Did you read the reviews on the HF website?
Often HF reviews are very informative and useful.
Most of this talk is irrelevant to the topic, which is doing it with Rockler.
I read through their stuff and it sounds very reasonable, removing more risk than reward IMO.
IIRC they switched the bushing to a ball bearing a few years ago
Thanks, I'll take another look at mine.
I was going to say "the answer is still no"; but then I remembered that I actuall did it by partially tighteneing the blade to get it as centered as I could.
But the teeth will not wear evenly.

A TS is able to support much longer stock than a BS; I don't recollect ever seeing posts on BS outfeed support like there are for TS's.
And what's the difference between ripping and resawing?
Which?
On my old CM and IIRC on my current PM2000, the limit is the arbor hitting the underside of the table.
+1, and I'm surprised that it's not a more common complaint; you're the first person to mention it that I've seen.
I'm often wanting to rip 4x stock, and I don't know of 10" saw that does that...
Granite is indeed close to aluminum in density, which is about 1/3 that of iron/steel.
Granite tops are heavier because they're thicker and not webbed.
Chrome plating was the first thing that...
Yeah, I felt pretty good about getting a new PM200o for a couple hundred off until I realized it was more than I spent on my Bridgeport (clapped out for sure but works fine).
Per above,...
? Power feeds mount right next to the handwheels, which are far from the spindle.
You could test this by restricting the airflow and see what happens.
might be too late, but if the rail in front were low enough you could just rotate it 270 deg and it would hang down out of the way.
1. Softness doesn't have anything to do with...
Put in a ball plunger or two on the side to spring load it.
I just did a quick calculation to see how much clearance should be allowed; assuming a 20" long throat plate, the differential expansion...
That didn't sound right, as all plastics have a much higher CTE than even high expansion metals like aluminum, though the reinforcement will lower it.
I looked it up in my materials reference and...
I don't think heat at startup is an issue for the motor windings, as the time startup time is brief and they have a lfair amount of thermal mass.
Not so the caps.
As a point of interest, I put...
You may have missed my point, which I admit is a bit academic..
A compressor and a fan may both have high starting loads, but for different reasons – the former because of high inertia and...
Is there evidence to support this or is it speculation?
I believe the problem is the huge rotational inertia of the impeller and the energy it takes to get it up to speed, not pushing air.
The...
Great, thanks.
Bruce, could you give some details?
Will, can the Ecogate be used w/o gates?
Even if it can, I suspect it's pretty pricey.
Pretty much.
You can set the FLA for the max rating of the VFD, and the acceleration ramp-up time to keep the starting current in check.
I guess the interest in thread length relates to being able to tighten down on narrower buffs.
You could just use a spacer sleeve made from PVC pipe or somesuch, which would also save having to...
If 3 HP is enough you could have gone with plan A.
[edit] oops, didn't see the previous post
That Shop Fox arbor looks pretty nice.
I looked at the parts list and it has ball bearings.
You could make it really versatile with a cheap used 3-ph motor and a ~$100 VFD like one on this page...
