    What kind of wood?

    If it isn't a species that is very oily you should be fine without planning the edges again. If it is a species that is oily wipe the edges with acetone before gluing.

    I have made several wood zero clearance inserts for my Powermatic 65 (predecessor to the PM66). On the first cut I use the fence to keep the insert down while raising the blade through it. After...

    I love how well and fast acetone cleans stuff so thoroughly. But on reflection there is a center window (which compromises the majority of the door) which has a plastic frame. Acetone on any kind...

    If it is salvageable I would say it is definitely worth restoring! I believe the Unipoint radial arm saws are now made by Northfield and I believe parts are still available.

    I would recommend perusing CL and FB market place for where ever you are traveling if you are hoping to score a deal. Lots of people around here sell burls in small qualities.

    I would consider making the handles removable. Large Charcuterie boards with big handles are difficult to store.

    That JessEm hold down looks WAY over priced for applying a vertical hold down force. In my experience a horizontal force to hold the stock against the fence is much more important / useful. The...

    I always do my own brakes. A brake job is one of the most overly inflated service price wise for what you get. If you can change a tire you have done 50% of a brake job.
