Thanks for the concern guys, no, no issues with the forum, nice place and helpful to all who post here. Just that my interests have changed, and woodworking is now a much smaller part of what I do,...
Thank you Keith, I understand.
Believing that a proper exit from a forum is to unsubscribe as opposed to just abandonment, I can't seem to find that option anywhere on this site. I've made requests to System Administrator, etc....
Funny thing about uncles there Joe. Mine were up in New Hampshire in the '50's and '60's, all built their own homes. I'd go with them to the local lumber yard and, like you, smelled the pitch and...
Joe, no umbrage taken, sometimes it's a good idea to pause and look back at where we've been to put things in context today. In between this thread's posts, I have ripped and resawn a hunk of...
You were doing something wrong then. DeWalt saws played a major role in the building of Leavittown, among other post WWII developments. The saws did it all from cutting to length, to cutting compound...
DeWalt made a spread of models that answered any need for woodworkers, they are cheap to acquire, and easy enough to restore. If your needs are modest and infrequent, a model 1200 or 1400 (my daily...
That is a personal preference, anywheres from 0.0" to .008", depends on what you deem acceptable- the real test is to make a shallow kerf in scrap, compare it to the blades' tooth width. Good work...
C'mon, give us more bandsaw information, the motor, whadda ya got? I see a mobile base, whats up with that? Issit 120 or 220?
If the inner faces look clean, examine the outer, working edges. They may be galled or have metal upsets that prevent them from seating properly. I'd simply stone inside and out surfaces ever so...
Google is still your best friend Cody:

Whatever you get, if it comes with a scriber stored in the head, use it as a map tack or olive stick, it's a useless appointment for precision markups. Rudy Kouhoup has a video showing how to do...
Got an image of that one George, someone may be able to suggest a workaround then?
I have one, and have used it with great success over the years on my RAS. First, like most any other tool, it is not “plug and play”, you need to do some detail work on it, specificlly stone the flat...
I find 'em at my local hardware store, usually in poly bags or the self- serv fastener drawers. Gun- Blu makes an easy to do "antique" look, others may have their own recipes for aging.
I consolidated my collection of storage media into a mobile station, it makes it very convenient when working on a project to just wheel up to it, sit down and cherry pick my hardware needs. Some...
I like the red zone Rick, gotta do that on mine, how wide is it?
Thanks.
I made a simple pickup horn for my DeWalt saw that converts from crosscut to rip cut pickup. Be advised that you need to allow a certain amount of air flow to carry away particulates, so my rip hose...
Funny, I just cut a coupla shapes like that this morning for my DIY- goodbye cable- antenna. I used a scrap square of ply as the base, screwed the work to it after orienting the desired angle to a...

I use a pair of terminal crimper pliers, most have thread cutters that can chop 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, 10-32 thread screws of mild steel. Most pulls and handles use either an 8-32 thread or they...
And that is the long and the short of it folks. FWW started doing what they called "revisits" as far back as the '90's; the well was running dry even then.
That question and many more are answered here.
The carriage bearings on a radial saw shouldn't need an external lube job. Here's a link showing how the bearings of a DeWalt are rejuvenated, I suspect the Craftsman will respond equally as well to...
Cody, radial arm saws operate with a different set of dynamics then table saws, but can perform equally as well and in some cases better when you understand them. The parameters can be broken out...
