    Once you have a bigger saw, you'll never understand how you managed without it. If budget and space allow, I would go bigger than 14" for sure (I have a 20). If you have limited space and some...

    First, if the machine has all its parts and is reasonably priced, run and buy it right now. You won't regret it. These machines were built to last a lifetime, and the bulletproof 24X20 table lets...

    Chris Fournier has it right. Measuring at the bearing of a router bit is a dead giveaway that it's time to put away the dial indicator.

    There's way too much emphasis on machine measurements in...

    I'm going to say that the first one is a silver maple or sugar maple (I don't think it's shaggy enough to be shagbark hickory). Any of them would do fine in the fireplace. :-)

    I'll second CWG and Moore's. CWG has the best selection.

    Moore's is a real old-time sawmill and has a more limited selection but good prices and it's the place to go for roughsawn pine.

    Well there's your problem! :D

    Stop sanding it and let it look like a "real" table saw.

    +1 for red oak veneer that could use more sanding (with care of course not to go through it)

    KTF's a Taiwan machine, like David said, probably 80s vintage. If you can test it under power and the price is right, get it. You can always sell it again. Don't pay top dollar for it, the legion...

    I wouldn't buy it, for several reasons:
    1. Any branches that saw can handle can be easily cut with a sharp pruning saw, and you don't have to deal with the cord.
    2. Low end Craftsman tools tend to...

    Search for "pasta express" on the web. It's one of those "as seen on TV" cooking things, and the main component is a clear plexiglass tube. They're around 10 or 15 bucks, cheaper on the web. I got...

    Your break shoe is in fine shape and doesn't need anything. Mine had been run for years on the bare metal and had to be built up first. 3/8 material's pretty thick. I'd recommend 3/16". For...

    You'll have to see it of course. One thing to check is that the owner hasn't done any home-brew repairs involving nails or glue under the top. Most people don't understand wood movement, and I've...

    I think your question is somewhat specific to the fence on your saw. Most often for cuts with the table tilted, I use a clamp on edge guide as a fence on the right of the band. Works great and...

    I'd reconsider gas and buy a Stihl. Always works, no messing with it, no quirks, more capable than any electric. It'll cost you more but you only cry once, instead of aggravating you every time you...

    I'm sure Lynn recommended that you pull the existing bearings and get the numbers and/or dimensions off them. They're going to be some ultra-common 6xxx size, there shouldn't be any rocket science...

    That sounds fine. If you're not challenging the strength of your thumbs with black rubber tires, something's wrong. There are several good methods on the internet for band saw tire mounting, I use...

    I've heard this too, but I doubt it's true. Such a "grading" process would make production flow more difficult and would result in unpredictable yields relative to orders. It is possible that some...

    Most skateboard lore about bearings is flat wrong. ABEC rating by itself defines certain tolerances but has little to do with bearing quality. I strongly suspect that most of those "ABEC 9" skate...

    Unless it's way off the middle (like so much you can't run a 3/4" band) I would not mess with it. You can check to see if the wheels are close to coplanar (1/8" is close enough). Once it's...

    Is it possible you damaged the teeth on one side? Good ways to do this are to tag the table insert somehow, or to have the teeth hit the guide.

    I've got one. These were made in the 70s and 80s. 14" swing over the gap, 11" over the bed. Assuming it's got the 4-speed pulleys it's a 4-speed :). Fits most of the Delta accessories going back...
