Edwin and Ken are correct that it sounds like the Carter Stabilizer. I bought one last November from Peachtree Wordworking's Cyber Monday 15% off sale. It works very well; yes, there is some time...

We all deserve to get lucky now and then. Congratulations on the great find, Tim. Enjoy these new to you items. And I echo Allan's sentiments.:)
I visited there in 1981 and returned there with my wife in 2006 for our 15th anniversary. Stunning and shocking to see how something that took centuries to build could collapse in the course of an...
Just a quick update on this thread from last month. Triton is sending me a new 1/2-inch collet. Customer service was great. Thanks again to all who helped me to resolve this issue.
Thanks for the additional advice, Charley and Ronald. I will secure these wires with something much better than a wire nut. I very much appreciate the help.
Thanks for the advice and diagnosis, Charley. I rewired it just as it was when I undid it when I took it apart. It had always worked fine before (I can't imagine that this thing was ever wired for...
A number of recent threads have been about replacing fluorescent shop lights with LED. A number of you have recommended the Feit LED shop lights sold at Costco. I received my Costco Savings Coupon...
Last night when I turned on my drill press, the motor hummed, but didn't turn the spindle, and then white smoke came out of the little connection box cover that attaches to the side of the motor. I...
With Virginia winning on Saturday night and Michigan State losing, I'm the last one standing in my bracket pool, which will net me about $450. So, I'm thinking of some shop upgrades. My work bench...
Jon: It's pretty easy to do (I just had to do it to repair the fan housing--which I referenced above). Here's a very easy-to-follow video that explains it....
Thanks for the feedback on your communiques with Dewalt. I may experiment around and remove the impeller and see its impact on performance. I do get chips that back out the front of the machine when...
Josh: Where does Dewalt make this recommendation? The manual explains that the machine comes with two dust ejection ports, one for connecting to a four-inch dust collector hose. So, where do they say...
I came across this article the other night in which the author shared the files he made for some common workshop items---bandsaw plate inserts, dust collection fittings, Magswitch jig pieces, etc. I...
When I bought mine used, it came with the folding tables. Once I properly set them, I've had no snipe to speak of (and they help with long boards).
I've had this planer (bought on Craigslist) for about 4 years and have found it very reliable and have successfully planed all kinds of stock and species through it of varying lengths and widths. I...
As a hobbyist, bought all of my used stationary tools off Craigslist. I started with a contractor table saw, router and router table, drill press, planer, band saw, and sliding miter. In many ways,...
Jack: I recommend that you watch the two review videos that Stumpy Nubs did, which directly addresses your question as well as some of the other points of discussion raised in the thread. He switched...
Mike:
I may take you up on the offer (and you're welcome here); I am in Harrisonburg, VA (less than 2 hours---I drive up that way with some frequency). I am especially interested in seeing how...
Thanks, Steve (and others). I have SDD and separator so all of the chips go into a bucket like yours. The prevailing wisdom seems to be to leave well enough alone.
I recently a few articles and videos that recommended that the Dewalt 735 planer need not be connected to a DC system because it creates chips rather than fine dust and that it has a built-in...
Frank, I have found the router table to be the easiest tool in the shop to get consistently excellent dust collection. Like you, I had the PC 690 and several years ago I built my own version of...
Jack:
Here's a picture of the stand that came with my Dewalt 735 when I bought it off Craigslist. I don't ever move it, but it came with nice wheel set and would be easy to build something very...
Well, I worked on other things yesterday and then did some real work (like catching up on grading).
I addressed the problem with fresh resolve this morning. And problem solved. Bohdan's advice...
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Malcom. I bought via Tool Nut--on sale--not a five-finger discount. Other than try the hose clamp, I've been reluctant to try much. I'm focusing on other things today...
The quarter inch collet that I want to install is attached to a collet nut. That's why I think the 1/2 inch one in there is defective or broke. As I unscrewed it, the collet remained in there. It's a...
