Delta offers both left and right-hand nuts. I don't worry about loosening as my work is small an I use mostly 7-1/4" blades for a host of reasons, not the least of which cost and safety - less chance...

My work requires that I change saw blades all too frequently, and to make matters worse, my nut on arbor threads, although 23 years old, had gotten rather stiff(probqble dings on threads which I...

I've been using satin Minwax Polycrylic for the inside of my boxes for many years. Even tho its five bucks/qt more expensive than EM6000 satin ( I use the gloss for the exterior due to superior...

I have a rather expensive digital timer rated at 120AC, 15A and a Leybold vacuum pump, 220 VAC, 2.0A. Can I wire just one leg of the 220 to the switch and control the pump that way? I realize that...

Holy smoke, I had no idea guys were so into saw blades like hand plane fanatics. When I asked, I figured a coiuple answers naming just a few, not a dozen or more.

I used to send my WWII back to...

The tires on the wheels are crowned, meaning curved. If the blade is not running in the exact centers, that means it is either running toe-in or toe-out, with the net result that it will not cut...

I bought two Woodworker II blades in 1998. Gad! that was 19 years ago and now they're both worn out beyond resharpening. I always felt that this blade was as good as it gets, but I've not kept up...

Right now I'm at maximum level of frustration after spending two days trying to get the top on. Nothing I do allows me to slide the top into position to line up those incredibly stupid cap screws...

It started with failure of the magnetic start switch that just plain wore out, contact points erroded to nothing. Replaced the switch with Woodtek MA-18 220V, 24 amp but in the interim, I wired up a...

Depends on how fast your bleed-down is (leakage) and how big of a tank you want to deal with. I don't have the space for a tank at my small laminating table. And there is also the issue of cycling...

For those of you who may be looking for a good quality vacuum pump, at a reasonable price, that won't burn up in a couple months, here is something to consider.

I've done almost daily vacuum...

I would say definitely NOT to link belts, they stretch and slip. The Unisaw belts are very short, hard to get on and off, plus there is only an inch or less of adjustment with the motor. That means...

I added a second 240 VAC line with another breaker to the panel. Had nothing to do with this circuit. The saw circuit was disconnected so that I could trace some wiring in the wall, nothing more. And...

I can't reach the wire connections to the motor but I got 120 on each leg coming out of the switch AND power to the start capacitor. Despite its impossible location I removed the capacitors (start &...

Dan, the switch is toast. One contact arm is burned through and the points have nothing left to file smooth. I've got a replacement on order.

Motors like this are indeed hard to damage, which is...

So what difference does it make if you are getting perfect cuts? If one is sawing veneers, saw set up is more important and that is mostly a matter of getting the blade to track exactly in the center...

If its sitting outside, that is everything. Called corrosion. I'm a retired yacht surveyor so I've seen a lot of corroded gensets. Their problem is mainly disuse (Use e'em or lose 'em)

I only know...

How do I do that?

I don't, but I have to start somewhere and since this motor is only 3 years old and is never overloaded (I make boxes) I've no reason to suspect this Leeson 3hp, 240 vac motor....

My magnetic switch for Delta Unisaw finally gave out after 24 years. I ordered a new one that won't arrive for ten days. That's too long to wait, so I went out and bought a double pole, single throw...

I have the Delta Shopmaster 4 x 36" used daily in a commercial operation for 7 years with no problem. It is NOT a heavy duty machine and I treat it accordingly. If you use it hard and really mash...

I bit my tongue and dismantled teh switch. It is much more than just a switch as it has thermal overload protection that a circuit breaker won't give plus it will prevent saw from unexpectedly...

I saw tropical hardwood 6" x 3/32" veneers on my Delta 14 every day and have found no need to make a big deal over blade tension. I use the tension that works best and years ago marked that on the...

No, for several reasons. You would need a custom made bag for that very long fabrication, and that would be quite expensive. Secondly, you can only get about 29 psi out of reasonably priced vacuum...

I had to make an alteration to my 240VAC circuit and disconnected it. When I reconnected the circuits, my Delta tablesaw would no longer start. Its a very complicated switch which I know nothing...

You should use a cylindrical chain saw sharpening stone so as to maintain the shape of the teeth. I use one that is slightly oversize so as to be sure to hit the tip of the tooth and ignore the back...
