Yes, nice bandsaw. I have the 17" version now, after having upgrade from a 14" HF bandsaw. Huge, huge difference. Love it. I should have gotten the brake...

What's this talk about a coupon?

Wow, very nice Bob!

I'm amazed it didn't blow up on you. I'm sure there were some light passes going on there!

Good work.

I've had the Incra system for maybe 9 years now on my router table. As others have noted, it does OK on smaller pieces. Doing larger pieces, it doesn't work quite as good.

I've made quite a few...

And why I did the same, if you re-read my post....

Still made a difference on start-up going to 240V from 12 gauge 120V.

As I mentioned earlier, the biggest difference is that your motor is...

I wired my shop myself and used 12 gauge for my 120V outlets. Running the bandsaw at 240V still started up better. And this is only a 1.25HP bandsaw motor. The in-rush current is huge, though.

Add me, please

I found that when I rewired to 240V from 120V that my saw started up (came to full speed) much faster.

That means that it wasn't getting enough starting current, which in turn was stressing out...

On the computer network cable, a little bit of clear tape on the contacts, then plug it back into the wall (or PC). Can do the same thing with USB connectors.

On some PCs with onboard graphics,...

Any update? Did it work at all?

The power supply is just a PC power supply, and the circuit board is enclosed in an old computer case (with ShopBot on the front). Yep, got the serial cable with it as well.

Pseudo home-grown CNC. The original ShopBots were a DIY kit.

It's a complete setup. Well, missing the PC. No, no CAM software, but I have access to CAM software. Lot's of free stuff out there, and several that I could get for a few hundred dollars.

All the...

Both sheet metal and MDF would work fine to close in the bottom, but I'd probably go with MDF.

It's been a long day, but I picked up a new toy off Craigslist today.

Good excuse to use the car hauler...

Anyway, it's a cute little 48x96 ShopBot, complete with Porter Cable router and Jet...

Very nice!

Which Woodsmith number?

That looks identical to my (hangs his head and kicks the dust up a little with his toe) HF bandsaw. I put the Grizzly riser block on it. http://woodworking.bigelowsite.com/bandsaw/home.shtml

It's...

Don't buy the cheap bulbs and you'll get much better results. I used to buy the Feit bulbs at Home Depot and Costco, and write the install date on the base. About every 6 months I'd gather up all the...

Is this new? I've never, ever had Paypal charge me a fee to transfer money from my savings account to my Paypal account. Maybe this is just for a CC transfer?

Edit:
Nevermind, I see it is the...

I picked up a Vega used, and it was a huge improvement compared to my Jet fence! Flex at the far end has been minimized, and the little built-in push stick has come in handy several times.

My quick and dirty method I put in place 8 years ago is still holding. Just butt the flex up to the PVC and use several wraps of a good duct tape to the connect them. Doesn't look too professional,...

If you do discover that it is the bearings, you can easily revive these bearings if you have a vacuum chamber or access to one.

Pull the bearings and drop them in a beaker of 30wt oil, completely...

I know Bloxygen claims to reduce / eliminate paint skinning. I bought a can, but have honestly never used it. It doesn't work on water based, lacquer, or shellac, which about all I use nowadays.

Good info there! I have long suspected as much, but didn't have any verification.

Also, I did find at one point where it seems PSI gets their stuff. There's a website based in China where you can...
