    I enjoy a combination of old and new tools. I have the skills to repair most anything. Rehabbing old planes and chisels makes sense. So would an old tablesaw. That 70yr old Dewalt RAS saw I...

    Thanks Prashun. That was helpful. The round blades seem easier. When they stop making ultra thin veneer the time is near. I've not seen much burning so I am probably sharpening them in time. My...

    Thanks. That is the BS blade I have now. I will order a new one. I put a 3/4 Timberwolf on and it cuts straight, but it is very wasteful with the wide kerf.
  5. How to determine when blades should be changed or sharpened?

    I am aware this question makes me sound like I started WW last week but that really isn't so. You could easily answer this question with "Well it depends", which is obviously true. I stopped doing...

    Absolutely no doubt of that. Very few TV shows survive even a few seasons. There was little competition at the time for this hobby. I think it is safe to say NYW is the reason many other WW shows...

    I received my new bearings from Amazon and all is well enough. It resaws like it used to. The OEM Rikon adjusting system is nothing but tedious though. I will probably install a Highland Woodslicer...

    Norm was very entertaining. And he owes me about $10K for getting me into this thing. :)

    I'll give that consideration over time. I've never used a decent band saw other than the Rikon. Rikon offers a tool less guide upgrade that looks slick, but it's $150, and I still don't know if the...

    They sold me the first set of bad bearings so there is that. :) I do love the saw. It's a very good value and I don't regret the purchase. I do a lot of automotive work and I knew the saw had...

    Thank you. Yes they are skateboard bearings. 608RS Most of them have ceramic bearings but some are listed as steel. They are so inexpensive I can buy a few types and see how they last.

    Rikon 14" BS 10-325 bearing sources

    I need to replace bearings on my Rikon 14" BS. I love the saw but the guide bearings were suspect from day one, and one or more noisy in short order. One bearing finally exploded and I need to...
