Too late to help but- - The PM planer appears to have side access panels which should work to remove the motor. I have a Shop Fox which is similar that I replaced the motor on when it was new and it...
the gas spring went out on. I've tried calling GI in Canada several times over a period of weeks, no answer. The U.S. distriber's number is disconnected so I assume even GI parts are not to be had. I...
I'd give W. Moore Profiles a call, they're about the best company I've ever dealt with. I've bought a couple of corrugated heads and several knives from them and always been happy. Ask for Stephen,...
I live about 200 miles south of Houston and within less than a mile of saltwater. We have humidity at least as high as Houston plus the corrosive effects of salt air.
i think you will find that...
The Euro guides on my MM16 gave up the ghost a while back and when I checked w/MM I was given a price of $50 for each bearing for a total of $300 and I didn't like them that much. I looked around I...
I crowned the top tire on a Walker Turner by having a friend chuck it in a large lathe at his machine shop and using fine sandpaper. Not as elegant as your solution but it worked.
When I first saw the Mirka Deros I thought it was a nice sander but only an idiot would pay $600 for
one. Color me an idiot, I needed a new sander and bit the bullet.
It arrived and I put to...
I have a MM16 and at times I've been pretty critical of several things but not the saw directly. My criticism is probably why Eric Loza is here but he's among the better things that have happened on...
I live in Corpus Christi and we used to have a lot of it but some years ago a freeze killed most of it. There are still some trees around but not many. I find some once in a while but give it to my...
I' ve found that green Texas Ebony cuts easier than when it's dry. Dry, it's so hard it sometimes sparks. It's a difficult and nasty wood with beauty being it's only redeeming feature.
The...
A friend and I have 20" Shop Fox planers. His has the Grizzly and I put a Byrd in mine. We took a Mesquite board and planed one side on each machine. There was no difference.
Sometimes we deal with a businiess that is so good it would be a shame not to tell others. For years, whenever I've needed a custom shaper knife I've called Steven at Moore Profiles and he's always...
I have a Grizz that appears to be very much like that one and for 'way less money even with shipping. I like mine a lot, I don't like VS presses and the only complaint I have is that I wish the...
You might consider buying a bearing separator and using a gear puller if you don't have a press. They're cheap from HF.
I hope this will help anyone who is considering installing the Laguna guides on a MM16. The euro guides that came with the saw were working OK except that after a bad experience with Texas Ebony the...
I would not let the 1 HP part of it bother me. I have a 3HP Uni and used one with a 1HP bullet for several years. I couldn't discern any functional difference in power.
I have a 1/2hp Co Matic four wheel and power wise I don't see any functional difference in it and the 1hp feeders I have used. It has never hesitated and I like the fourth wheel.
For some reason...
+1 on the corrugated head. Contact Stephen at W. Moore profiles. He/they are as good to deal with as anyone I've ever dealt with in any area and they truly know their business. For common profiles...
I have a corrugated head that I got from W. Moore Profiles that has a one inch bore. Another plus is that
they are some of the best people I have had the pleasure of dealing with.
I've posted this before but it never got much traction.
I live in one of the most corrosive areas of the country on the South Texas gulf coast. Only the folks in southern to central Florida are...
You will likely need to notch the guard. I used 41/2 inch cutting wheel and it only takes a few minutes. It's a known problem and one MM doesn't seem to be interested in correcting along with the...
I've needed a few custom profiles and the best I have found are at WMoore Profiles 800.228.8151. Ask to speak to Stephen, he is first rate to work with.
You will have two choices, a custom three...
If you're asking me if you can have the one that died on me, you don't want it. Just before I unplugged it the plastic over the motor was melting and it was emitting serious smoke.
I had a Fein Turbo that died before it should have.
