Re: Dimensioning thin stock with a disk sander.
I make small items that have pieces as thin as 1/8-inch. I have boxes full of short hardwood cutoffs with all sorts of thicknesses. A box where I want all the sides to be the same thickness comes to mind. I would resaw it to get the required thickness and sand it flat. To do this with a conical san...

I make small items that have pieces as thin as 1/8-inch. I have boxes full of short hardwood cutoffs with all...

Re: Dimensioning thin stock with a disk sander.
A conical sanding disk will work better. There are also rotary planers. Have you done this with a Conical disk? I can see where they would work better. I am seriously considering buying the disks in the video but not for this purpose. I know about the rotary planers. Right now, I resaw and sand off...

Re: Tell me what this tool does
It is a Sears/Craftsman Router pantograph. I have one in my shop. I have played with it but never built a project with it.

Re: table extension brackets
Now I know why someone would want two fences. Just when I thought I had everything I would ever need for my Shopsmith.

Re: Don't Know Why
OS/2 Warp is still around. It is now ArcaOS 5.0. I have supported OS/2, DOS, Windows, Solaris, and Linux for many years in the desktop environment and many servers. Linux is by far the best. It's everywhere. Linux is in your TV, Phone, DVR, and any electronics you have labeled smart has some version...
