There are many adjustable shelf pin jigs on the market today and it seems like every time I get a new catalog in the mail, someone else has come out with one. Most of them seem to use a drill bit of...

Nice work Zahid - looks great. I like the pencil idea too. I may have a go at a double bar for mortise layout...someday.

okay I'll try that. The new crank has acme threads instead of regular ones so it shouldn't be much of a problem this time.

Thanks

I had some issues with my 14" Delta Bandsaw Tension Crank. It was getting hard to turn and eventually just froze up. I put together a video of my repair in case you have the same issue. Even if...

Thanks for the nice comments - makes it worth all the effort.

If you are interested in building your own marking gauges, I’ve just posted a blog entry and a video on YouTube. Feel free to check it out. This one is made from Osage Orange and Cocobolo....

Thanks!

Not really sure what it weights but its probably a couple hundred. I put it on plastic furniture pads to move it on the concrete floor and just left them under there. I can plane against...

I’ve video taped and blogged about my Holtzapffel Workbench at my blog, TheDustyDeveloper.com. There is nearly 2 hours of video (linked from youTube) in case anyone is interested. Its made from...

Well I haven't taken the top off because I've been able to get to a bunch of bolts, and a lot were loose including at least 3 of the trunnion bolts and 1 of the motor mounts so I've tightened them...

I contacted jet today and they told me how to take the slop out but they didn't think that was the problem they think it's either a loose trunnion bolt or a cracked trunnion. Hours of work ahead...

I was able to get my dial indicator attached securely to perform a bit more scientific test and its indicating that its moving .007" in the front and .002" in the back. I've uploaded 2 more videos...

Tom you are correct that this saw does have 4 bolts to rotate the top but that really isn't the problem - at least I can't see how it would be. As long as I raise the blade and lock it down...

I have a 4 month old Jet Xacta Deluxe 3HP, Left Tilt cabinet saw. I had noticed some vibrations (by sound more than anything) after I installed my zero clearance insert. It sounded like the blade was...
