    Bandsaw Tire Question

    Finally got to use my brand new Delta bandsaw today. After following the assembly instructions to the letter I started it up and it ran great, for about two minutes. A slapping sound behind the top wheel access door and I found the tire had come off the wheel while the blade was still centered...

    Ridgid gloat and question (or two)

    I finally got tired of using a sanding drum on my drill press so I broke down and bought the Ridgid Oscillating Spindle/Belt sander. I'm very impressed with the setup of the machine right out of the box. The table and miter slot were dead on 90 degrees to the sanding belt. The tracking of the...

    router duplicator question

    Hey guys, I have been thinking about buying a sign maker kit from rockler, but the more research I do, the more options I have. I'm really confused on what to get. From rockler I can get the interlocking lettering kit. Then I saw the Milescraft pantograph. It seems like I could do more with the...

    Bowl Turning Question

    I am turning my first "deep" bowl. I have a JEt 1642 lathe. I can reverse the motor on this model. Is it ok to do this so I can work on the inside of the deeper part of the bowl AND thus have a better line of sight to the portion I am working? Is there a danger here? Anything I need to consider...

    Question about applying sanding sealer?

    Just wondering when and really how do I need to apply sanding sealer. I am going to try and turn some Spalted Red Oak. With being the open grain ScottM suggested getting some sanding sealer. So I got this from Woodcraft. It doesn't really give much direction as how to apply. It says apply...

I am not seeing anything sort of light back there when I try and relight the pilot. Any idea what I should be seeing and...

    12" or 14" for RAS blade question

    Besides price, if your RAS can handle a 14" blade, is there any reason why you would use a 12" over the 14" size? Keep in mind that I will have either a 6" or 7" stabilizer set when I make my decision on the Forrest Woodworker I blade. I realize there is a little deeper cut (extra inch) and...

    Moisture Meter Question

    At Lowe's today I saw this moisture meter from General Tools for $29.98. I've never owned one http://generaltools.com/Products/Digital-LCD-and-LED-Moisture-Meter__MMD4E.aspx because I felt the prices were too high. But this is in my price range (okay, I'm cheap, I admit it. :gar-Bi) While...

    Another A/C in shop question

    I'm going to cool my shop.....garage. Why might I buy a dual hose portable over a window unit and vice versa? Although I'd probably like to, a mini-split isn't in the running. I'm checking, but I don't think my HOA has a problem with either. I already have heat in the garage. I fully...

    Hello from southeast TN! First post here, glad I found the place. I'm going to start a large timber frame and am going to use an electric drill and a 2" auger to remove the bulk of the mortice waste. I haven't done any framing in about 18 years, and used a T auger back then, but this frame...
