work great) but am wondering what to do to keep them from rusting? I can oil or wax the "arm" but putting either of those on the leg keeps it from...

Just throwing out ideas...

For the stand I'd make an upside down Y with the ability to rotate one of the legs. Then use a link between the two legs to attach the two legs. You could move a pin...

Interesting. I'll be curious to see them in stores. I think the one piece base and frog could be nice if they do it right. They have the opportunity to greatly increase the contact area between...

I too have had good experiences with him.

Thanks! That was exactly the kind of reply I was hoping to get. I was able to use some online translating software to read the web pages. Those are definitely what I have.
