There's a full 3/32" of clearance.
I have a Delta 17-965 drill press and the table clamp on the column stopped doing it's job - the lever gets tight like it always does but the table rotates about the column with some resistance and...
How wide is the lumber? An inch or two isn't going to move enough to matter and I'd mate the lumber and plywood with a shiplap joint (it's self-aligning and there's a lot of glue surface).
Link belts are clean and do wonders absorbing the vibration from cheap motors (my first Delta motor was so bad wood walked off the table, and the warranty replacement was just a hair better) and...
Whiteside makes 1/4" solid carbide bits with 1/2" shanks. Might be nice for template work where you want the extra bit length.
What can I fill zebra wood gum pockets with the finish most likely shellac?
My glue-ups will end up as irregularly shaped pieces 46" long and up to 16" wide, so working around them is not a...
Incorrect.
1) The fence can be quite far back if you're cutting dadoes, grooves, etc.
2) The fence can be removed completely for bearing or bushing guided template/pattern work.
I have a left tilt saw, Incra Miter Express sled on the right side, and have used it for bevel cuts. Works fine.
Forget the Delta 17-965. I couldn't leave wood on the table (it would walk off from vibration) until I installed link belts and even then its not smooth. There are other lesser fit and finish...
I'd like to route PETG plastic, thickness somewhere around 1/8".
O flute, single edge spiral, and double edge spiral seem to be the recommended bits.
I have a 1/2" bottom bearing solid carbide...
System 3 T-88.
Epoxies will glue many but not all plastics. Exceptions include Teflon (PTFE), polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, mylar, PVC, acrylic (plexiglass) and polycarbonate (lexan).

I bought a Bosch 4000 so I could cut MDF outside and things with more wood + less glue inside.
Yes.
For long or wide pieces.
Yes.
No.
- Finer initial hone
- Thicker carbide. This seems to correlate to less chipout and allows for more sharpenings.
- Smaller carbide particles. This leads to longer life.
- Freud and Amana bits...
Generic double sided carpet tape from a big box store works great.
I'll enter to win.
It's supposed to work like that so you can drill long objects. You want to be able to rotate the table about its roll axis to make it parallel to the column, rotate table around the column, and...
In this case, I got splintering on the top surface. Baltic birch is known for doing that, and it could be that my blade is getting dull or started out life sub-optimally- I'll get a new one for the...
My second project defect is the side of one piece where I got some splintering (I've since learned that a little dampness eliminates that) and jointed it for fit with a rabetting bit (easier to trim...
One side of my current project has picked up dirty lines perpendicular to the grain. They might be from a garage floor. They might have been in the wood. I don't know.
Before I start applying...
The instruction manual which came with my Delta (17-965) said I should bolt it to the floor or a piece of plywood with specified dimensions. I did the later, and dropped it in one of the mobile...
Face veneers as thin as .010" which are nearly unsandable and get damaged if you look at them sideways versus .050" on real 13 ply 18mm Baltic birch, way more likely to warp, worse glue if you're...
No. I'm going to buy an old one for under $1000 (not even $500 if I get lucky on timing) off craigslist that will work just as well for me as it did for its previous owners and stick the difference...
Unless you want to use a guide busing in the router table.
Wood (at least baltic birch and birch endgrain) slurps up epoxy squeeze out which would lead to finishing problems if I was staining.
Should I use a sanding sealer (dewaxed shellac - Zinsser...
