Thanks for all of your advice.
I just bought my first palm router (Bosch PR20EV) and now I need ¼” shank bits for it. I’m looking for advice on what type of bits to buy and specific brands that you could recommend.
Thanks for all of your advice on my fence issue. So far I've did a little light scotchbrite work on the fence tube and on the saw table. I had some 10 mil UHMW tape that I have been experimenting...
I have a Delta model 36-444 contractor saw with a Biesemeyer 79-016 T-Square fence (52"). It was purchased new in 1999. I have used it very little overall and, in the past 5+ years, almost none. I...
I have a Delta 36-480 10" contractor saw with a 52" Biesemeyer fence that I bought in 1999. I thought I would use the large rip capacity but over the years that hasn't happened and the saw takes up...
Thanks to everyone for your responses. Now I have to see which of these materials I can locate in our area (New Orleans)
I have several posts supporting my front porch. Each post has some decorative facing trim on the lower 12". This facing is 1X material about 6" wide. It was originally installed with mitered...
Count me in.
As I recall, I just hold the drum with one hand and loosen the retaining screw (left-hand threads??) with the other. I don't seem to need to tighten it up very much and can always loosen it this...
Richard - Thanks for your advice. Cypress is something to consider. It's available around here and not terribly expensive.
I am thinking about replacing my wood shutters. The existing one are original equipment and are, in some cases, starting to rot along the bottoms. They are strictly decorative (i.e. non-working). ...
Yesterday I finally got around to installing the capacitor that I bought from TEDSS. That seemed to solve the problem and the BOSS is up and running again.
Thanks for the feedback. We live in the New Orleans area so I'd better get moving as it is already getting above 70F many days. Some of my past problems have been made worse by trying to finish...
I have a solid mahogany leaded glass (half-glass) front door. It is relatively protected from the direct sun by a 6' wide front porch. However, it still suffers from the exposure. It was stained...
Dave - I may. It seems a little pricy with the extra $14 for S&H but it's a lot cheaper than ordering a new motor. I think I'll wait a little more to see if anyone discovers a better deal. I have...
I received a response from TEDSS.com today on their Item ID: 2020005635
They say it is 1-1/8" x 2-1/8". They sent a photo and it is a similar configuration to the old Delta part number. The MFD...
Count me in.
Dave - My BOSS is doing exactly the same thing. I didn't remove the motor as it looked like more of a job than I wanted at the time. Thinking it might require a new motor, I looked up the price of...
You might consider Wall Lumber in North Carolina. Their site shows 5/4 red oak at $2.95 (plus freight) for 100BF min. I used them once a few years ago with good results.
Thanks for the replies. I think that the cover has been off for a while as the machine has sounded a little noisy to me for a while. One of the gears is plastic and the other appears to be metal...
I have a BOSS OSS machine (31-780X) that was purchased in 1999. It has seen very little use. I turned it on today and noticed it was a little noisy. I turned it over on its side and noted that the...
BTW - is the offending portion the same distance from the jamb when you look from both the outside and the inside? I ask because there needs to be a bevel [3* ??] on the edge for the door to clear...
Thanks to all for the advice. The seasonal (hot weather) sticking seems to indicate to me that the problem is swelling of the door and/or frame. We live in south Louisiana so the heat and humidity...
I have a leaded-glass mahogany front door (with sidelights) that sticks terribly in the summer months. In the fall and winter it works great. I've tried lubricants (soap, silicones) but nothing...
