    Rigid R2600 5" Disc Sander Woes

    I have had this sander for about a year and it worked great until recently. Seems that something in the bearing shaft let go and the disc just wants to spin on startup instead of oscillate. I can put the sander down on the wood and then start it and it works OK. However, setting a spinning disc...

    Table Saw Woes Finally Ended

    It almost didn't happen today. I went to pick up the saw at the freight depot instead of having it delivered. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to move it off of the truck and I didn't want to pay 235 bucks for a lift gate. When I was pulling up to get the saw at the dock, I saw a box fall...

    Delta 10" Miter Saw, Electic Brake Woes

    Hey all- I've got a Delta 10" compound miter saw that I purchased about 8 years ago or so. Lately the electric brake has been taking awhile to engage, and now sometimes it won't engage at all. Could this be the result of dust getting in a contact somewhere...or is it even repairable? I'm...

    Jointer Woes

    Sunday I went to turn my DJ-30 jointer on. It started up and then there was a large "pop" followed by a stinky smell. Well today my Dad and I checked it out. Apparently a wire connection came loose. The loose wire is to the right of the capacitor. We are guessing that after the wire...

    Resaw woes

    I'm having trouble resawing on my 14" Grizzly G0555 band saw (no riser block). I messed up some of Todd's (tv) pieces last week, and didn't fare any better slicing some of my own sycamore boards. I'm using a shop made fence (6") tall that I clamp to the stock fence. The blade is a 1/2"...

    Drill Press Woes....

    I have a Craftsman 15" drill press that is giving me some challenges today. I'm attempting to drill some 21/32" holes in some aluminum channels. I have the speed set to 990. When attempting to drill I get a fair amount of "chatter" and then the chuck and arbor fall out of the spindle. I've...

    Jointer woes

    Well, I just figured out that my inability to joint a perfectly straight edge is NOT just due to lack of talent alone. Thanks to the 48" precision straightedge that Woodguy1975 so graciously let me borrow, I have finally figured out what I've suspected for a while now: 8-O Don't...
