I've got a widebelt sander acting up. It's a 1997 SCM Uno CS single head. The control button/indicator light was unhooked and I'm hoping someone has a similar machine and might be willing to take a...

I've got the makita and love it. I use mine 100% for manufactured wood products (plywood, mdf ect) and in that environment can't see the need for a riving knive. As I understand riving knives, they...
Al, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I don't think it would be tough to machine a new bar for an Incra head to mount on, but that'd be a lot of money for something that would spend the vast...
I have two crescent jointers in the shop an 8 and a 16. The 8 gets used everytime I'm out there. The 16" only gets used when I get that trailer load of rough sawn lumber and I face everything...
That ol piece isn't worth anything, I'd gladly haul it off for you. Those Oliver lathes are pretty widely reputed to be some of the best reeves drive lathes out there. The only thing I'd ad to...
Al, thanks a million, so the opening at the "top" of the t-slot is only .60 wide? I haven't put a mic on mine yet, but a 3/4" miter bar has plenty of slop in mine. Guess I'll have to keep digging...
I'm looking for some physical dimensions for the crosscut fence, specifically, the dimensions of the T-Slot bar in the aluminum sliding table. Looking to put this on a different slider and of...
KC woodshow was fun. Not much time in the shop, but I got some great ideas. Spent a couple hours last night puttering around and tuning/cleaning some tools. I replaced the velcro on my woodmaster...
American Royal was a major upgrade over OPCC. I thought it was a great show too. I think vendors sense that the economy will be picking up a bit. It was nice to see some new folks there as well as...
I'll just say that the show is less of a show and more like a sidewalk sale. Even quite a few of the vendors are no longer providing the demonstrations they did a few years back. My first time was...
With dust collectors, everything needs to be scaled according to volume of air moved. On the Thein baffle, the collecting drum must permit the stream of air to slow down to a point that the dust is...
I'm probably between 1500-2000 per year, but I'm always "flipping" things to pay for my hobby so very little of that amount actually comes from my wages ($500 or less per year). My dad also has a...
It's awful bendy (bulges/dips between studs) and won't give you anything to screw into if you ever wanted to mount something on the walls. And that's before addressing any building code issues. I...
Dick, they still do. Just get out your checkbook.

Excellent job on the restoration. I'm in the middle of a DeWalt GK right now. Hope it turns out...
I am looking forward to a hands on review. I read everything on the internet a couple years ago when I bought my Makita tracksaw. I've been extremely pleased with that and very carefully weighed...
Tools that are ready to go out of the box are certainly availabe. You buy a $14,620 Northfiel No. 4 and you can bet your @$$ that it will come from the factory ready to go with no need for...
Velocite oils are available from McMaster and Enco. I use Velocite 10 in mine, but for a while I did use 30wt. I have the Crescent 16" and a Crescent light 8". Great jointers.

A priceless gesture to be sure, but that box is "worth" more than the ring. 200hrs of cad time plus 36 hours machining... whew.
Not that I make money (or much of anything else) in my shop, but when I was working construction my boss always said "a clean jobsite is a happy jobsite." We kept things cleaned up and I can say...
The one real advantage that I see with the Ridgid is the oscillating belt option. I HATE using my spindle sander for convex curves, you can never get is fair with no divots. A belt sander with...
Magnate will make special order router bits based on a drawing or sample. Shaper or moulder knives can also be custom ground at a very reasonable price. If I were doing this, I'd have a moulding...
I have, and had a great experience but can't remember who exactly it was (its been years). There are lots of suppliers out there with varying reputations. My advise would be to google for one...
I thought it was great. Not too much legit woodworking in pop-culture. Even if the show didn't feature some of the finer details of the craft, it did feature some notable personalities, suppliers...
I've used both oil and water based poly on floors and will say this. On really white wood floors like maple and hickory prepare for a lot of amber from an oil based finish. That said, I wouldn't...
There was a long thread on this about a year ago. I've done it. My setup was to plane and gang-rip on a woodmaster then tounge and groove on a 1.5 HP shaper with powerfeed running Amana SC450...
