I just did a small kitchenette in my basement, and I followed Tom Silva’s placement guidelines. It looks great! The slight offset from true Center is not noticed at all, but rather it looks like it...

All,
I double checked my beds for flatness and coplanarity. I still think they are about as close to perfect as I can do.

i took the blades (knives?) out and took them to a sharpener. They did...

That is how I set the infeed table. Now my suspicion is that when I change the height of the infeed table, it goes out of coplanarity. I am going to get another set of feeler gauges so that I can...

Hello all. I have not posted in years, nor have I had a chance to use my shop in years. But recently I embarked on a new project and I needed to square up some stock. I am building using douglas...

Thanks to all. I will give Oneida a try, their adapter is cheap enough that if it does not work, I am not out too much.

Hello,
I appologize if this is been answered but the search function would not allow me to enter 5" or 4" and with a million replies I just gave up.:mad:

At any rate, I have a HF dust collector...

Thanks all. I will dial it in and make sawdust this weekend!

Bill

All you guys with DW735 planers and the extension tables, did you adjust them after installation or leave them as delivered? The way mine came, they both slope upward quite a bit and are not parallel...

David,
Looking at their web site, they list 5" hose in:

Black plastic
CVD heavy duty clear ($90 for 25 feet, $40 for 10')
Translucent Super Heavy Duty Polyurethane ($30, but only 5'...

Anyone have any experience with hose from PSI? Their prices seem pretty good, and the UPS shipping is very reasonable.

David,
Thanks for the info. I was not sure 6" hose would work for this dust collector, that it might be too big. Like you, it seems that I am unable to find 5" except on line and that is pricey.
...

For those of you with the HF dust collectors, what size hose are you using? I was hoping to build a Thein pre-separator and use 5" flexible hose, but am not finding 5" fittings or hose nearby. On...

I have one of the original Fein Sanders that was made before they came out with the multi-master. Does anyone know if I can purchase some of the additional blades and use them on my sander?
...

I have been waiting for the right time to buy a Grizzly G0453 planer. I found a used Shop Fox W1742 planer here locally for a fairly good price. It looks to be almost the same, but not quite.
...

Brian,
Thank you so much. This all jives now with what the electrical inspector said. I was pretty specific in asking him about requirements for hole to hole spacing, and he said there really was...

Brian,
I have heard there is a 2 inch spacing between holes. Can you confirm this is not in the IBC? I have only seen it in reference to local codes so can't be sure where it comes from. If you...

Thanks everyone. I think my next step will be just run the wire in these holes and call for my inspection. Worst case, I have to fix it, but best case is I'm done! If it turns out worst case, I...

The holes I drilled are 7/8", same as the existing holes. There is a little over 1 inch between holes.

How big a mess am I in?

OK, I did something pretty stupid. I was drilling holes in my garage (outside wall) for my new 240V circuits, but I drilled them too close to existing holes. My electrical inspector told me there is...

I got one of those kits for my G0490 (they gave it to me), but it does not appear to fit without enlarging the belt opening in the base. I am not about to take the jointer off the base, so have just...

Myk,
Any chance there is curvature on the jig that affects this number? Just curious since it seems like a big number.

Bill

Scott,
I highly recommend the One-Way Multi-Gauge. It is really setup for very quick accurate jointer adjustments. It makes the table height and blade height adjustments very quick. And, it is...

I did get a knife setting jig with my jointer but did not use it. The manual indicated that it, too, set the knife height to 0.062 which jives with the other information. I also found a manual for...

Chip,
That is good to hear. I kind of thought that would be the case, but thought I would ask just in case. I did not really want to go through the knife setting again since that was the most...

Mike,
When I set mine up, I did something like you with a dial indicator. I found that my outfeed table did not come parallel to the cutterhead, so that was my first adjustment. Next I had to get...
