I'm turning a live edge mortar and pestle. I have the outside finished to perfection but I can't get the inside completely smooth. This is sanded to 320 and you can still barely feel the tearout. ...
I've been working these pcs of Bocote and after I finish sanding they look great but a few min later the outside gets darker in spots. Is it moisture or oil from the wood? I would like to finish...
I had some leftover hard maple so I made a new mallet today. Nothing crazy but it should do the job. I would have preferred a longer and thicker handle but i used what i had. I used hand tools for...
I taught my daughter how to turn a pen today. We had fun and I enjoyed having her in the shop. This was actually the first acrilyc pen I've done so we learned together.
I've been asked to make the tap handles for the grand opening of a local micro brewery. They procrastinated and need them ready to go by Friday. This gives me less than 5 days to apply a durable...
The quality of the Sawstop is top notch. I bought one for my dad as a x-mas gift because hes a surgeon and knew the tech was solid but had doubts about the build quality. Boy was I wrong, you...
I've assembled the parts to make a good quality air cleaner for my small shop.

My question is on...
I did 10 gauge wire and went with 20 amp breaker.
OK so I owe an apology to you all and especially Grizzly. I feel like a complete moron! The lathe wouldn't start or run because I didn't supply the proper power. In my haste to run an outlet for...
It's brand new just got it Friday. I'll contact them to get a new tail stock. I just wanted to make sure this wasn't an acceptable amount of play.
When I push in the green power button should it click and stay in? My green power button will not stay in and it doesn't click.
The outlet in the picture is a regular outlet the true outlet is in the corner that can't be seen and it is a 6-15 on a 20amp breaker.
On the inverter it displays "Lu" when I hit the on button.
The gap between bed and tailstock is .012 or .30mm which allows it to move slightly side to side.
I just got off the phone with tech support and they are unsure of how to fix the problem but they are sending me a new on/off switch to see if that gets it running. But the tech didn't seem real...
What is the acceptable amount of movement side to side of the tailstock. I attached a picture of how far off center the tailstock moves now I can get it to line up, but if I push it to one side or...
Yeah I tried that and I tried checking the breaker I even tested another machine on that outlet to ensure everything was running fine.
This lathe is a behemoth. It arrived in perfect condition the crate didn't have a scratch on it and everything was packed impeccably. I managed to get it set up within an hour with ease. It has a...
I just used my 5% coupon from the back of the catalog and my G0766 will be delivered tomorrow!!! Total with shipping I paid $1702. Not bad for a machine like this. I was looking at the Jets and...
Wow those are nice! I love the one on the right with the crack that almost goes through! :D
The base of my GWI is 34x26 and I know the MBF is smaller. I don't know if that helps.
10 years ago I bought a Dewalt GWI in good condition. I started doing research and noticed a lot of them being beautifully restored and had to do the same to mine. I pulled it apart and found...
I just moved from Atlanta and was really bummed to find out that there wasn't a woodworking store in this area. The other day I was driving by and noticed the tools in the window and stopped to...
I started my quest for an HVLP system with an Earlex 5500 in mind but as I did my research I came to the conclusion that I would need something with a little more power. I narrowed it down to the...
