Post #9 above. Lower quill, insert wedge, tap, tap. Watch your toes!!

My MM20 has done this since new (2003). I have to adjust the belt about twice a year depending on how much I use the saw. Have replaced the belt 3 times. Of all the band saws I have owned and worked...

Convex side toward the sun has worked for me many times over the years. Laying the lumber on the grass will also help as it will introduce moisture evenly to the concave side.

I just restored an old Wilcox vise. For the handle I used a hardwood dowel and 2 golf balls. Cut the dowel to length. Then drilled the 2 golf balls about 1/3 of the way through and epoxied them on...

Thanks for the replies.

Martin,,,, I'm not all that concerned about the build up of water. I thought of installing a dump valve that exits the shop near where the line comes in. Once a week or...

I'm fitting out a new shop and was thinking it would be nice not to have the compressor in the new space. I have a shed about 80' away and thought about housing the compressor there. Wiring it would...

Did you check the belt length?

Also,,, what is the model number of the machine?

I own one of those. Mine is a bit newer but I don't think it's changed significantly.

Clarification.... You get the belt on and it's destroyed when you start the machine or you are destroying the...

Thanks for the reply Lee.

I spent some time with it last night and removed the wire. I thing you are correct in that there is no spring around the half nuts. When the socket part is rotated it...

Okay ,,, big deal a typo. Do you have any information about the VISE?

I guess I don't understand what that comment has to do with my inquiry?

I picked up this vise a couple years ago and just getting around to cleaning it up and getting ready to mount it. The front is marked "230" and "No 2". I've done some net searching and haven't come...

Marking (not actually starting) a cut is what I've always been taught it was the purpose of the nib.

I picked up a Ladybug 1509 that has a broken adjusting screw. I need the overall length of the knob and screw. Anyone have one in their collection and can do a quick measurement for me?

This would be my choice also.

Four holes.... Knife Grinder attachment

The top comes off with four bolts. Yes, you will need to realign the top but it's the best way to get in there to clean everything up and see what exactly is going on. I've taken mine off a couple...

I've owned a few of these over the years both Emmerts and Yost. The last time I had one mounted to a bench it was a terrific versatile vise. I sold that bench and haven't had a chance to build a new...

Emmerts pattern makers vise. People either love them or hate them.

I was pretty happy with the Emmerts and didn't realize the Ladybug was worth that much. These are just a couple standouts from the sale.

This was in an old dairy barn I had driven by for many...

Each of these were marked $10.00, I didn't quibble on the prices.

Yup same here. Back in '84 and I was using a push block. The whole thing kicked out and my palm went all the way to the stack. I still own a dado set but avoid using it like the plague.

That oem knife jig is junk.. don't bother.. Get a set of magnetic jigs.
