    I don't think there is a crown, but I'll sure check it. I tried loosing the screws, but this didn't seem to be a very good solution as the screws were almost clear out of the bar and I knew that a...

    Expansion joint question

    I have a concrete driveway which was poured about 20 years ago using 2x4 divider/expansion joints. They are now due for replacement. I am considering so-called "outdoor wood" and Redwood, but I am...

    They make special pads for the feet. Any real air compressor dealer will have them. I put them under my 60 gal tank 7 or 8 years ago and they really keep the compressor from walking around.

    The main function of a TS is to cut, usually rip, material straight with accuracy. To get those results, your saw must be properly aligned with no worn or defective parts that will alter the...

    I'll bet a front handle could easily be added to the Grizzly. At least that's what I'm going to try when I get mine.

    Sharpening Jig??

    I have to confess, I can't sharpen anything! I've screwed up chainsaw chains, chisels, planes, and knives trying to get an edge. I have seen ads for a jig that might be the answer for a dull minded...

    Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll try sanding the H&L pad down. I did try removing it, but it seem like it wanted to tear into the pad. Nothing to lose by trying since this pad won't hold at...

    H&L conversion to PSA

    My Makita 5010 ROS works great except that it goes through the H&L pads too fast. I've heard it is possible to convert to PSA, can anyone give me details on how to do this?
