I bought this exact vending machine dolly off CL for $125. 1,200 lb capacity, kick out support wheels. Great dolly

I have a 46 where the handle is loose. That's a rivet and not a pin? I only see from one side so thought I had to drill the other and knock out. That might not work with a rivet.

I'd like to put the motor/blower on top of the cyclone but don't want to add the height of an adapter. Any problem putting the blower's intake centered into the top of the cyclone with a gasket?...

Not sure your area, but poke around for an older Craftsman table saw. Might be able to get pretty cheap.

As far as new tools, don't buy junk. Won't like and they don't hold any value. Something...

Scale of work matters too. I'd like a mill, but the metal lathe gets used for odd repair tasks too. Making a tube the right size to push bearings on a shaft, just pushing the inner race. Boring...

I used a festool and bought the regular Freud blade. On the table saw I used one of the Bosch solid surface blades, but then was cutting thicker stock.

Either way seemed to cut easily with the...

Did you look on OWWM? Are the bearings babbitt?

Ordered the 14" bad axe x-cut black Friday, so that's my vote.

Hank,
Is that a fan pointing at the RAS in the ripping pic?

Rich

Ball or babbit?

For small machines like the Atlas better off on home shop machinist forum.

The atlas is ok for what it is. I brought home one of the last model 12" atlas but decided to stick with a 9" south bend...

If it's a Biesmeyer fence isn't the front rail a standard steel size? Thought the rear was a standard angle as well. Be better to get shorter pieces than cut if you can.

I moved a 24" Centauro on it's spine, as well as a 16" DoAll and 20" Delta. Not as sure about I'd move in the mini-van though. Have a hitch on the tahoe? Two of use pushed the Centauro up a trailer...

I've like the made in US bits from Enco. They have sales and free shipping offers pretty frequently.

Assuming normal straight knives with gib screws, installing the blades could be an all day project.

Took me long enough to do a three knife 8" jointer!

Rich

Looks a lot like a 12" sidney I recently got. Like mine, looks like the original cutterhead was replaced with a newer head in pillow blocks

Rich

I wonder if I'll get a RPC big enough to run the 14", 5HP Dewalt RAS I have sitting in the garage before this thread ends?

Rich

What stage is it when you sit reading "patternmaking in wood" so you can get a casting made to fix a hundred year old jointer?

Rich

Never had any luck filing to adjust. Think I'd pull the shaft and check it on the lathe and see all the places it's out. Might be able to bend it back too.

If you file too much you'll have a...

If you don't go with an above the saw like the the Brett or Excalibur, shark guard lists Walker Turner in their list:

I've taken a lot of machines apart that had wheels or shafts held on with tapered pins (and had to get a set of the starrett punches to knock them out).

Is one side of the pin larger? Considering...

Have a PC 690 on it since I had a couple of motors and bases. Don't think you need any more power than that, but any router with smoother plunge action would be better.

Thought about the woodrat...

Think the impact driver makes it possible to stay with a smaller drill/driver combo. I got the Makika set with light (and I love the light) on black friday two years ago. Don't really see a need for...

Who'd want to fix an old TV today when the LCD's are getting so cheap? I've got an old 31" Sony sitting in the corner for two years since I haven't gotten anyone to help me move it.

Picked up a...

I didn't like the Mehler table saw DVD myself.

What about the new FWW archive DVD? I'm not sure it's really complete, but there's a lot in the old FWW magazines.
