I do not pretend to be any type of scholar in this area, but I found a few references for "Firmer" from over a 100-120 years ago. The first two seem to suggest that the Firmer chisel is simply a...

Hello all. After googling around for a while, I have to pose my question to the experience at SMC.

Two years ago I bought a used 1981 14" Rockwell bandsaw that came with the original 1/2 HP Delta...

Congrats Augusto. Please keep us updated with your findings.

I have the LV fence also. Works well enough but is taller than it needs to be. If I am trying to square a thin rail that I have clamped in the face vise, I am often out of luck since the fence...

I have the same bench. The holes are 30mm IIRC. I am also looking for hold down solutions. Dictum of Germany offers an expensive "Insertion Clamp" that works with the Ulmia's 30mm holes,...

Lets keep this thread going... Post pictures or it isn't real... ;)

Just picked up a lightly used 1982 Rockwell BS (28-243) for $300 that came with 6 blades and a dozen heavy duty Jorgensen bar...

Fantastic gauge. Thanks!

Eagle Tools web site is admittedly lacking...always has been. I was just there today and spoke to Jesse about their second hand Inca Bandsaw inventory.
