Thanks for the replies.
Allen - do you notice a buildup on your wheels? Do they cut better after cleaning?

Ooops, forgot to include the link... Norton Dressing Stick: For Diamond / CBN Grinding Wheels, 6 in Overall Lg, 1/2 in Overall Wd, 1/2 in Overall Ht, White - Gamut
Apparently they can deglaze -...
Apparently these will deglaze diamond and CBN wheels, anyone tried them (or something like them)?
Dan
I'd like to learn you burning technique. I love the ebony top!
Dan
373450What is the top made of, solid wood or ply? If solid wood, the top and bottom should not be glued directly to the sides, but should be fit like a raised panel into stopped dados cut into the...
MY MM16 has a very slight crown visible when a ruler is laid on it.

I had the same problem, ended up buying an eight inch Freud glue line rip blade. That not only gave me a a rip blade that I din't have, but because the teeth are flat on top, it can be also used for...
I know you are well into your project and may not want to deviate from your plan at this stage, but I was looking through some old Wood Magazine issues the other day, and recall seeing an unusual...
I got mine from Holbren Whiteside Router Bits, Byrd Shelix Heads and Other Woodworking Tooling
It's been a while, but I think I got a discount based on SMC or Woodnet membership. Wouldn't hurt to...
It's not just the drift factor I'm after- the stock fence is warped. It's square to the table on the near end, but gets progressively unsquare all the way to the back. There is no way to adjust this....
I'm looking into getting a Driftmaster fence for my MM16. I have seen the directions for mounting to an MM20, but haven't found anything about the MM16 specifically. I would assume there would be...
Pretty good chance your local public library would have a copy of the magazine. If all else fails, you can order the plan online for $15.

My grandfather made a bb gun trap for us to shoot at in the basement of his house. I am having a hard time trying to describe it, but think of it as a sandwich - a plywood backing board, over that a...
Wow, a pretty wide range of responses! MiniMax has surprisingly little detail in their manual on specific maintenance procedures. Seems to some sort of grease on the pillars now, but it hardened in...
What do you use to lube the round posts that support the planer table? My MiniMax has two, one large in the center, and one smaller. Mine need to be cleaned and lubed, but I'm not sure what to use,...
Thanks for your replies. I ended up going with a fence riding style with an open bottom as Doug suggested. I will add a replaceable 1/4" piece of mdf on the trailing slanted support for zero...
Might be a good idea to call around to local high grade lumber places - we have one here that will cut anything. They have a bin full of half sheets of stuff. Makes sense for them; there are lots of...
Table saw. Main use would be for boxes and picture frames - for keys to reinforce miters.
Dan
There are two types of miter key sled - one rides in the miter slots, the other against the fence. Which do you prefer and why?
It would seem that the fence riders are easier to make, but would...
If you can't find the Jessem model you want, you might consider DowelMax, a very nice little item.
Dan
A comment on Amazon for Muscle Chuck said that due to the tolerances they are made to they can be picky about what bits they will accept, any dings of high spots can prevent a bit form entering...
My MM16 says 149" right on the saw. I think it has 14" resaw capacity, was made just before they went to the 5 horse motor.
Dan
First let me say that I'm sorry if my tone has become argumentative, I'm really just trying to sort things out and thinking out loud here. I don't wish to alienate anyone. I am in the process of...
Hmm, having the blade parallel to the slot is the most important adjustment to make, as all other adjustments are made with the assumption that table and blade are indeed parallel. That is the...
William NG has a great video explaining the five cut method and how to build a cutoff sled. I highly recommend watching this!
In it he shows how to do the calculations necessary to determine...
