Hello Jay,

Hello Bill,
My input might be dated since I own the original, American made, Performax 16-32. The only change I've made to it was to replace the original hood so I could have a 4" dust port. I...
I believe Allen is right.
Long ago when I was infatuated with my plane's ability to take .001" shavings, I would often create this hump. With each whisper thin pass I would exacerbate the...
I've had my PM66 for about twenty years and have tried numerous dust abatement ideas. Here's what I've come up with that works pretty well.
First I put a piece of 3/4" plywood under the machine...
It is a cutter head they have in their system but not normally stocked; so it did have to be made. I ordered directly from Byrd Tools.
I'm just a bit concerned after a four and a half month wait...
I ordered a Shelix cutter head for my Delta Thickness Planer/Jointer in February. I was told it would ship May 25th. Okay.
I called at the end of May to check on the status and was told that...
This seems to be very important to you Chris. Why don't you call your regional Felder/Hammer representative and ask about their foreign affiliations.
Get back to us and let us know what they...
Yes Peter and Chris, I was told that Hammer sources parts from China by a Felder representative. I don't find it any inflection upon the quality of the finished product.
Look inside any product...
I've been told that many of the components are manufactured by Quingdao. This is not to cast any inflection upon the quality of the product. It seems worldwide you get what you pay for.
Maybe...
Where do you want it delivered to George?

Obviously there is a demand for the tools they sell or they wouldn't be successful. And sometimes nobody else has that special little widget that you need.
I can't help being cautious though. I...
Happy Holidays to all!
But let's take it easy on the Porter Cable profile sanders...
I love mine. But I think many of you may be using it wrong.
In order to use it properly, you open the...
I know that I built mine shortly after seeing Steve Latta using his first Lie-Nielsen's DVD on inlay and I don't regret it. I enjoy using it frequently.
Happy holidays to all!

In an earlier post I encouraged you to buy a new saw if that's what you want............ Well.... there is a used OMGA RN450 for sale on the IRS auctions dot com website. This company is not...
Christian,
I think this thread has somewhat taken on a direction of its own. I have a twenty year-old Delta 12" RAS that I bought new. I don't use it much, but there are times when it will do...
Which feeder do you have Mike?
I've been looking at the Comatic resaw feeder with the sandpaper belt feed. I have also seen their model with the large horizontal feed wheel. It may be...
If McMaster Carr or Grainger doesn't have it... you don't need it.
I'd like to see McMaster's printed catalog. I hear it exists. Must be a foot thick.

Oh yeah. Thanks for the reminder Jim.
I forgot to mention that the Mini Max comes with the mobility kit.

Well, I just placed my order for a S500P (MM20) on Friday.
I spent the better part of the last couple weeks trying to assure myself that I was making the right decision. My decision however was...
Okay, I use my shooting boards a lot.
I have a Lie-Nielsen 51 and I love it. I think what I like the most is the mass of the plane. It weighs near nine pounds and that weight carries it right...
Noted!
Never let my guard down.

Keep up all the positive writing!
We started a new home last year and I'm now hoping it doesn't kill me before it's finished. Just entered year two and hope to be moved in Summer 2016.
Keep...
This thread almost seems like deja vu.
I have a 1995 Powermatic 66. An excellent saw that I purchased because Delta didn't have a left tilt saw at the time. I've always been glad I did.

Mark,
The wood is up to ten feet in length, mostly 12", and KD. Multiply bookmatched and some figured. I don't think there is a formal designation for musical grade, but I'm pretty sure a lot of...
Hello Danny,
I received a sample board from this supplier a month ago. I compared it to another piece of 4/4 Claro walnut I purchased a year ago. There is a little over 4% difference according...
