Hi Jim,
I just came across your thread. I had a 66 made in 2006 or so - very near the end of the line. I was very disappointed with mine and after seeing the guts of yours I realize that they...
I used to own a 66. Don’t fall for the 66 myth because it has a life of its own not related to the realities of later model PM 66s. The later yellow/gold ones are over rated. I actually had one ...
274736 A home-made handle turning a threaded rod through a captured nut and in a fixed plate. This has worked for me for decades.
My old American-made belt sander finally gave up the ghost. It didn’t owe me anything. But, rather than buy a Chinese or Mexican Porter cable I decided to buy a Japanese belt sander. I chose...
Ok. I have to be somewhere in about 15 minutes so I could not read all the posts I could only scan them, so forgive me if I missed something. This guy means well. Fine. I don't think he should be...
Here at Neanderthal, as well as on other forums people have asked whether its worth buying the more expensive Arkansas stones. I payed some good cash and found out the hard way that like anything...
Jeffrey,
I had a powematic 66 of about your vintage . Brand new right out of the box it gave crap cuts no matter what blade I used. I had the bearing and arbor replaced and the same unacceptable...
Bennet references "the Debates" in his statements about his reputation and company. I found the site frankly weird. It was a litany of defensive statements and "philosophies". It seemed more like...
I like reading it in bed - its another form of porn
As I mentioned earlier in this thread I just bought a Lie Nielsen because the Wood Rivers I was looking at had chip breakers that didn't even reach the edge of the blade. I don't have a dog in this...
I recently went to purchase a Woodriver v3 #3 smoother. Turns out that whoever makes these planes ground the chip breakers far too short. You can only set the chip breaker to within about an...
England: That make actually makes sense. Its where Stanley also produces those horrible Baileys with the plastic totes and knobs.
I had a sweetheart plane for couple hours once. The A2 steel blade turned into a comb. I reground it on a Tormek four times. Same thing over and over: a few passes (in poplar for Pete's sake) and...
+1 Larry, mine was American ply still LOTS of voids
I'm glad Rick has had good luck with his combo, but there are a lot of complaints about the Jet, enough to have steered me away from it. While were on complaints, you might want to look into...
I been in the renovation business a long time. I'm always coming across poorly done work. We rip it out and do it right. Whoever framed that in the first place was a slob. Don't be slob. Just...
I have never heard an owner who was happy with the Grizzly sharpener. If your going to buy a Tormek (I've had one for six years) I should warn you that the drive wheel are plastic and have a...
Kieth, I certainly hope your going to insist on getting your money back. The Gold standard stuff is hog wash. I had a PM 66 it was junk too. I looked into their jointers and found complaints...
Joe,
The jig Bill suggests is a nice easy way to go. The only drawback to any type of jig of this sort or for that matter any method that relies on a fixed ratio between the edge of the work...
Glad your OK. I got my SS from the ER too. I lived in a two family home and my tenant was the chief resident at a local hospital. A piece back walked my hand into a dado blade. My tenant who was a...
Lots of good advice here. Another thought is quartersawn white oak. Many period doors are quartersawn white oak though more often exterior rather than interior. Its very stable. Whatever you...
I've had the t7 for years and love it. Contrary to some information you have received here you can flatten the back of chisels on the t7. You use the side of the wheel, not convenient, but you can...
Its probably a Segway.
How about some big boy tool reviews and some big boy woodworking? I'm tired of such inanities as "which table saw had its table aligned most precisely out of the box?" Who cares I'm going to tune...
