You didn't specify whether this is a current model MFT/3 or an older MFT 800 or MFT 1080. Also whether this is the basic model (just the table) or the full model with the rail hinge and fence.

Just thought I'd check in with an update. I checked over the blade with a bright light and a magnifier and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Even the weld looked clean and smooth. I took that...
Thanks, Richard - the saw is definitely due for the maintenance you suggest. Will 3-in-1 oil work for those bearings? That's what I've got at the moment.
Thanks, Andrew. Do you think I should look for a crack with the blade on or off the machine? I could pull the blade manually a foot at a time on the machine. Am I looking for a hairline crack or...
This is an old 2003-era MM16, probably 1st generation (the included manual says 1st edition). I got it as a demo at a woodworking show in January 2004 and it was all set up, fully assembled, and...
Got this email today. I didn't get over there that often but I started going there in the 1980s when was just called The Woodworking Store. I suspect the long-time owner wanted to retire but sad to...
Despite decades of woodworking, I've hardly ever used t-track. Recently a I upgraded my miter saw stand (just an old cabinet) by adding fold-down wings. I included a t-track so I could use an...
This item is SOLD.
Thank you! Responded to your PM.

Thanks for that tip.

Thanks for everyone's replies. On suggestion of Andrew Hughes, I ordered a 5oz bottle of Old Brown Glue. I'll experiment with the remainder once the repair has been made. I'd heard good things about...
I have one chair to repair so I need to buy a new bottle of liquid hide glue. My previous bottle is several years old so I don't trust it. I probably used it for one simple repair, then it sat on the...
I don't have any real solutions but I would caution you to be careful of any fire department regulations that might govern emergency access, especially in NYC.
Thanks for that tip - I had seen that video before but forgot about it. I like his idea of using a magnetic strip plus the steel tape in a dado. I might just do exactly that.
Thanks for responding, Steve. I did look at that system but the scale is mounted on the fence. I didn't want a fence at all, plus it's expensive and not available until late March. For others it...
I'm building a miter saw stand with foldable wings and would like to add a stop system to the wings, but not a fence. Therefore I plan to embed t-track flush with the surface of the wings. I'd also...
Even though it's expensive and hard to find (limited quantities were manufactured), I think this - with a track saw - is the best approach. If I hadn't already built my own cutting grid and bought...
Looking for some advice here from the experienced finishers.
I'm using a reclaimed "butcher block" table top for the top of a desk for my teen granddaughter. The original table had some damage so...
Great idea to hang the holder on a cleat.
I highly recommend the P-Touch label printer I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HB8LNSY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think I saw those, Ole, while looking for a solution but the spacing was too close for my set with fat handles.
A while back I bought two sets of Wiha T-Handle Hex Keys, one 8-piece Metric set and one 10-piece SAE set. These are the SoftGrip type which have very thick handles. For a while I jut piled them into...
As of last year, Titebond has started using a 2-digit year code (i.e. ayymmddbat#). It's their Y2K moment!
Jon, I looked up the link that you posted - just out of curiosity, I don't need one. Here is part of the description:
"Also known as: 786564015079, 525, toe stubber, WMD505HB, WMD525HB, Wiremold,...
Actually, Jack, that hasn't been a problem yet. And my feet are very prone to finding things to trip over. I could have configures the locking wheels to be at the left end of the saw, with the levers...
