It's not my favorite, but I do clean up the edges of plywood with a block plane. I figure it'll chew up the edge, so I want something brain-dead simple plane to pop out, hone, and get back to work...
Another option is differently thicknessed tails.
Layout your baselines on your tail piece. Now plow your groves so it will fall on a tail. Do all your stock. Saw your tails and chisel out the...
I have a near-complete set. I think I'm missing the 3/16 and 1 inch.
I like them a lot--just the balance and everything is spot on. The PM-v11 is just like a cherry on top.
Low angle jack plane. Get the twist handled on one face and get the opposite parallel however you normally do it.
Heh. Read the rest of it.
If you, the worker, are holding the wood or tool and can influence the action right now to improve or ruin the work, it's likely hand made.
Clearly NOT Hand Made...
I like the idea that Bob Rozaieski put forward. It's "hand made" when a human can screw it up. The example he used, which I think is perfect, was something to the effect of: "If you hook up a...
I recently picked up a set of Narex Butt chisels from eBay...well, I guess several months ago by now.
I found the lands to be ground better than the comparable WoodRiver line, which were also on...
Oops. Sorry, I found your old post. This suddenly makes more sense...
It should be safe to reverse the SuperNova. I have a G3 with a a Shopsmith insert. IIRC, there are two set screws. One to...
Um, what three-jaw chuck? You don't mean the drill chuck, do you?!
I also have a Shopsmith. Yes, it is supposed to be a 5/8" plain bore. You received the correct insert.
All Shopsmiths, from...
I have the Schempeck (spelling?) version of the saw, which Grizzly rebadged. I use two connectors on the pair of 24" tracks. Huge improvement from just one connector.
I popped the handled off and it's a simple, square-ish tang. I didn't take a picture, but whipping up a new handle was trivial. I had some maple on hand and drilled a hole in one shot slightly...
1) I cheated. I bought the Grizzly add on pack that has an anti-tip clip. It's primarily for when you bevel the saw, but it completely solves the tipping issue.
I have a 10er. I bought it used for about $150 and it came with the appropriate speed changer, though it required a bit of work to get it to a useable state. I used it stock for a good 6 months...
I thought the book mentioned that Studley's inventory included mortise chisels and the other "missing" tools not seen in the chest. They then speculated that they were likely in the drawers under...
Thanks. I was mostly concerned with a safe-ish but cheap way to package it. If it doesn't make it there, I'll be sure to blame you ;-)
Morning all.
Quick question: What's the best/cheapest way to mail a depth adjusting knob? I'm trying to send one to a beginner who needs one for free, so I don't want to pay flat rate prices. ...
Derek,
Not that you've necessarily got the optimal planes for it, but did you happen to test one of them as a single iron fore plane?
Is that "period correct?" This is going to be a surprise gift my mother and will be next to some actual antiques. It doesn't need to reproduction correct, but needs to fit in the room, if that...
I'm working on a lowboy/commodé looking chest. Roughly Queen Anne, with cabriole legs. The drawer space I have to work with, between the top of the bottom rail and the top of the legs, is roughly...
I too am interested--let us know if you find anything!
Seems that the 210 version solves the goofier parts of the 200. Both tables flip up in planer mode and seems to have a better fence. And...
Using 10/3 everywhere is not a bad plan and I'll have to think about that one.
And yes, I didn't even mention lighting because yes, it'll get its own circuit.
While I I like the idea of use 12/3 for 110, I feel like a single circuit will come back to haunt me. And I have ambitions of a couple larger machines. The last thing I want to do is under-power,...
I was coming to the same conclusion, though 90a would probably be more than fine for my uses. Of course, 4/0 SER is cheap enough I could do that and be over built.
Well, 4 wires for a sub panel. Hot, Hot, Neutral, and Ground. Isolated ground at the sub panel and that jazz.
