    Need a Cast Iron Repair

    If for the same motor by frame number, it should be a direct replacement. Try it out before going to the trouble of painting it. Charley

    Need a Cast Iron Repair

    Brazing or Silver Soldering are going to burn up that great paint job. For just a tab that holds the small cover in place I would use JB Weld, assuming that you have the broken piece to attach. Let it harden well, then drill and tap the hole for the screw to hold the cover in place. At least it...

    Glue drip catcher

    I've bought it by the roll from Food Lion. Look for it where the Aluminum Foil is located. They also have Waxed Paper, as it still has uses. Charley

    Source for 1/4" thick Hardboard

    Home Depot sells it in 2' X 4' sheets. I buy it to make the inserts for my Incra I-Box jig. In the store near me it is located back further in the aisle from the pine 1 by -- stock. You will find an assortment of different thicknesses of plywood as well as hardboard. I think they make these from...

    Table Saw Maintenance

    If the wax is buffed out after applying, it makes the wood glide over the table and fences easily, and I've never had a problem with it affecting finish on the surface of my projects. I re-wax my tool surfaces about monthly for rust prevention, but if heavier use begins to make pushing/feeding...

    Table Saw Maintenance

    Don't just use the paste wax on the saw table tops. It works very good when applied to the gears and ways under the table using an old tooth brush as the applicator. Apply it thick and just leave it to do it's thing. The wax surface dries and keeps saw dust from sticking to it, and it stays...

    Table Saw Maintenance

    Most any wax will help your wood move across the table easy and reduce the rusting problem. What you need to avoid is any wax containing SILICONE. I have banned everything containing silicone from my shop for the past 50+ years because once it gets on your wood it is invisible, until you try to...

    What are you making?

    Berta, you and the rest of the members here are free to make copies and prints of these for yourselves and families, if you don't sell them. A good photo printer will do a fine job of printing any of these up to at least 8 X 10" in size. They are all straight from the camera, not retouched or...

    Delta unisaw table saw 220v (not mine, not endorsing etc.) found on FB

    I agree with the switch problem. It needs to be a 2 pole switch for 220-240 VAC and needs to be heavier duty if the motor is set for 120 VAC. No plug visible, so no way to tell what voltage it is set for, but most likely it is at least single phase. The rail indicates it had an original Jet...

    Wanted ISO Dust hood/fabricator

    Just a possible suggestion to consider - I've seen where some users with the smaller 12" planers modified sheet metal register boots to use for dust collection adapters. They make these for floor registers in many widths and lengths and with 4, 5, and 6" round pipe connections as well as...

    What are you making?

    I haven't been in my woodshop doing much of any woodworking in the past few years, as I've been taking care of my invalid wife and handicapped son and need to stay in the house to be available to them when I'm needed. But my photo studio that I built 5 years ago is in my house, so when I get...

    Threaded insert remover

    I have always used just a bolt with matching threads, and a nut tightened very tightly against the insert. In wood and if no glue was used to install the insert, I have never had on that I couldn't remove. I use a bolt with two nuts locked together, and the insert on the last few threads when...

    DeWalt GE bearings

    Unfortunately, the only way that I know of, especially with old motors, is to remove the existing bearings, clean them, and then look for the etched numbers on them. Using these numbers, a search on Amazon, or a trip to a local industrial supplier or bearing store will get the perfect...

    Self-closing glue bottle?

    I never buy glue in large containers, because it goes bad over Winter, now that I don't frequent the shop as often as I used to. as I no longer heat the shop all Winter. I now buy the amount that I will expect to use before the next Winter, and then just replace them in the Spring. Glu Bot...

    Hey Everyone!

    I have a magnetic wrist band that holds my bits, screws, etc. when working from a ladder or other place where I might loose them. It's been one of my best investments for keeping me from losing bits. Welcome to our sawdust pile. I think you will like it here. Charley

    KBS Diamond coat on cast iron surfaces?

    I have restored several gas tanks with heavy internal rust using their gas tank restoration kits. My experience tells me that their products are top notch, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy any of their products. Amazon carries many of them, so buying from Amazon also gets delivery to your door...

    Cabinet saw mobile base

    The frame of the HTC base is made mostly from 1 X 2" square steel tubing, a common size that is easy to find. Butt joints in welding, if done correctly, are just as strong or stronger than the material being joined. After grinding smooth and painting, the added pieces became one with the HTC...

    Cabinet saw mobile base

    Do you know a good welder? I'm not certain if they still have any, but when I wanted a good base for my Unisaw and 54" side table, HTC had a bunch of wheeled bases that they were clearing out. I bought one that was roughly shaped for my saw and table, but not quite the correct dimensions. I...
