I recently did the same with a jointer I picked up on ebay. Mine had a layer of rust on the tables, so I tried wet 600 grit paper but that only took a little off. Then I used the naval jelly and that worked great. Buffed it up and waxed it and it looks like new. Now I just have to align the knives, ...

As far as the jointer being expensive, I found a used, slightly rusted one on ebay for $100, plust $40 shipping. I bought some high grit wet/dry sand paper and some of that marine jelly stuff and scrubbed all the rust off. Took apart the whole thing, cleaned it, had to buy some new blades and now it...

I would love to buy the SS planer. But I simply cannot afford it right now. So I got the Dewalt 735 on ebay for less than $400. I know the SS is better but I need a planer now, so hopefully down the road I will be able to get it and pass the Dewalt onto someone else in a similar position. If you are...

If you contact Oneway they will sell you the proper arbor to mount your chuck. Just tell them you have a SS.

I got some simple racks from Home Depot that screw into the studs, they hold like 50 pounds each, and I put them up the wall, about 4 in each row above one of my benches. I store all my crown, baseboard, and framing wood up on the top ones and project wood closer to my bench. I spaced the racks a li...

I agree with the others, you can find great ideas on here on how to use all your items! But if you want to sell them, ebay is the way to go. I see those items all the time.

Great link Dusty, thanks! Hey, I was watching the mitre saw video and they had a very handy clamp that came from behind the fence to clamp small pieces on. Anyone have any idea where to get one of those. I have a Dewalt and work with small pieces of baseboard sometimes, would be nice to have that fe...

Thanks everyone for the replies! Sarge, I tried you method since I had the brush on hand. You are right, amazing difference!! My elbows thank you, lol!

The Talon chuck with the #2 jaws has External (compression) MIN-1-5/8" and MAX 2-7/8" Internal (expansion) MIN 2" and MAX 3 ½" . You can check their website for capacity with other jaws. The Stronghold with #2 has External (compression) Min 1¾" Max 3¼" Internal (expansi...

I scored a 1993 jointer on ebay for just $100.:D It has some rust on the table but no apparent pitting. I have been using naval jelly and elbow grease to get rid of it as I saw Nick do. I also have some of those pads he recommended for removing the stains. It is doing a pretty good job, although not...
