    Thanks for the tip, I will try and watch out for it!

    The junk shop is easy to find, I think on the North side of the street right at the main Y intersection.

    There was a guy a while back that...

    There's a little shop in... uh... Multnomah Village I think (I don't know what it is called, just a little junk shop). Some guys that do woodworking I guess in the back but collect and sell junk in...

    Thanks for the help, everyone. I will check out OWWM. I thought that site mostly specialized in "old arn", and this isn't! :)

  5. How hard is it to replace bearings in a drill press?

    Hi everybody!

    I have a Craftsman benchtop drill press/drum sander unit I got used off of CL some time ago. I haven't used it a lot, but part of that reason is because it seems to have a lot of...

    Thanks for the reassurance everyone! I can't wait to get these guys fixed up and start using them. It'll save a lot of hassle and a few bucks if I don't have to replace the lever cap. :D

    Thanks, David. I don't think the chips are more than 1/16" out of the edge, 1/8" at worst (just going off memory). I don't think it is damaged bad enough other than to look ugly. I was a little...
  8. Lever cap damage – replace or repair, or don’t worry and just use it?

    I picked up a Keen Kutter KK8 recently, and though I haven’t torn it apart to rebuild it yet, seems to be in pretty fair shape with the exception that the tote was broken (and re-assembled with...

    If you're looking that cheap, just as well look at Harbor Freight. I've actually heard good things about some of their compressors, and it's likely from the same factory as well.

    Here's a perfect...

    Gene, I don't think a ZCI "shoe" is particularly necessary either, when the track is doing most of the work (and the DeWalt track saw doesn't have one of these at all). It's just a possibility, and...

    I've come up with a few ideas myself, including one with an aluminum track not much different than the "real" tracksaws. However, all of my ideas require minor modifications to the circular saw, and...

    Corrosion was a thought, but paint seems the more likely suspect. There is no corrosion on the whole saw, so it's hard to imagine the pins being corroded. The paint is pretty thick though, so that...
  14. Help! Upper part of bandsaw is STUCK, won't come apart!

    I've tried doing a bit of Google searching, but no luck so far.

    Recently I bought a US-made Delta 14" bandsaw off CraigsList. It's in very good condition, made a test cut with it and seemed to...

    Alan, the gas struts are a pretty neat idea, but wouldn't the hinge be more "elegant" due to its relative simplicity? Gas struts tend to wear out and leak (though probably after far more use that...
