I like rubber cord with plugs I put on. I don't like PVC cords, too stiff, too easily sun damaged.
I use 14 awg for general use but also have a couple 12 awg cords around. 10 awg is overkill...

That's too bad, sorry to see them go. In need to order some sanding sleeves I guess, that is the one thing I still buy from them (for a Woodtek sander).
I can't say as I'm surprised however. I...
Well I sure wouldn't do it.
But I have seen an old timer with all ten fingers do tenons with two blades and a spacer (tenon thickness) stacked on a shaper and the tenon cut using a crosscut guide...
Fair enough - I'm definitely guilty of not reading closely.
10 mil at the chuck is bad, but not as bad as I've seen from repeated drops. In most cases a mag drill is not considered a precision...
Dam dude! 10 mil runout at the end of a crazy long spade bit is nothing to complain about! You just add errors measuring runout anywhere but at the taper.
I've seen mag drills that really were...
I've certainly been dinged more often by the drill press than by any other machine. It's an easy machine with which to become complacent, since it's fairly quiet, has no large spinning toothed...
I have mine bolted to it's stand only because that stand is bolted to a mobile cart. If you don't plan to roll it around the shop, there's no need to bolt it to anything.
Drill presses are a...
Being owned by Bosch doesn't make their stuff any good in and of itself. Last Vermont American bit I had was probably 5 years ago and they were still of marginal quality then. When nothing else is...
Honestly, I think people worry far too much about flat.
I've been using this for years, it's not flat and it just doesn't matter much:

Fancy stuff and dead flat is nice, but I'd rather...
It is nothing to do with drilling or crushing rock - way too delicate for that and I've yet to see decorative feet on even vintage mining/milling equipment.
I would guess it is something in the Ag...
Yep, that's what I think it was too. If the bit had been a Vermont American or something of that order I would be less certain - I've had the carbide come off of those under normal use. Never had...
The green one does not look like a Canadian General to me, looks like an import saw. The 590 I have is a cast frame saw with a hinged cover, that saw looks more like a C-frame saw with two screw on...
What I learned is that you never mill with something that has a Jacobs or even Albrecht chuck. If there is no provision for a collet chuck, you do not mill with it.
That setup would be useful for...
Man! That sounds like a great unit for the money.
There are exhaust filters available, though they do tend to be expensive. Vacuum equipment seems to suck the bills right out of your wallet! :D
I usually lay the sheets flat on the two sides of the bed at the front (87 Toyota pickup) and strap it down tight with ratchet straps. If you do the catywompus thing in a small truck it limits what...
I used to pack several full sheets in my 1970 Jeep Wagoneer. Fold the back seat up, roll the back window down, worked great. Another one of those trucks I never should have parted with :D
I can...
That is what I would plan on too. Even if the cord is horrible expensive, it's still going to be cheaper than all but some Harbor Freight knock off. Then there is not continual fueling up, exhaust...
Fair enough, that sounds like good advice to me :D
Sounds like you've gotten plenty of good advice here.
I've used a lot of West System in a shop where we did about 60% mesquite work. Lots of voids and stuff to fill. We dyed it black with...
Yes, obviously. Just remarking appreciatively on a guy coming at a problem from a different direction when presumably he did not possess the wedges. Lets not get too pedantic about this stuff.
Interesting, I had just assumed that it would form a solid chunk if bad. That sounds very plausible though. The stuff does last indefinitely out here where it's dry. I bought two pails of it for a...
Interesting, learn a new one now and then :D
Sounds like Weldwood plastic resin glue. As Mel says, brown powder.
You mix it with water and then use it for veneer or bent lams. I forget the ratio, but I have it at home if you're desperate...
Yep, that method works.
You can also greatly reduce snipe by checking that the rollers in your planer table are as low as possible, consistent with proper stock feed. That may be the adjustment...
