I am not an import fan but I must admit that it is hard to beat saw (for the money). I bought one a few years ago because I needed one then. It will be replaced with a big old arn saw soon.

Childs play! Here is how to restore a REALLY rust top.

What they said. Any UV protecting Varnish will work. A good grade marine varnish will probably last longer. Nothing last more than a year with constant exposure to the sun. Paddles and boats just...
What is the serial number on that saw? Should be on the angle indicator plate.
Very nice and very original looking saw. As other have said very sought after. 4 footers were only 1939 and I think a...
I got to ask. How does is cut wood? Does the warp cause a problem?? If not leave it along. If it is bad enough to be causing a problem your not going to fix it yourself. Unless your a machinist. If...
The first thing to consider is, is this a one time purchase? Are you going to consider other 3 phase machines? If yes, then you should look at a RPC (Rotary Phase Converter) as it can power all your...
If you have a Jet Lock fence and it just not locking properly, there is a rubber bushing in there that needs to be replaced. It costs just a dollar or two and it will work like new.
Not sure what you mean by flat threads, but the threads had a flat look to them. Nt sure if they are ACME threads or not? Regardless if they are bad, by all means replace it.

Global tooling. If they don't stock them, they will make them. Very happy with my dealings with them.
What is it worth to you?
There is a lot of iron in that planner and if you look at what it would cost today, if they would even make one like that today, and it's going to cost $2500 buck or...
I see you have all ready decided but let me just say that anything can be restored! Some may be more work than it's worth of course. But that DP is well worth the effort and is in fact a pretty...
Just take one of the belts to the auto parts and you get belts there. Thats where I get all mine.
Fence is a personal choice.
Blades can make a big difference. Depends on what your doing and what you need.
The rest is a wast of money. Urethane tires are near impossible to grind a crown in....
Cleaned some Brian's way before and it will work too.
Usually just use a ROS and depending on the rust start with anywhere from a 50 grit (yes 50) to a 120 grit. It will make small scratches for...
Now that is a LATHE!! Finally a machine on here I am envious of!!
95% of mine were made in American at least 50 years ago. ;)
Just cut down a set of jointer blades with a cut off wheel no problem. Did not overheat them either.
I agree Alan. I use a very none precision 4' aluminum ruler to set up my jointers and anything else that needs a straight edge. I also use a wood carpenters 4' level. Either one works just fine. It's...
Fairly new site but I like it. Friendly bunch [link to forum removed]
Basement shop and wouldn't have it any other way. Of course I dug down and have a drive in (garage door). 9' ceilings too. Insulation in the ceiling works to keep noise down. Planner (especially...
Use White Oak, not Red Oak. White has been used as ribs in boats for many many years. Red oak would be a bad choice. It rots way to fast.
Great idea, but afraid it's not a new idea. But it is as accurate as your dial caliper and how well you set it up. (how much tension or slack was in the blade when you started).
I will second Basil on that. I don't know the answer to this. If it has babbitt anywhere in there the detergent is bad on the bearings. I forget exactly but I think it is acidic and but I know will...
Just remember that new (value engineered) is not always a step up!

Admittedly a bit biased
If it is one of Bullet shaped motors jump on it. But your saying 20 years old makes me wonder if it is a capacitor start motor? The old bullet motors are Repulsion Induction motors and they have...
