So I just put my pm66 back together, new arbor, new motor, link belts, the works. I'm still getting saw marks in my cuts, I've tried 3 different blades, one was a woodworker 2, which I expect to get...

Ok, took it to the motor shop, they said the starter windings are cooked and the bearings are shot, they said it's cheaper 600 to just replace the motor. I paid 600 for the saw originally. What do I...

I picked up a PM 66 a few years back and it cuts ok, but when the motor shuts down the blade vibrates a little as the motor winds down. I replaced the arbor and while I had everything appart I...

I tightened the belts and that did help quite a bit, but yes, as the motor slows down there is a point at which it suddenly shakes a bit, with the belts tightened the shaking seems to be a lot less....

Where does one have an electric motor serviced?

What kind of cost is involved in replacing motor bearings, or is this like the type of thing that requires a motor replacement. I haven't checked the motor so I'm thinking that might be the issue....

So I picked up this old PM66, from the late 70's. The guy used it to make picture frames and he ran some pretty heavy tools on it, when I got it the blade would wobble. I replaced the bearings on the...

I actually just picked up some from my Menards and the quality isn't what it use to be. Tons of voids and it delaminated while I was working with it. It was on sale at my menards too. Won't be buying...

Guys I got my baltic birch from the Hardwood Connection, it was very nice stuff, but a bit pricy for me. I might give my local menards a try. Owl was the same price as the Hardwood Connection as I...

I've been working on designing a new mitersaw bench and after finishing a router table in which I used Baltic Birch Plywood which cost me quite a bit I think over 70 bucks a 5x5 sheet. Is there a...

Hey guys, I have an incra TSIII on my 10 inch jet contractor saw with the router table, the router table keeps sagging over time, I know its because the router lift is really heavy and the T-slot is...

Not to crash your post or anything, but did you guys notice Norm struggling with that paint brush? His hands aren't as steady as they use to be.

I really liked the piece, its not my style, but I...

Hey guys, I have a milwaukee drill with a 3/8 24 chuck that is all boogered up. I want to replace the chuck, but the allen head screw thats inside the chuck seems to be stripped, any advice?

Amazing by the way... simply amazing.

Did you guys take down an old barn on the property?

How do you clean them out?

Chuck

no not exactly, but thats a good design.

A while back I saw a shop made adjustable foot for a workbench or assembly table in one of the mags that I read. It was made using a large eye hook and a block of wood with two dados cut in it....

Sorry about that Keith, I thought it was somewhere north, but I guess I was wrong. Well, guess I'll have to wait for that one to come around on reruns again and watch it more closely. Did you happen...

Norm built a table a while back out of oak that came out of a damn up north somewhere... It was called the ugliest piece he ever built by someone on one of the forums, but I thought it was pretty...

I hadn't considered taking down that partition wall, but that does seem completely possible, there is no power or anything running through that wall, it would take me about 10 minutes with my...

ok, I guess I should show you guys some photos of my shop to go with the layout. Here they are.

Shot #1 is looking from the south west corner behind the table saw....

So I have this darn pole in the center of my shop. Its a column under the main beam of the house, so moving it is kind of a big deal. I am looking into what it will take to move it, but it will...

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update, I am doing about a zillion times better. I saw both my doctors and changed up some meds, but for the most part everything was normal (blood tests all came...

Dido on the Knight, lets see a close up! Those are the coolest chess sets ever!

Hey guys, My boss wants to do some custom cabinetry work around our office, whats the best way to go about finding a local cabinet shop? I would imagine the yellow pages would be a good place to...

Thanks for all the great advice. I checked out Amazon too for reviews and the DW had some negative reviews, some posative ones as well, but when you're talking about a 200 dollar investment you gotta...
