Thanks Anne - I was considering going that route and now probably will

Believe my Delta drill press is around a 1943 Model. The push /pull switch w/ rod has been acting up. The switch is mounted on the side of the motor and the push/pull rod goes forward. I've found...

Thanks Doug
Today I'm trying to identify the type of wood used originally ? Would Oak be suitable? The slats are 3/8" thick, 1 3/4" wide and 17" long. I'll try to post a picture later. I have a...

Trying to replace some wood slats on the back and seat area on our Bistro Chairs. The originals have a slight but noticeable bow which make this a difficult job. I was wondering if anyone has...

My old Black & Decker Mouse sander finally died. I'm looking for a new mouse sander that would attach to a standard vacuum hose. Also notice there are 2 different pad vacuum hole configurations. Is...

I've lost the contact info for a company that deals in older/vintage shop replacement parts. My Delta drill press has a plate on the side that reads 43-7525. The upper spindle bearing seems to have...

Hello all
Returning member here. I've inherited a Ridgid Oscillating spindle sander, model EB4424. When powered up the spindle turns however there is a rattle ling sound and there's no up and down...

I use a 3" sanding drum often in my Delta drill press. I know the drill press doesn't have any radial run out - at least not visible. The 3" sanding drums currently available amount to a thick wall...

I guess my situation gets back to the old saying - "It's not what you'd like to have but it's what you've got to work with". You're correct about the numbers, I've studied the Penz site quite a bit....

Thanks for the kind words. I am a newbie in terms of the installation/design of D/C systems however I've studied the comments on this site for several years. The blast gate design came from an online...

I recently finished my 4"PVC overhead ducting system by adding some homemade blast gates. The ceiling height is 9' so I needed some way to actuate the gates w/o dragging the ladder out. It was a hoot...

I recently bought some short 1/2" pipe nipples for a small clamping project. All they had were galvanized so grabbed 'em and then discovered the clamps wouldn't fit over the galvanized, whodda thunk?...

I had a combination of fat & thin in the past, with my older Delta Contractors saw (1.5HP) and was given to believe the thin kerf blades took less HP since the material removed was smaller, rip...

Very nice - I enjoy working with kiln dried Doug Fir although it has a tendency to splinter easily - what glue are you using?

Nice job - always a treat to improve your tools from wood/scraps you weren't using - I'm inspired!

Hi Mike
I just went through the same issue - motor speeding up and down - drove me nuts, I was sure the motor was going south. I removed the belt guard and found the belt loose. The way they build...

Congrats on that "breakthu". You are the Lead Dog ! Regards dealers, Santa brought me a new, in the crate, Powermatic 66. There are still a few of these at dealerships. Mine came from Santa...

I would agree with most of the posts that it is not suitable for cabinet work. The 2 pcs I recently bought were bowed due to being hung over the storage racks they use. I fought that bow all thru my...

Hi Jason
The below link features the new Delta Unisaw. If you can scramble thru it you'll see how they mounted their fence support on the side table legs. This appeals to me, I'm going to try it on...

Great looking piece. Did you attach the table to the saw? I am moving up to a new Powermatic and will need an outfeed table similar to what you've done.
On my current out feed table I cut slots into...

That a great idea! I also have a vintage Delta band saw that I don't want to modify (ie drill holes into!) for dust collection. Louis Iturra says he thinks mine is a 1939 or so. Just don't want to...

I am sweating together some copper pipe and have found some silver solder in my collection of solder. What type of flux (if any) is required for this application?
Thanks

I've been told the additives in Automotive oils, often referred to as Detergent oils, cause the oil to foam. Not a problem when you're sucking oil from the bottom of the oil pan w/ a pump. Almost all...

I just found some interesting info at www.copper.org/applications/plumbing/techref/cth/tables. Yes we can say M is the least substantial of the 3 but take a look at the rated internal working...

Just for Copper is an adhesive that bonds Copper. Easy to use, sets quickly, no flame, etc. I was skeptical myself but used it in the past on a garage air system. It's been perfect for 5 yrs. Getting...
