Thanks Jamie, I have the cantilever guard and when I clicked on that, it only shows a one page manual. The picture shows the guard mounted on top of the extension table and away from the edges. I am...
Can someone tell me how the Brett guard is attached to the saw. I bought this on ebay about 2 years ago and it sat in my shop for a long time before I opened it. There was no manual and I have...
Thanks Allen. So that's why I've never heard of Linden wood. I turned a small bowl out of Basswood to try out my new lathe and it turned out okay for a first project. This tree is about 70 feet tall...
Hi all, I am very inexperienced with the lathe and I wanted to know if wood from a Linden tree is any good for turning. My neighbor is having one taken down soon and if it is good turning wood I can...
Beautiful piece of furniture. I love contrasting woods.
That is beautiful and the inlay really sets it apart from ordinary. Thank you for sharing.
When I saw your name on the post, I knew it would be beautiful. I am not disappointed.
I always have heavy tools delivered by liftgate. It is a little extra, but my driveway is all up hill and they back right up to my shop. You can use an engine lift to lift it onto a dolley with large...
That shaper looks as old as the bandsaw:D . Nice hunting. I wish I liked warm weather so I could go to yard sales in a retirement area.
Maybe, if you have a planer, you could turn the wood upside down and then level it using wedges. Take measurements and cut 3 wedges to run corner to corner on the wood. Then make a sled using the...
Now I won't need anything else. I've got everything I need.
Thanks for the info. Though the price does seem high, it looks like you would get a very nice chair worth much more. I bookmarked the site for when I think I have the ability to make one.
That is a beautiful piece. I have never seen anything like it.
I have the same bandsaw but mine was purchased new in 2003. Mine also has a 10" resaw max. I personally don't need more height than that. I bought mine for cutting curves and laminated bends and am...
Nice add on Glenn. I get the emails from Woodpeckers too. I have the same DP but don't have the table. Maybe next time. It sure looks useful.
Look it up at google. Delta still carries info on Delta/Rockwell tools. Rockwell was dropped by Delta in 1978, I believe. I don't remember what year Delta bought Rockwell International but you can...
My advice is keep what you have for now. You wouldn't get anywhere near the amount they cost new. As you work with what you have, then decide if you want different tools. The cheapest tools are the...
Thanks everyone, for the advice.
It looks good under your bench. Nice job on the bench and cabinet.
Anyone have the PM 2000 ? Is it a good saw ? I want to sell my Supersaw and get a real cabinet saw and just looking for experienced opinions. The new PM 2000 is a bit heavier than the 66 and $500...
Congratulations. I have the 17" Delta on a mobile base also, minus the weight, so far, I haven't had it tip after 4 years, but, I haven't noticed Richter scale mentioned on the local news either.:D
There will be more ideas and opinions, I am sure, read them all and do what is best for your use and money.
Hi Barry, welcome to the Creek. I have a Delta lunchbox planer also. If I were to upgrade, I would go for a sander like a Performax 18-36. I would keep my planer for thicknessing boards for glue-up,...
Beautiful, thanks for sharing the experience.
