its a Tradesman 8075 with 5/8 chuck jacobs RJ3-16L using 5/16 pilot hole I purchased in 1995. I bought everything I could find locally but all dont fit and use 1/4 pilot.

Any thoughts where...

I have a Tradesmen drill press and lost the chuck key.

Where can I buy a replacement? I tried the universal keys and others but they dont fit.

Would a Tradesmen chuck key be equivalent to a...

thank you. thats great. Ive not done the xylene test. Ill have to find that chemical and give it a try.

However, I have experimented by brushing some lacquer in a hidden area and it seems to...

thanks all. What about Deft brushing lacquer? Its not pre cat. I dont even know what precat lacquer is. Does it have some properties that would be better then brushing lacquer for a table top?

thanks. I lightly ragged on some lacquer thinner and the finished rubbed off and was dark brown on the rag. Also I could scrap off the finish coat with a finger nail so was very soft. I think it...

Its a table top. Im doing a spot repair then steel wool the entire top and spray another coat of clear finished over the entire top.

What test can I do to determine the type of finish it is? I...

Its a red oak table top with a 2" dia burn that looked to be charred to at least 1/8" depth.

How would you repair?

I was thinking to place an inlay diamond at the burn spot to cover and then...

Is there a source with a good selection of Inlays. Im looking for something about in the 3x3" size range to repair a burnt spot in table top.

thanks for any tips!

Ive looked at MLCS, Amana and Amazon. Any idea where I can find a 15/16" roundover carbide following bit, 1/2 shaft? Im replacing a leg in a chair and want to replicate the roundover it has....

Thanks. Thats all great advise.

What about a dryer? What would be appropriate for a home shop? With my 12 gal oilless when I paint, I remove moister from the tank and then I will put a...

I have a oilless 12 gal now. Its a bit low on capacity when I want to blow out the shop and is the most noisy machine in my shop.

Looking at getting a used vertical 50 gal, 220v, 5hp 120psi or in...

Semi solid could be a good choice. Its easy to reapply if needed. I have done my patio, outdoor stairs and even a gazebo roof with Behr semi solid and its going on 5 years and doesnt need a recoat...

ok. thanks. I dont have a subscription to that site so I can see the video but I like the idea of no finish on it.

Should I just leave it bare with no stain or finish? And let it weather naturally?

Any thoughts?

black is a fad or trend like beanie babies. It is also offense to see beautiful and natural wood obliterated like that. Sort of like a tatoo you reget getting and stuck with.

when using an oiled compressor, I understand oil can get in the air lines. When a compressor is general purpose use, to including spraying finishes, is there special precautions or apparatus needed...

thanks for the input. I suppose another option is to use flexible hose. If I place the unit in another spot outside it might only be 20ft of hose. But the tradeoff is I will have to have 220v...

Im considering getting a larger air compressor (maybe 60 gal with 5HP motor).
I would install it outside in a shed and pipe the air into the garage workshop.

Are there some DIY guides for this...

please dont do black. that is such and ugly finish and an insult to those who love wood

LOL. Sounds like my typical hobby.

i have similar problems when staining red oak with any oil based stain. Red oak has a 1000s of tiny straw like hollows that you can see when looking at the end grain. You can sometimes blow air in...

i used the Behr semi solid stain on a pressure treated deck....AND.....on a Gazebo roof made of cedar fencing. Its been about 5 years and no paint failures yet. Those surfaces, especially the roof...

isnt the purpose of sandpaper to make scratches?

I have a can of BLO for 36 years now. Used it a couple times over that span. and just used it to apply some natural color to a wood project. Seemed just fine.
