    be an issue for you, but space might be. Have you ever stood next
    to one? The footprint is huge! The tables are 100"X26" plus you...

    I just finished restoring a 40 year old Delta VS drill press. It runs as
    smooth today as it did the day it left the factory. The runout measured

    Your best bet for fairing curves is a flexible batten with the sandpaper

    Your description is rather vague. Is this to be a deck hatch with hinges

    Greg,
    I own a 260D. If you are into older industrial machines, the 260 is
    about as nice a saw as you could ever want. I've never heard
    of anyone regretting buying an older Oliver machine. It does...

    My boat goes offshore and that hatch

    custom yachts that cost millions and sail all over the world.

    $300 for a unisaw and an RPC? Are you kidding? I would snap that
    up immediately! If 3 phase scares you, you could always swap out
    the motor for single phase and sell the RPC.

    Why not? It's no different than making boat parts in wood. I'd definitely

    The hinges are actually chrome over bronze. The parts were cut out
