    I have that riser block installed on my old blue Jet 14" bandsaw. The guard is installed and is visible in the video. It is open in the front as shown in the video. I think it is open to facilitate...

    Just another point about capacitors – the start capacitor failed on my Delta La 200 mini lathe. It melted so badly that I couldn't read the specs. I got one from Delta. I was expensive, took forever...

    I have a DVR and a McNaughton. Just as others have said, it is certainly possible to use the combination. My personal experience is that if I stall the lathe, it is not a gentle process. I find it...

    I have one of Lacer's smaller skews that I like a lot, it is my favorite spindle turning tool. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels much better in my hands than any of my other skews.

    I think the question depends on the intended use. I use the SuperNova2 with large jaws for large, heavy pieces. I have a G3 with small jaws that I use with smaller, lighter pieces. I hate to change...

    I did a little searching about this saw and found two references that called it a "near twin to the Central Machinery" bandsaw. You might check at Harbor Freight to see if a serviceable part is...

    I have used both the Oneway taper-lock and the Hosaluk handle insert adapters on shop-made handles. I like them because I find it much easier to sharpen bowl gouges without the handle attached. I...

    I've had an old style 2012 for a long time. The blades are disposable.

    I would take the bad sander apart and look at it. You can often spot a problem quite easily. I've had sanders that only needed serious dust removal to work well again. If you don't see something...

    I only corresponded with Andy briefly via email, but I was impressed with his sense of humor. I see some of his work posted here and I was awed by his turning ability. My prayers are with his family.

    I bought a DVR XP last fall. I chose it because it was easier to adapt to my short stature by building my own stand. I have been completely satisfied with it.

    When I looked at the photo of the drill press I wondered if the mating surfaces are machined or just cast. Perhaps there is something rough or even a foreign substance between the parts. I find it...
