Hi Joe, sorry about the delay...
I actually replaced all the brass bushings, wet sanded lightly all the dovetails to get rid of any rust and used a white lithium grease (light coat) to make it slide...

Thanks Earl! When it comes to the JP series, like you said it seems like everyone is getting perfection straight out of the box. With a simpler machine, I really don't see how I can recieve a machine...

Thanks Mike! The one reason I am even looking at them is the fact I know they make world class metal machines and I would think it's not to much of a stretch for them to but their name and reputation...

I have been looking at a Baileigh 8" parallelogram jointer with a helical head. I've seen reviews of their Jointer/Planer combo's but not of this model in particular. Just talked to James today,...

Ok Here it is. I have multiple pictures on a dropbox account and three part video explaining my dilemma...Let me know if this helps or if I can answer any other questions...Thanks for all your help!...

Well...I would like to but machine shops here run around 80 some per hr so...the cost my be preventitive...but im trying...

Thanks Phil, I will keep that in mind if I cant oversize the bolt and redrill and tap the existing hole...the present threads on both are mashed.

Thanks all for your input. I may have located a machine shop that has experience with powermatic jointers and also builds and maintains the machines a local eagle window and door plant. They will be...

Hey Dave, thanks, can you reply to my reply to the other dave, lol...about the gib shems? I am thinking this is where all my issues are coming from. Once I get both tables 4 corner coplaner (to...

So the counter sunk holes where the gibs seat are not original? They are pretty squished and deformed (look like the gibs were over tightened multiple times and they deformed the original...

I'll be trying that along with commercial if I have to resort to that.. Thanks!

Good Idea...I will try tomorrow night..

I'll be trying that worse case scenario..

Thanks Phil and everyone else that replied...Yep, looking at those options as well. but at what cost (for machining)? For 1200 I can get a shop fox parallelogram 3 hp...so the parts milling need to...

I tried but they were just as cnfused as I was. they tried sending copies of 2 manuals but both were wrong. they recommended I contact WJ Redmond (Redmond machinery). I will be doing that tomorrow...

Thanks Ken,
Actually, I don't need the bearings, just the outside bearing cap (non pulley side) that the bearing fits into and then is bolted from underneath through the actual jointer and the Gib...

Hey all,
Quick question, I have a powermatic 8" M60, an OLDIE I have been using for a couple years. I think 1960-70. Anyway I am in the process of tearing it down and cleaning it. Noticed I will...

yep, I will have to give them a shot. not too far, but I will definitely need to work on planning ahead. A two hour round trip is too far to go for one more board when I run short for some reason. I...

Thanks guys for the input. I guess I'm just gonna have to suck up the drive time...even the closest woodcraft or rockler are over an hour away, lol. But...I have made friends with a couple places in...

I second that. a former employer showed me how to nib off the toe and heal on the concave side first then make your final passes. Or, I've see him use the convex side and holding equal pressure on...

Wow, seems like an eternity since I've made some dust! I just moved back to Dubuque, IA from Racine, WI and boy, was I spoiled up there! For my rough sawn lumber, both domestic and exotic as well as...

I was wondering if anyone has any input on a fair price for a mint condition 10" Tersa head Model 510 (circa mid eighties) still in the box but without motor/belt and stand. Also what is the max...
