    Thanks, any suggestions on where to get a sheave and bushing of this size?
  2. This is a great idea. Will try. Thank you.

    Thanks Jim! Good to know I'm not the only one. Impact wrench is an interesting idea. Will give that a try. You're absolutely correct that it's very difficult to tighten that bolt due to the fact...

    For the sake of clarity, here is the parts drawing. You see parts 98 and 97. They are missing from the drawing for the bottom pulley, but they are there. The bolt (part 98) is the bolt that keeps...

    So let me ask a dumb question. Again, this is not my area of expertise so be gentle.

    I was assuming the purpose of the key was to keep the pulley (or sheave?) from "slipping" when the motor shaft...

    I will have to unpack this question a bit and get back to you. Lots of words here I don't quite understand.

    Edit - Okay, now I see what you're saying. That might be a solution.

    Yes, there is a key. This particular pulley does not have hex screws to tighten the pulley to the key.

    How would pulley slippage cause the bolt to come loose? Honest question, this is not my...

    That's a huge decision that can easily become a regret depending on the work you're doing and your skill level, etc. If it were me, I would buy the jobsite saw and use it for a couple of projects...

    You will be really good at mortises and tenons when you're done!

    Saw this the other day and thought it would be a great option for mortises:

    Depends on what you're building. Some projects (e.g. outdoor furniture or simple gun cabinets) can have pretty loose tolerances and will go together just fine with some clamps and screws. Other...

    This is an area in which I have some experience. Traditionally, in the south, T&G porch floors were made with Cypress according to my research. Unfortunately, the cypress available today is nothing...

    I doubt many of the projects on display in the back of fine woodworking come straight off the planer, but I'm sure there are a lot Adirondack chairs that do.

    Hey Larry,

    I've worked a lot with Cypress and find it somewhat hit or miss. Modern Cypress is usually pretty young and has the same tendencies as fast grown white pine but a bit more brittle. I...

    Hard to add much to this post. Setup is key and you can get great results from stationary equipment if you set it up properly. I finally gave up on lunch box planers when mine slipped my clamps and...
