    Yeah, me too. I have the Tormek, and the jointer blade jig. It does a very good job. I've even done 15"planer blades, even though the jig isn't really designed for blades that long. As long as...

    Can't speak for the poly tires. I've never (yet) needed to use...

    Ed,
    Most of the dedicated mortisers - the small ones, at least - run at about 1750 rpm, and they work pretty well at that speed. So, run your drill at or just below that speed and you'll be okay.

    I don't know how 'interactive' they are, but you might try Noah's Lost Ark, in Berlin Center. They'd be about 60 miles or so from you.

    I've never tried to bend spruce, but since it is/was used a lot in boat building, I'll assume it's fairly bendable. Air dried, or (better yet) green wood will bend better than kiln dried stuff.

    It's easy to do if the new motor has the same mount, and the same shaft diameter as the original. Oh yeah, and is of the same speed, too.

    Why do you need to change to a bigger motor, though? Are...

    Bob,
    It's an annual get-together that Bill holds at his shop. This is the sixth or seventh year for it, I think.

    Yeah, that's my feeling, too. If they'd make it big enough to handle up to a 2-5/8" plane iron - like a #8's - then I'd consider it. If they'd just modify it up to 2-3/8, then it's at least handle...

    Are you sure it says "Victory", or does it say "VICTOR?"

    If it indeed says VICTOR, then it's a relatively rare plane.
