Re: Were retractable casters an option?

Maybe this will help answer the question. It is the picture of the Mark 7 from the online catalog today. See any castors? _ Mark 7 11-04-2024 OL Cat.jpg . I believe the Retractable Castors have always been an option. As John said accessory packages are available that include them. Buyers commonly p...

Re: Were retractable casters an option?

As I remember when I bought my 510 from Woodcraft in 1994 there were accessory packages. I think the castors was one of them.

Re: Stand alone overhead router manual please!

Obviously, I need to derust these! Hope these pictures help. Thanks, very useful. They must have made special brackets to hold the caster brackets at the right distance. I think I can cut blocks of wood to do the same thing. I'll scan the manual this week for the stand-alone and it's options. At on...

Re: 12in stand mounted planer question

Just take it off the stand, remove the pulley and add a hub and sit it on the MK V. You will have to make a couple of clamps to hold it to the way tubes. The original clamps do come up on EBay from time to time. You can make a pair out of wood 2 X 2's until you find originals. Or just use the fabric...

Re: Grinding Wheel Kit 505874 for Mortising Bits

Before trying a Corner Chisel compare the price to the Japanese Type Mortise Chisels. There is less chance for error with the Mortise Chisel than squaring out the hole with a corner chisel. I'm probably going to get a corner chisel anyway, they have a lot uses. Right now I'm looking at squaring out...

Re: Glue to attach Planer Stainless Steel Clad to Aluminum Casting

Looks nice, but wondering why it would be necessary to do this. Not possible to clean, polish, and wax the aluminum table to achieve a low friction surface? Because that is the way the OEM aluminum table on the MK mount planer was constructed. The non MK mount Pro Planer has a cast iron table. To s...

Re: Oneway Wolverine Grinding Jig

David; I have stared at that picture in the first post and come to a similar conclusion. If the inside washer was left off, I wonder if that would create an imbalance situation? As mentioned, these steel wheels are quite heavy. The SS recessed washers are 0.2 inches thick, so leaving one off would ...

Re: Band Saw Blues. Bad blade, or pilot error?

6 TPI is way too fine for that cut. It is essentially a re-saw cut. The blade should be 3-4 TPI.
