I have a friend who just bought a dura craft drill press. He needs a 16mm chuck key, must be an odd size. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

Hey Jim, yep that's the one. Thanks for the heads up on that. Speaking of the cool blocks, on the MM website there is a video demonstrating the MM16 and when he switches to a 1/4 inch blade for some...

I am looking at a pretty new MM20 for sale. It is a 2006 with very little use. The current owner has a cabinet shop and has been very upfront in emails telling me that he has had trouble with it...

Jim, the finish I am looking for is something that will preserve the color and prevent graying. The ready seal product is an oil based semi-transparent sealer and stain. There is a fence down from my...

Mine is already up and now I need to decide what to put on it to preserve the color. I like the Ready Seal products but man they are expensive. Has anyone used a finish on a cedar fence recently and...

I had the 4 speed for about 3 years and for the price (I paid 219 with coupons about 4 years ago), it was a great little saw. A bear to put together though. If you look hard enough on the internet...

I actually spent my honeymoon in Iquitos in 2003 and up the Amazon at a lodge. I always wanted to see the Amazon and loved the trip.

Hey Mike thanks for the advise. I am getting the sander used and it already has a 3 step pulley system on it, but I need the capability to slow it down to a crawl without losing any torque. It will...

Thanks Kyle, anyone have any sources for reasonably priced vfd's?

I have read post after post on the subject and am more confused than ever. I think I am electrically challenged. I need a variable speed set up on a Coote belt grinder and don't know what to get.
I...

Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil is great stuff and simple to use.

I have had a few CS issues with amazon this year, but every one has been resolved to my satisfaction. In fact, on a couple of items, they bent over backwards to give me what I wanted. I have garnered...

Wow, I'd like to be let loose in that place.

Hey, thanks for the great replies, this place is a wealth of information. I am a member at a lot of message boards and have never felt compelled to send in a contribution, BUT I value this site...

I have never been overly fond of the johnson bar for moving the saw, so when I found a good deal on an HTC base that looked like it would work on the saw, I bought it. My question is, how in the...

FYI, these instructions are for a band saw MILL, not a woodworker's bandsaw.

Well my house is about 20 years old, so I am sure that is part of the problem.

Rodney

Thanks for the answers, I think the lack of a hammer drill is my problem. Looks like a trip to HF.

Thanks again...........Rodney

I am having to use some tapcon concrete screws which take a 5/32 pilot hole. The masonry bit lasted for 2 holes and then nothing. Did I get it too hot maybe? I don't have a hammer drill, maybe that...

I would say you could get 1100-1300 on your saw.

David, It is just such a waste that they don't package it better. That is a very expensive, precision tool. Instead of being excited about mine coming in, I am actually kind of dreading opening up...

I have one of those and it cuts pretty darn well. I bet it is the trunions that are broken. If that is the case, you can order new ones from HF.

Rodney

David, that is unbelievable. This is the first time I have ever ordered anything that I am literally expecting it to be damaged. I am still waiting on my original shipment.

Rodney

Well, it took 5 days and numerous emails and phone calls, but amazon did come through. They even threw me a bone for my trouble. All in all, it was a lot of hassle, but every cs person I spoke with...
