I think a lot of the problem is just plain cheap materials used by the tools companies.
The Dewalt random orbital power cord started falling apart 6 months after I bought it. Same with the...

We used one like it back when I worked at the power company. We used it and a large tumbler to clean up large electric breaker parts. They would clean up real nice. We used a ceramic bead and some...

I just make what I need on the band saw using whatever is laying around. Faster than running to the store.

I used something like this in a spray can for my lawn mower deck. I got it from Lowes in the lawnmower area. Worked great under the deck for keeping the grass from building up. I thought at the time...

As the title says I am building an old customer a hatch for his sailboat. I was planning on using marine grade plywood until I found out nobody in Charlotte has any or could get any. So I decided...

Table does look smaller to me also. I love my LS1013. I sold a 12" Dewalt compound to buy this one and have never looked back. The accuracy is dead on to me but I mostly do cabinet type work with...

I bought the Rigid MS-UV also about 5 -6 years ago. I love it myself. As far as repeatability mine has no stops for that but as far as mobility it is great.
I can set it up stationary in my shop or...

I am a true blue Ford Guy but DANG!. I know this is a family site so I am trying to watch my speech. Nice!

I have a North State 15" with the motor on top. I bought it from a dealer and it is a Delta Knock off. It was sitting beside a delta top motor and the 2 were identical except brand of motor. Same...

Where are you located? Maybe a member that lives close to you has a planer and would be happy to help you?

I also have the Akeda 16 and love it. I had a couple of the cheepo units before and could never get them to work. The first time I got the Akeda out of the box I had my 1st near perfect set of...

Been a long time since I have posted here but I had the same problem on the same saw several years ago before I got the left tilt Grizzly I now use.
Mine was a simple magnetic switch that had filled...

I bought the PC in a kit sith several different bases. I also bought an extra trimmer by itself so I could keep two going at once on larger lamenate jobs. I really like the PC's. Easy to adjust the...

1023sl here also and an very satisfies with it. I upgraded from a Jet cotractors saw so I did'nt jump right from a table top to a Grizzly.
I could do anything I needed on the Jet but wanted less...

Corded for sure but maybe it would be a good opportunity to invest in a tabletop pocket holer. I have the Porter Cable and the model escapes me right now but it would make short work out of it. I can...

I agree. I have the Dewalt 14.4 with the 3 speed gearbox. Man what a drill. I tried porter-cable drills and they were'nt even close.

I think mine is a 250 also. It was about $80 at the borg. Very good buy I think. It seemed everytime I started to drill any metal I was looking for a bit that would cut. No more. If it does'nt cut I...

Mine is the Jet Blue model, closed base. I like mine fine but I am just now getting into resawing some stuff. It was used moslty for curvy stuff until now. I am looking at getting a riser block for...

If I were moving it myself that's how I'd do it. Consider this though, I have a bad back with 2 ruptured discs and a surgury that did'nt help.
My mom and dad just hired some guys to move then into...

How did you get into my shop to take a picture of my Jointer? The funny thing is my father gave me mine also after he lost the tip of his finger on it. No Kidding!
It's a Craftsman but of an old...

Mines a Grizzly 1023sl with a Biesimeyer 52" Fence. I love it.

Very nice Gary! I'll bet the girls will hand them down to their children.

I know you're all set but in case it does'nt work out stop at a small engine repair shop and look at an older merry tiller. They have a pretty good size pulley on the side plus it's a v-belt

Thanks for the help Bob. Great articles. I cleaned, sharpened and burred the blade today. Now that's more like it! This thing really does the trick! I tried it on some really wild Maple and it's...

Sorry, yes it's an 85. I see a dot between the 8 and 5 so I always think of it as an 8.5. The blood and gore site says it's an 85 so that's what it is.
The site on sharpening them is what I needed...
