Thank you, all. I'm going to start with the control box and go from there.

Thanks again,

Philip

Happy New Year to all

My 1999 unisaw has been shutting down on it's own for the past several weeks after running for about 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with startup, and the shutdown...

Those were awesome shows in Fort Washington. I started going in 1998, went each year, usually spent the weekend there and took lots of hands-on classes. Almost as much learning in the bar after...

What about hot hide glue? once it sets (fast) it doesn't need clamping, and setup with an old crockpot is cheap ($1.00 at a Salvation Army store). ? Never actually did this, but would be...

Wood is more forgiving on dropped tools, footwear isn't as important with a wood floor because it's inherently a more comfortable surface to stand upon for long lengths of time, sweeping up dust and...

thanks, already went 24v :) Oddly enough, I know how to wire up a 440v 3ph Jacquard loom but not a simple 220v motor. Used to work with my grandfather in the "Silk Capital Of The World", Paterson...

THAT's the part I was missing. Thank you.

Thanks for that explanation John, it just cleared something up for me. I actually dislike the remote and would instead like to control the DC by opening a blastgate (I'm good at turning on the DC,...

As I understand it the momentary power is what changes the state of the contactor, i.e. causes the magnetic switch to complete or break the circuit. The magnetic switch will break the circuit if it...

John, my very first line gives credit to Oneida. It also points to a post I felt was somewhat inaccurate, which is why the post begins with "Yes Ryan........." The balance of the post was in...

yes Ryan, you've got it right - the bad publicity pushed them to take some sort of action, which is half admirable. But let's not lose sight of the fact though that there are threads going back...

Titebond III for anything that might touch water, liquid hide that I make for everything else. I like the reversibility, not so it can be repaired in the future but so I can fix my screw-ups in the...

I rented a landscapers trailer to hitch to my Dodge Dakota to get a Hammer A3-31 home, and then went back to the rental place to rent a pallet jack to get it into the shop. Even with the cost of the...

I too am ever the optimist. But I am rather amazed at the number of folks who just accepted this and sent more money to purchase the same inferior-quality remote which may or may not last as long as...

I'm aware of the 1-year thing on industrial electronics. The difference here is that Oneida is a small company that to some degree or another derives its business from word-of-mouth, and can make...

It doesn't matter how many, the point is that this is a piece that has no moving parts and should be lasting substantially longer, so Oneida should stand behind it and offer a replacement. Sure,...

I guess I'm the only one who feels a little cheated and therefore loathe to give more money to Oneida? I (and all of you) paid a premium price for a [mostly] premium piece of equipment only to have...

Have you put finish on both pieces to see if there's a difference? I'm in the process of doing bookcases to line a whole wall, the color of some of the wood is startlingly different, but when finish...

Lacquer thinner will dissolve shellac faster than alcohol. I too have some shellac to remove, this was suggested to me, and it works nicely. To make it faster and more efficient, I put a couple of...

Thanks, Peter. I really wanted 8x8 posts, so the compromise at 6x6 is as small as I'm willing to go. I had thought of wrapping the posts in Azek - what do you suppose is going to happen with the...

Thanks everyone for your input. Seems like PT is the way to go (without spending a fortune). If I can somehow prevent the existing fence from falling over, would drying the posts in the garage over...

David, think the gophers'll mind if I don't square it up? :) I was just going to plane the surfaces that will be seen, and even then only if they don't have a nice smooth surface. I don't believe...

Thanks, Mel. I'm thinking an afternoon with a couple of sawhorses, a #4 1/2 and a #7, and a freshly-charged Ipod would be nice and more healthy - I doubt I'd inhale a shaving of pressure-treated as...

Funny, I just posted about using pressure-treated.

I purchased a fence from Walpole Woodworkers in Massachusetts about 12 years ago. They were very very expensive, and when I questioned why, was...

I've been struggling with a material choice to re-build a cedar fence I have. The existing was made of white cedar, solid-stained, periodically washed and re-stained, etc., but it has rotted at...
