Looking for thoughts and suggestions on this. I bought a Grizzly 1023 table saw in 1997. I recently bought a new tenoning jig from Grizzly. The guide bar has round plates on each end to fit into...
I had a ShopSmith and hated it. Even after I got power stands for the bandsaw, jointer, belt sander, and strip sander it just wasn't what I could work with comfortably. The table saw is a tilt...
I have a concrete driveway which was poured about 20 years ago using 2x4 divider/expansion joints. They are now due for replacement. I am considering so-called "outdoor wood" and Redwood, but I am...
They make special pads for the feet. Any real air compressor dealer will have them. I put them under my 60 gal tank 7 or 8 years ago and they really keep the compressor from walking around.
Stu, you are a very clever and talented man! Most of us complain that a 2 car garage isn't big enough for a shop, and you pack more stuff into the dungeon than one can imagine. BTW, you also turn...
The main function of a TS is to cut, usually rip, material straight with accuracy. To get those results, your saw must be properly aligned with no worn or defective parts that will alter the...
I'll bet a front handle could easily be added to the Grizzly. At least that's what I'm going to try when I get mine.
I have to confess, I can't sharpen anything! I've screwed up chainsaw chains, chisels, planes, and knives trying to get an edge. I have seen ads for a jig that might be the answer for a dull minded...
When I wired my shop for 220, I ran one circuit for the DC, one circuit for the air compressor, one circuit for an AC, and one circuit for machines. On the machine circuit, I installed 4 outlets so...
Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll try sanding the H&L pad down. I did try removing it, but it seem like it wanted to tear into the pad. Nothing to lose by trying since this pad won't hold at...
Well, I got the same answer on another board as well. I'm sure this is the problem as I use this sander for lots heavier work that just finishing. I see the answers are (1) lighten up on the...
My Makita 5010 ROS works great except that it goes through the H&L pads too fast. I've heard it is possible to convert to PSA, can anyone give me details on how to do this?
Yeah, I've noticed that things are easier to pickup if I'm not standing on them, too! I had to grin when I read you comment about the great paint job. Doesn't seem so long ago on another forum the...
I made mine from Kelly's plans using 1/2" Baltic Birch. I laminated 2 pieces together for the front and rear fences and made the blade guard from laminated Oak. The runners are made from Oak. It...
Well, here a vote for yet another make. I recently picked up a reconditioned Hitachi on eBay. It sure beats the old Craftsman I had used for years. I don't use a circular saw too often, but this...
Don't want to rain on your parade, but the shipping will kill you! That the big problem about finding machines at online auctions. You may get a decent price for the machine, but they are so darned...
I've not used the Freud blade, but it sure sounds like a great blade for box joints. As far as a dado blade though, get the Forrest Dado King and have the best blade for dados. Using a router bit...
I'm not flaming the cyclones, far from it, I think they are the DC of the future. But at the price they sell for now, a small shop owner might look at the alternative I suggested, isolate the DC out...
The dust collection topic usually triggers alot of debate, and with the fairly sudden increase in popularity of the cyclones, it sure isn't going to lessen the debates! Personal biases mostly based...
I would use brass to shim machine work like the jointer. You should be able to find it locally at an automotive supply store or a machine shop. You could order some on line, but it would cost $5-$6...
I have a fair amount of Grizzly machines, but none of those. You might contact Grizzly CS and find out if anyone in your area has these machines and have given the OK for folks to visit them and see...
I have the older 14-1/2" Grizzly 1019Z and I am quite pleased with it. I added a Rockler table and fence, plugged the original dust port and cut a hole on the opposite side for a 4" port, and it is...
I'd bet $$ it's the same as a Grizzly 1019Z. If so, it's a 5/8" bolt/nut, but I suspect the wrench size is metric. You can use an SAE 15/16" box end wrench, the fit is a tad sloppy, but it will...
It's not "Grizzly's Liftgate Service". It is the freight company's service. Where I live, the local deliveries are all made with a short box trailer with a liftgate and there is no extra charge for...
