Here's a link to download the Performax 22-44 manuals from my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jccljtir1rger30/Performax22-44Manuals.zip?dl=0 -- if there's any problem with the link, let me know.

Hire a local company to blow in some insulation - fiberglass or cellulose - you'll get much better insulation with a whole lot less work than trying to use batts.

I'm no expert, but if your...

If you need a copy, send me a PM with your email address.

Bill, you didn't say whether the cutting boards are still bare wood or if you applied any kind of finish to them.

If you haven't applied a finish, I'd strongly advise, at minimum, soaking the...

I always put feet on mine to keep the bottom from getting wet and (sometimes) to hide the imperfections of a not-perfectly-flat cutting board. My cutting boards are non-reversible and have hand...

Thanks for the replies. I believe I'll go ahead and order the few additional bits I need to set up a vacuum bagging system and see how it goes.

I did some more research this morning and, given...

Unless I missed it elsewhere in the thread, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the tool specifically made for holding the clamps while replacing the paper.

I'm working on a project where I'm resawing veneers about 12" wide and planing to ~1/8" thick, with the intention of laminating the veneers on both sides of a 1/4 or 3/8" substrate to build up a 1/2...

I heat and cool my shop year round - 40x40x11ft walls, R-16 in the walls and R-50-ish in the ceiling. Heatpump with propane backup. Thermostat set around 82 in the summer days, back to 78 in the...

Sorry about that, cleaned out my inbox. Send me a message with your email address and I'll send the files.

Indeed I would. It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it!

Thanks all for the suggestions so far - headed to Menard's over lunch to see what I can find. Hadn't considered the...

Need some advice - I've got a Kreg router table with a custom-built cabinet/enclosure and want to add an external power switch to control the router.

So I bought a Woodstock D4151 paddle switch:...

Success! I guess I got lucky - the guy at SuperMax Tools who got my email inquiry was an employee of the old Performax company and saved a copy of all the manuals. So I now have PDF of the manual...

Nope, mine is a belt-drive with the motor mounted under the table. The table moves up and down and the drum is fixed.

It looks like this (though this isn't a photo of mine)

Thanks, Glenn - I sent an email to their technical staff, hoping for a positive reply.

Thanks, Ted - I have a 16-32 also and this 22-44 is not anything like it... Guess I should post a photo or two, maybe over the weekend.

Add me to the list of folks with GFCI breakers in the shop. No problems at all and have never tripped with any of the tools I run.

The only thing I couldn't do that I wanted to was to run 12/3...

I just bought an older Performax 22-44 drum sander on Craigslist and am looking for a user manual for it.

I don't have the exact model number in front of me, but this is the version that has a...

Thanks for all the input. I needed to get this done quickly so tried several methods last night. I had 6 12x30 drawer fronts to finish for a storage bed I'm building for my college-age son - so not a...

What's a good way to trim edge banding flush?

I'm applying edge banding to a bunch of drawer faces made from oak veneer plywood. The banding is 3/4" so hangs over the edge of the plywood by a...

Thanks for the replies. My dehumidifier has a digital RH% setting, so I've put it at 55% for now and we'll see how it goes. The shop is an insulated and finished 40x40 pole barn but has 16x10 and...

Looks like Lowe's carries a line of Therma-Tru doors, but I'm guessing they're the typical quality-sacrificed-to-hit-a-price-point junk that litters the big boxes.

Do you buy yours from a local...

I replaced two entry doors in our house when we moved in 4 years ago and, not knowing any better, installed pre-hung metal doors from one of the Big Box stores (I believe they were Jeld-Wen brand)....

I've bought a dehumidifier for my workshop in hopes of keeping the humidity levels under control and reduce rusting of cast iron surfaces. Planning to plumb it to a permanent drain so it can run...

Multiple chucks makes life a lot easier. I've got 4 chucks at the moment, and probably 8 sets of jaws. So I still end up swapping jaws from time to time, as the "right" set is never on a chuck...
