Gary:
I've got the woodcraft in my own shop and the Delta in our local woodworker's shop where I teach turning. No way would I spend the extra $$ for the Delta. Firstly, the WC comes with the...
Been a member of Carolina Mountain Woodturners in Asheville, NC and the AAW for about 5 years now. CMW is the largest AAW affilliate in North America (and undoubtedly the best):D . We have a big name...
Too dark for any honey locust I've seen arond the South.

My solution to Dan and Norm's problem was one no. 10 x 1/2" self drilling sheet metal screw in the top of the quick connect.
I completely agree with this part of Tod's statement. Both drills are made in the same plant in North Carolina. I have one of each - can't tell a nickle's worth of difference except the color. Mine...
Very good point, John. I put off the purchase of the mag units because I had several of the old style "clamp in the slot" varieties. I recently bought two of the mag style and am finding that I...
I'll enlighten you for some that walnut you're getting.:)
I think the RAS has the most potential for the machine itself to be dangerous because of the way it works - cutting toward the user.
As several have already said or implied - the most dangerous...
Amen! Amen! and Amen!
This is exactly why I don't offer much electrical advice online, even with 30 plus years of industrial electrical engineering experience.

If he don't want it, I'll take it!!
First TAT for this store which opened a year ago. We got 185 pens done in a total of 12 hours (3 on Friday and 9 on Saturday). Had a lot of participants. Some turning their very first pens, some "old...
Dan:
Know nothing about cheap sources for phase converters in your part of the country.Here's one link I found quickly http://www.phase-a-matic.com/RotaryDescription.htm Probably not too cheap. ...

I think it's just plumb kewl! Thay got anymore of 'em?:cool:
Beautiful piece, Carole. If you must continue to play with the lid, I agree wilth Michael - make the flame a bit smaller and a bit more shapely. But, I don't think any change is necessary.
Kent:
Only two reasons not to buy the 3520B:
1. There is no way you can afford it.
2. You can afford the Oneway, Stubby, Poolewood or other high end lathe.
Sounds to me like you have your...
I'll be at the Greenville, SC Woodcraft all day on Saturday. Their first TAT since store opened just before Christmas last year. So, any Freedom pens we turn will be a record for this store. But,...

Amen, Amen, and Amen!!!:)
Just a note to avoid possible confusion - Bondo now makes a one step (no hardener required) wood hardener. Appears to be an acrylic/acetone solution much like the one Minwax sells. I have found it...
Yes. Yes. AAW.

Mine is the older style. The new style appears to be a nice improvement. Especially the vented underarms. There are lots of...
Scott: I bought the Rockler top and fence and put them on a Norm-style cabinet with the Router Raizer lift. I have been able to do anything I wanted, which is quite varied, with accuracy and...
For me worst was a 4 1/2" side grinder. Didn't believe it could be worth a cuss for $16.00. I was right. It didn't run long enough to get hot!
Best was a HF 14" abrasive chop saw for $50. ...
Allen:
Sounds a lot like you may have burned up the capacitor on that motor when you rewired it. Don's description of the capacitor and starting winding is correct. Bad starting winding, bad...
Actually, I have no specific plans for changing anything. I was questioning why Mike couldn't/shouldn't do what he was thinking about at a reasonable cost of $100 or so.
Don has come up with the...
Okay, I'm not about to argue that a good cabinet saw is far better than a contractor's saw. But, let us consider the following: (I own a Delta CS Jet is very similar but may not be exact).
1. Harbor...
