Hock tools has a good web page on heat treating, http://www.hocktools.com/diyht.htm
The composition of O1 tool steel, which is the ideal steel for plane provides a fool proof method when the steel obtains the right color - it becomes non magnetic. Once your hunk of steel becomes non...
I'm surprised no one has looked at the knife making forums for heat treating. There are lots of knifemakers using a propane/MAPP powered forge using an old Freon tank and fire brick.

I tend to disagree with the replies regarding Visio. Originally Microsoft bought the company for its networking apps, but the new versions have all the architectural and engineering templates and...
Combo Blade
I have been using FSTools blades for over 10 years and they are great commercial quality blades. Generous carbide tips provide years of sharpening.
I use this blade as a combo...
Nice score. I found a 1970's era Uni which had painted handwheels. I used a 3M magic wheel to remove the paint - worked great. Results are a nice satin finish with a fine wheel. I assume you're doing...

The only show I see aired was January 2006, I can't seem to find a current viewing. What am i missing on the DIY schedule ?
I've been using Visio for some time and like it alot. Now I found Sketchup for 3D and have a very basic question. I've used the tutorials and it seems quite easy to use - so far. I have downloaded...
The ceramic guide blocks and bearing is way overkill for the hobbyist. Sure it's cool to say you have them, but unnecessary for light work. Remember people have been using standard guide blocks and...
I had a very similar on a 30 yr old I bought. I never did pull the top before I bought it to actually see if the pulleys were aligned. Once I rebuilt it, I noticed the blade wouldn't line up with the...
I'm selling Lignum Vitae guide blocks for $5 per set of 4, shipping included. These are 1 1/2" long, twice as long as cool blocks and cheaper to boot. Send me a PM for any more information.
There's a huge reclaimed yard in Los Angeles that has everything you might imagine. Here it is http://santafewrecking.com/

Bonhoff has no minimums that I'm aware of, I bought 30bd ft of african mahogany around christmas - no problems at all. They have any wood that you want all of it rough sawn, skip planing is...
I don't know whether I feel sorry for Doug and Ben. Across various other forums, many members have lost thousands of dollars cumulatively and who knows how many othe customers were taken. Taking...
I hope you enjoy your rebuild, I know I did. Here a link from Enco for the revolving handle on the tilt wheel. I drilled and tapped my wheel for this one:...
Just go to your local plastic/sign shop and get a piece of scrap plexiglass. Try glass shops also - most deal with plexiglass also.
Dev,
We use DHL/Danzas for all our international shipments which includes bonded warehouses. They have offices worldwide, so I'd check locally. They might be able to help on a consolidation which...

No rocket science here, I used a starrett square once the table was loosened aligned to front and back of the blade. Sometimes you get lucky, It took me about 15 min. Problems arise when you tighten...
I have this saw and it does it take two people, but only for aligning the bolt for the riser block. It's not too bad and you only have to lift the base 18" onto the stand. Once that was done I had...
