I have had a Minimax SC4E now for about a year and have nothing but good things to say about it. It has a 8.5' table and I rip full sheets all the time with no problem at all. If I had a little extra...

Thanks for the help guys. I'll report back after I dig into it

Hi Derek, Im not able to get to 90 because of the stop thats correct. thanks for the link. I can post pics if you want. Both my digital angle cube and the readout on the saw read .4 degrees

Thanks Jim, I thought for sure you'd know... lol. I will send Sam a message as the dealer I purchased from doesnt really know either.

Hey everyone, I have searched high and low for the answer to this. I am trying to really dial this in as the 0 stop is off about .4 degree. I know its not much and probably of no consequence but I...

For sure you swirled a bit too soon. I had the same thin happen the first time I did deep pour. It is much slower setting than some of the others. The time at which to swirl is going to be different...

OK thanks guys for confirming what I knew was the right answer. I sort out of chuckled a bit after thinking over a while. I spent big bucks on the saw just to worry about a couple hundred bucks in...

Thanks Jeff, I always knew deep down that just ordering that same 3 blade setup that you did was the "right" answer. As the saying goes you have to pay to play right!!! So you have had good luck with...

Hi everyone, well I finally took delivery of my new saw and am in the process of setup. My question for the brain trust is did any of you format saw owners keep and continue to use your thin kerf...

I have to echo the comments on the Tersa head. I was initially a bit anxious about going from a spiral headed jointer to a straight knife set up but Ive got to say that I could not be happier and...

I'll also plug Tersaknives Inc. best price I could find anywhere and lightning fast shipping. Ordered over the weekend and my knives were in the mailbox Tuesday

So I grabbed the 4 inch Fernco and it works amazingly well. like it designed for it!! Thanks Jim

Ok thats great, Im a huge fan of elegantly simple fixes.....

Hey Jim when using the 4" Fernco how did you make the connection to the 5" flex hose? I assume the hose slid over the fernco but wont a clamp on that side just squish the rubber down as you tighten...

Hey guys just wanted to close the loop on this thread. Over the weekend I went and picked up that FS35. It had clearly seen gentle use other than the one broken belt we discovered under it when...

Ok. Thank you very much

I apologize for all the questions Jim I'm just having trouble finding detailed specs on the FS 35 Smart. The current owner states its running on a 30 amp single phase circuit. What size motor do...

I have typically used the 50% of new and adjust for condition also. I just don't know what that new price was. Does anyone have an idea? The other question I have is in relation to the Tersa head as...

So I haven't been able to find out what these were sold for originally and at this point I have not inspected it but what is a reasonable price if everything checks out and it is in good condition?

Morning creekers, I recently started a post about an upgrade to a 12" jointer and in that discussion another member pointed out a used one on CL in my area. I wasn't actually looking for a combo as I...

Im not in a terrible hurry no, Ive been dealing with a 8" jointer for a while now and just want to do the upgrade right. I dont need to have the biggest or best but needs to be a functional tool that...

Thanks for all the opinions, Im not brand loyal at all so everything is on the table. I do want some type of insert head. Im not opposed to a used machine for the right price. Matt I did see that...

The new Grizzly is intriguing, I like that they increased to 5hp as I sometimes think the 3hp on my 8 inch is a bit weak and I really was concerned about having the same sized motor in a jointer with...

Hi everyone, Im in the early process of upgrading my 8 inch jointer to a 12 inch unit. I would want to stick with a carbide insert head in whatever unit I choose. I currently have the Grizzly 490x...

Hey everyone thanks for all the great ideas and advice. I wanted to take a minute to update you on the status of this project. After discussing the challenges surrounding this project the client...
