I just went to David Marks' site to get contact information for whoever I need to email and I noticed the link is gone now. I think that whoever runs David's site either found out about it or...
All, I don't typically do this, but, I just wanted to share a little bit of information with you. I was on David Marks site last week and saw a link to a site called "Master Woodworking Plans". The...
I've run across a few vendors like that around here. I asked the station manager if they had any plans to up the "maximum" since I drive a diesel and typically pump about $125 worth every two weeks....
I bought one of those (35-640) and it's only got a small scratch on the front. Aside from that I couldn't find a single other problem with it. Trunions are solid and true, as is the top. Holds...
Personally, I'm a Steel City fan. I have the 14" w/ granite top and love it. My TS is also a SC w/ titanium top. Soon to add the SC bench mortiser as well.
My rationale is "best bang for the...
Good for you!
I quit as my New Years resolution in 2006 and hadn't had a single smoke until my mom passed away... Between the stress, the emotion, and two sisters that smoke like chimneys, I...
+1 on what JohnT said...
Only... Instead of forking out a bunch of $$ for a jig you may not use often (well, I thought that way until I bought mine, anyway), you can get by with a simple...
IIRC, the cabinets on the SC saws vary depending on model. My 35-640 is 20" x 20" so the delta would work... the 5hp models are (IIRC) 22 1/5" x 23 1/2", so it wouldn't work. If you want to see base...
No, guys... My rant was about someone coming looking for help and getting told to "go search Google". I've already said I'm sorry to Philip. there was really no ill intent involved other than to...
<rant on>
Why not include a link or two to the results... or the search terms you used... or something productive to add to the thread. Not everyone thinks of themself as an internet guru. Some...
I'm not usually a complainer... but I have to let off some steam...
Why do people bother to even post on forums when all they post is something like "Well, I Googled it and found hundreds of...
I have the same saw only with the granite table (50100G). I love it. I still have a small wobble somewhere but I think it's the floor under the wheels isn't exactly level. I had a similar problem...
Yep... you can throw my vote into the pile as well... just made my first purchase from them and was very, very pleased to see it arrive two days later... with free shipping. I had the catalog...
I had one of those saws as well for about 6-7 years. It did the job. My only gripes were it is LOUD, and trying to make a ZCI was impossible due to the design of the throat plate. I recently...
In addition to what everyone else has already mentioned, it sort-of sounds a little like blade drift as well... Just about all blades will have some drift to them... that's a natural tendency for...
$125 for an 18" bandsaw? Um... that's a HUGE gloat in my book! Especially if the motor runs!
My weekend wasn't good like most. I did get some shop-time, but not the kind I liked. My mom passed away quite suddenly on Friday morning. She had a massive stroke. The worst part was, we had a...
I think this would look awesome made from some nice Hard Maple or Tigerwood...
I would also suggest finding a local Woodcraft or travel up to Highland woodworking in Atlanta and taking one of the one-day classes. I was planning on doing just that (only not having to travel, as...
Not to rock the boat, but you may also want to check out Steel City tools for your equipment as well. They are both excellent choices, but, you get a bit more value with the Steel City products...
I recently went through the same dilemma. I opted for the Steel City. While the Grizzly is a great saw, I couldn't find much difference in the interior (trunions, gears, motor, etc.) between the...
My Bad. I either missed the post about the Grizzly or skimmed over it. I just know that Steel City uses the Poly-V belts on their bandsaws as well.
I'll bet that you WON'T put it on your bandsaw either... IIRC (I know mine does) Steel City uses the Poly-V belts on their bandsaws as well. At least the 14" ones have the Poly-V belts.
As...
Thanks, all, for the suggestions.
I know there is a difference between phenolic and polycarbonates. I'm not sure which would be best, though... I am making a jig system that has a fixed "base"...
I've also got a Steel City TS and Bandsaw. Both are top-notch IMHO. I did, however, go out and measure my miter slots on the top of my own titanium TS table... they are perfectly in line to me...
