I wonder if Powermatic is using something like this carbon coating;

I have the Harvey sliding table, and love it! I think Harvey makes the Sawstop version for them, but it's a watered down version of the Harvey. I installed mine on a Delta saw, so I had to drill some...

Hi Steve,
I have the same sander as you, and use 3-1/8" sandpaper from Klingspors;

Hi Julie, hope you're enjoying that nice tablesaw!
Just a couple of questions, if you don't mind. When you pull the sliding table all the way out to the front of the saw, is there any noticeable...

Congratulations on the saw, Julie!
I'm interested to see how you like the sliding table, as I may get the Harvey slider for my saw. It looks a lot like the Sawstop sliding table, but with a better...

It looks like you have enough vacuum to securely hold the workpiece, but I wouldn't rely on a sealed bearing to hold pressure (vacuum). The seal is there to keep dirt out of the bearing raceway, it...

I put the 1st generation igauging DRO on my drum sander, and love it!

John, I agree with your statement - "That's 2 - 3X what I typically sand with my Delta 18x36, which is a much more robust design".
I usually take .005 per pass. I mounted an igaging 6" digital...

Check everything out as Mike said, plus one more thing. Mount the base of a dial indicator to the outboard end of the table, with the indicator tip on the outboard end of the sanding head. Then grab...

I am a machinist with 32 years experience in the trade and have work in 4 different machine shops throughout my career. All of the shops I have worked in had at least one bandsaw in them, and never...

Thanks for all the great advice guys! Much appreciated.
To those who have used George's wax - does it show finger marks and water marks?

considered "food safe"? It produces beautiful results, but how safe is it on a bowl to be used for fruit or nuts, etc.?
Thanks.

The "General" brand has been made in Canada for probably 75 years. Several years ago (maybe 15??) they added the "General International" line, which is made overseas, and compares pricewise to the...

I also have the Jet 1642 EVS, and just checked mine for run-out with the following results;
-Oneway Stronghold chuck body has less than .0005 runout on both axial and radial.
-6" faceplate that...

I'm curious as well! Will these sanders do a good job of flattening the face of something that would be too wide for the jointer? Any snipe issues??
Ed.

Also..... run the drill on the low speed, and ease up on the pressure just as the drill starts to break through the other side. This prevents the drill from catching and pulling itself through last...

Glen - good point you make about a North American company not trying to hide where it's products are actually made.
General is indeed made in Canada, in Drummondville, Quebec; General International...

Robertson, hands down! Well, I would use a small brass slot screw to secure a bezel or a hinge if it's going to be exposed. Other than that, the only time I work with a slot or a philips is the time...

Well, I finally purchased a new tablesaw. After much research (on this forum and others), and after looking at several saws up close, I chose the Delta 36-717 “Hybrid” cabinet saw.
I wanted a saw...
