all of the above is good advice but if I can offer one more suggestion, it is to secure the rip fence if you are using it as backup. I have noticed some deflection on my 510 rip fence when using to back up my work in the horizontal boring mode. It is even worse if you have a dull bit. I now place a...

Yes I have one of those flexible :cool: shaft attachments from the 50's, belonged to my cousin and with the speed reducer was used many times as a drive unit for our ice cream maker :D Last time I used it was with the wire brush, it is kind of limited IMO because of its length and flexibility, too s...

Beautiful job on that one for sure! I don't know if 2 weeks would be enough time for me to get the plaining and resawing done!

Thanks Dusty for the fine pictures, no problem seeing! Later today when I get up I will compare the positions as illustrated by your pics, it looks like the last one you have is where you were pulling back. Glad to hear that yours is working fine, like I said maybe mine is faulty! I ALSO DON'T RECOM...

Well Ed I think you did a very good job addressing this, and I respect your opinion. I immediately went out and tried what you said, cut a little more length into my test piece so I could get a little more jerk length, of course the piece I used had to be white oak:D .... I lifted the guard for the ...

saw safety guard

I know that many of you have removed your saw safety /dust guard because it is a PITA to take off and put on when doing anything! I am guilty in a way too. When I got my SS it was left hanging on the wall but was later sent to me, one thing I learned a long time ago is that especially when ripping w...
