John, what Timber wolf blade did you get for resawing? I would like to try a different blade than the SS 5/8 blade, I do a lot of 6" stock and they don't seem to stay sharp for very long and then I get a lot of cupping as well. I have touched them up with my dremmel and then they cut true again...

My father used to own a small saw mill years ago, and I can remember hitting various hardware in the trees when sawing. The worst one I remember was hitting a horseshoe that was apparently laid in the crotch of a tree and then grown around. I remember my dad saying many choice words and having to ha...

I'm right with you on the spiral blades, I'll put one in to try and after about a minutes use swap it back to a regular blade. The idea is great but the mess ups you can make with little twitches is truly amazing.

I still say I would lean on them pretty hard for a new replacement and then they could figure out what is wrong with the problem unit in their own sweet time.

My DIY PowerPro runs smooth as silk, but the quill doesn't retract the way it should either. I have removed it probably a dozen times at least and it still bothers. If it were me I would ask for a replacement if it was bought as a ready assembled unit. They need to make it right!

Al, what in incredible job you have done. I've been so impressed I have been showing pictures of it to my wife as the project went on.

Great job!!!

John, a quick question if I may, what do you use for paint on your ER restorations? They look amazing!!

That is a truly awesome looking job! I want a 10er to rebuild so bad, but can't seem to find a good deal on one close to me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Bill!!

I have used one of those arbors with a saw blade for years until just recently when I picked up a 5/8 blade arbor. You will have issues with trying to tilt the table a lot as the nut and end of arbor will hit the trunion bar of the table, but otherwise it worked just fine for me.
