Try checking on this website for a cross reference for a replacement head,

Or reach out to them with your model and they can recommend a replacement.
I used them to build a piano bench for my grandson. I had to mortise the hinge into the both the lid and the rail, but after doing so the lid closed completely against the opposite rail without...
Tom,
There is a fence for an 18" Jet Bandsaw listed in the classifieds section. I don't know if it will work for you but it might be worth checking out.

Cliff,
I wasn't thinking of using the wood impregnated plastic material because of the water absorbing properties. Gutters need to be water proof. :)
Dave,
How does Trimax compare to...
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone on the forum has done any work with PVC dimensional lumber or fiber glass reinforced plastic lumber? If so how hard is it to work with?
I am fooling around...
This was the setup that the Marc Adams Woodworking school had several years ago when I took a class there. I always said that if I had the space I would build a unit like this.

"I know some guys use a block and tackle to lift their lids off these units."
True. However dropping out the bottom barrel would be easier than disconnecting the hoses or trying to lift the lid...
Bill,
I have a Delta 50-181 two stage dust collector, the same as your 50-665 except that it is 2 hp instead. I have been planning to do the same as you are thinking.
However, as Bruce has...
Very pretty work Dave. I'm sure your daughter will love them. Nothing better than having a gift that was personally made.
Oh, and welcome!

Steve,
I believe that the "release the tension" thought came about because of the number of failures of the tracking arm that holds the upper wheel shaft on a 14" Delta bandsaw. This is the...
Ed,
While this is not exactly what you are looking for the current issue of Wood Magazine has a review of 6" jointers and they also discuss the spiral cutter heads.
They did praise the...
Rich,
I had a similiar problem with my DP-350 as well. This was a couple of years ago, but I contacted Delta and they sent me out the replacement parts no charge. When I compare the new pulley...
Thank you all for the kind words. It really does feel good to finish something that you've never before attempted and have it turn out well enough to earn praise from this distinguished group.

Actually, this has been a couple of years in the making. I built the lower cabinets and the upper cases and installed them a couple of years ago. But I had never finished the doors for the uppers,...
Question...
When building glass doors for a kitchen cabinet with true divided lights, would you use single strength glass or double strength? I can't imagine that double strength glass would be...
Bostitch's work just fine. I get mine at Menards.

Porter,
Yes, the Freud FT-1700 would make a very good table router. Freud designed it with that in mind. When you mount the fixed base to your table you are able to release the height lock,...
Tribby,
That deserves a big "you suck". I thought that I had scored a deal when I paid $79.00 for the display model. No case, no wrench, and no 1/4" collet. But for $79.00 I couldn't pass it...
Ken,
I have the same planer and love it. I'm only a hobby woodworker and this planer can handle anything I put through it. If you want to add a thickness gauge to your planer look into the...
The chuck should be threaded onto the motor shaft. Some may be left hand threaded. As was said, tighten a big allen wrench into the chuck and then try hitting it counter clockwise, when looking at...
I'm with Spencer here.
If you had been shipped only one box that contained only one clamp you would be complaining about the reseller and wanting the additional clamp.
Mistakes occur, I make...
Bob,
I have the same HF load extender and use it with my '98 Nissan Frontier. I have two by four braces built to raise the height above the wheel wells so that the sheets lay flat. One...
Ah, someone else who appreciates Crosby, Stills, and Nash!
Great looking chest as well! :)
Jim
Thanks guys!
Yes, I do believe that I compounded the problem first by using the Formby's and then putting on too thick a layer of stain. And not listening to my wife. What I am trying to stain...
