    Questions about drum sander feed angle.

    I'm going to be picking up a drum sander from frazierk's classified ad this week (performax 16 32) and have been reading up on them. It seems that other than material removal speed the drawback is that the sander leaves lines on the workpiece that need to be cleaned up. I've read that you can...

    Things to look for with used refrigerated dryer

    I've got a line on a used Great Lakes GRF-40a-116 refrigerated air dryer capable of up to 40 scfm to work with my compressor (16 CFM @ 90, 14.1 @ 140 psi) This particular unit uses R134A as the refrigerant, which is attractive to me. Are there any testing procedures or things I should look for...

    Brain Game: Spot the difference in two pictures

    This is a piece of wood I bought for $0.25 at Habitat for Humanity a few months ago. I don't see much difference between it and the other picture..... the only thing is the crack extending from the occipital lobe through the boundary between the parietal and temporal lobes... Edit: for...

    DQ qualified but Klingspor doesn't know it :(

    Every time I go to Klingspor, I don't show up as being DQ qualified. They take me for my word that I am and I could always just pull up my profile on my phone to show them, but I didn't know if this would be affecting others as well. (On a side note - I feel bad for even filing a...

    For those of you with an 8" grinder...

    I just picked up a Delta 8" variable speed grinder (1725 -3450 RPM), and while far from being non-usable, there is a decent bit of vibration. I took one of the wheels off and rotated it 180 degrees and reinstalled it, dressed both wheels, all the things that seemed like common sense to me...

    On sawmillcreek, there is a deal alert about a Delta bandsaw for 150. My local store wouldn't pricematch at first, because the receipts on SMC were from different states, but I talked to the manager and he made a phone call to his manager, who gave the green light. The saw in question is...
