Larry,

Thanks for the feedback. I bought the Earlex 3000 system last night (on sale and with a $10 coupon). That aboput stretches my hobby budget for the month (I'm also finishing up my work...

I'm sure this is a low-level question, but can I put the Benjamin Moore WB Impervo (acrylic enamel) over the interior/ exterior latex primer I already put down? If so, could I use the Wood River...

I wish I'd asked before... I'm already done with the base and the lamination of the top (with the exception of the endcaps). I am just trying to figure out the endcap and apron part of the design.

Also, which sprayer?

Ok, I've already primed with a Latex interior/exterior primer(used the critter), what are my options now?

David,

I've purchased a couple books (one by Landis and I can't remember who authored the other one). I think almost all the benches I've seen have either a tool tray to absorb the expansion of...

I've been reading this thread with great interest- Looking at buying either the Harbor Freight HVLP system for $90 or the Wood River Gravity Feed gun sold at Woodcraft for about $35. Both are within...

To add to the confusion I came across this plan:

It shows half-blind dovetails on the front and what looks like an tongue in...

"Full width sliding dovetail" sounds like it should be interesting- I'll look into that as an option. To be honest, a tiny part of me wants add a tool tray just to avoid the complexity.

JTK,

Thanks so much. One of the reasons I am struggling is that I didn't want to put in a tool tray. If there is no tool tray, I don't know where the expansion will be compensated for. Without...

Jim,

Thanks for the welcome. I've actualy been looking for a few days now- I've seen the "Traditional Workbench article" you hyperlinked. Here is the passage I'm referring to (In blue):
My...

One more thing- Using 2 (7") Jatoba boards on either side of a 7" Maple board. There are also 2 (2") dog hole strips made of maple.

Hello all, I guess I'm just not getting it. I have three 7" slabs (milled to 1 7/8" thick) that I will be end-gluing for the bench slab (with two benchdog strips). I'm putting the same 4 inch...

Is this the one?

Has anyone ever used their outboard on a lathe as a buffer? I was digging through posts and haven't seen that yet. I did read that the wheel should turn CCW. That further makes me think that it...

Thanks! I ordered my VFD Monday

Does anyone have a picture of their 46-807 Delta Safety shield installed? I have all the parts and have gotten the exploded parts diagram from OWWM, but still can't seem to make it work. ...

Thanks Allen- I'll be calling them on Monday to order the VFD. TAch is a little rich for my blood. I'll be careful.

Also, where did you get the RPM indicator?

Alan,

Thank you for the feedback! If I understand it correctly, I will still have the mechanical speed change as well- so I can minimize the low torque by mechanically changing the speed as...

Looking to order a VFD for my 46-450 lathe with a 3-phase motor. I want to use 110V/single phase in and get 220V/3-phase out. I would also like it to be reversible. Is there something else I...

Thanks Bill. Looks like I'll be bypassing the start switch that's on the lathe.

After multiple posting of threads, PM's and direct feedback- it occured to me that all of you must be telling me the same thing for a reason... I am going to return the 110 V / single phase / 1.5 HP...

Rollie to me (the definitive untrained eye) it appears that I can wire this for 110 using the same color code? Black either side of switch and white to other side (tapped off from motor connection)?...
