Routers achieve their HP rating by extremely super hi RPM's(peak HP) but at the cost of torque, on the other hand conventional electric motors achieve their HP rating with much lower RPM's and much...

This will be my next purchase, glad to see more of these getting exposure. You're a lucky guy, Enjoy!

Take it back for a refund and then find the Steel City DP, it has the split housing design and adjusting clamp to compensate for quill wear/slop. This design was originally used by Clausen Industrial...

Did you realign the two pulleys?

I installed three on a mirror rail/stile framed door, after three months the soft close function stopped working.

I am happy with the Shop Fox 20" with add on Shelix cutter head and rubber out feed roller (pre Chinese). This SF model along with Steel City's and PM's come out of the same Taiwanese factory.

Phillip, You are so correct in seeing the light in restoring older machines for a fraction of a new commercial grade machine and getting away from the Asian crap that seemed for awhile the way to...

You can certainly find many excellent used machines on eBay at a fraction of the cost of new this is what I did. My DP is a Wilton 2015 bought for $600 + 278 S/H + restoration cost of $125.00 =...

Clausing (this was my first choice), older Powermatics 1150A,
Wilton (American mfg), Older Delta commercial. Commercial grade Taiwanese DP's are very well made heavy accurate DP's. I am beginning...

It seems this whole country is trying to kill their brands for sake of short term high profits. I remember back in the early 90's the Japanese warned the US that American mfg. was only concerned of...

Going over Craigslist/eBay I have found plenty of Clausing VS DP's which is about as good as it gets for small shop DP's.

I looked at the 2800's and was not impressed, quality control issues abound, noisy drives, vibrations, sloppy quills this is not typical PM machinery more like Chinese out sourcing. I refuse to...

I went through the same frustration looking at VS DP's only to be dissatisfied with all common offerings i.e. Chinese made crap (noisy, sloppy quills, no weight or mass). And this is what I did,...

Beautiful machinery, I really believe combo machines are the way to go, much less space required.

Enjoy your new equipment, Dana

Yea, This drill press is 18 years old and mechanically was in excellent condition, I popped the metal shields off the bearings cleaned and greased with premium Caterpillar hi speed ball bearing...

The previous owner painted over the original paint with battleship gray and used what appeared to be a small mop, very unsightly. Much better now!...

And when and if you contact Jet's tech support of your finding they will inform you those numbers are acceptable as I have been thru this before with them. Their production QA or lack of production...

Quite a surprise aren't they!! I to was taken by shock to see what a showroom they have and was so swayed to purchase my Jet 1642 lathe from them and to boot they price matched an online web ad for...

I have the little Grizzly 1-1/2 HP shaper and it was ok until I got serious with it, the table is to short for long boards is not stable and is just an all around pain (access to changing bits,...

I have worked on both machines by replacing their cutterheads with Byrd heads and there is a big difference.

1. The machining on the Grizz 8" parallel joiner is horrible, the area where the...

I got one for 75.00 free s/h at that price you cannot go wrong. Only one thing you may need to order the free upgrage pin driver/hammer if you experience flush pining (non countersunk), it's a simple...

Depends on what you will be grinding or what hardness of steel.
Softer steels i.e. plane blades and chisels are soft steels which temper put at <400 degrees they would require friable soft wheels...

Thanks for all the input, although the suggested shaper cutters were out of my price range I was hoping for something along the line of Grizzly, MLSC or the such but I guess the big stuff is left to...

Anyone know where I may find one of these elusive 3/4" radius cove economy shaper cutters? I have looked exhaustively on the internet with no luck, I have found combination cove/bead or cove/ogee but...
