I enjoy a combination of old and new tools. I have the skills to repair most anything. Rehabbing old planes and chisels makes sense. So would an old tablesaw. That 70yr old Dewalt RAS saw I...
Thanks Prashun. That was helpful. The round blades seem easier. When they stop making ultra thin veneer the time is near. I've not seen much burning so I am probably sharpening them in time. My...
Thanks. That is the BS blade I have now. I will order a new one. I put a 3/4 Timberwolf on and it cuts straight, but it is very wasteful with the wide kerf.
I am aware this question makes me sound like I started WW last week but that really isn't so. You could easily answer this question with "Well it depends", which is obviously true. I stopped doing...
Absolutely no doubt of that. Very few TV shows survive even a few seasons. There was little competition at the time for this hobby. I think it is safe to say NYW is the reason many other WW shows...
I received my new bearings from Amazon and all is well enough. It resaws like it used to. The OEM Rikon adjusting system is nothing but tedious though. I will probably install a Highland Woodslicer...
Norm was very entertaining. And he owes me about $10K for getting me into this thing. :)
That must be exactly what happened. There is nothing like that on my cam lock assy. Looks easy to fab a replacement.
I'll give that consideration over time. I've never used a decent band saw other than the Rikon. Rikon offers a tool less guide upgrade that looks slick, but it's $150, and I still don't know if the...
Happy New Years to all!
He is talking about guide blocks and not bearings I think?
They sold me the first set of bad bearings so there is that. :) I do love the saw. It's a very good value and I don't regret the purchase. I do a lot of automotive work and I knew the saw had...
I'm recently back to the forum and admit I may not completely understand the context of the OP. I'm not one that complains much publicly. I vote with my wallet on the next purchase. Production...
Same brand bearing I just ordered with a Thursday delivery date using Prime. We shall see. Fidget spinner craze is over and they will be a dollar soon enough and we'll always have an emergency...
Thank you. Yes they are skateboard bearings. 608RS Most of them have ceramic bearings but some are listed as steel. They are so inexpensive I can buy a few types and see how they last.
If...
Thank you so much Glenn. That was embarrassingly easy to fix. Had to make a significant adjustment but it works perfect again. I've checked the fence for parallel to blade and it was always fine...
I need to replace bearings on my Rikon 14" BS. I love the saw but the guide bearings were suspect from day one, and one or more noisy in short order. One bearing finally exploded and I need to...
First of all it's nice to see a few names I recognize on the forum. I haven't been very active in the hobby for years but I am excited to get the woodshop opened up this week. I am doing some tool...
This may sound silly but small tin cans such as tuna fish and 8 oz tomato sauce. I often use them when I am assembling or disassembling things in the woodshop, garage or household repairs. A...
They should always be turned for best results. Some things have changed since I started professionally doing brakes 30+ years ago. Many of the modern rotors are truly designed to be disposable. ...
Craftman for the woodworker. I wrenched for many years and think they are garbage in that application, but fine for your needs as you aren't going to run into siezed fasteners often . Do love my 80...
The Skil is right up there too. That was funny. :)
I watched a youtube video as I have never seen a lock miter. Looks like it is very much worth the effort to learn and set up. thanks George
I always read these threads with interest. In the rare event I can find 16/4 around here, it usually looks like it may split due to pith, or is the wrong color, species etc for the particular...
