I just bought the new Work Sharp hand held sharpener. $70 and it does a great job on knives and small tools. I even sharpened a couple of lawn mower blades I had sitting around. Quick and easy. And what is even better, it does a great job of de-rusting and polishing your old ShopSmith tubes. I just ...

All my circular blades (SS, cabinet saw, circular saw) are Freud. I buy on sale. Prices range from $40 to $90. My SS bandsaw blades are SS. My free standing 14" Bandsaw blades are Grizzly blades.

When I have a loose bearing seat, I take a chisel and hammer and score the shaft where the bearing seats parallel to the shaft and equal spaced around the shaft. It usually only takes a light tap with the hammer to tighten up the fit. Start really light because it does not take much to tighten the f...

Bosch 1/4 sheet sander. In fact I like it so much I have 2. Near as I can tell it's the only 1/4 sheet sander that you do not have to fight with the paper and the sander to do a paper swap. My orbital sander sits idle most of the time now.

Though I've not even had a chance to use my Shopsmith 500 table saw yet (need some safety gear first,) based on posts in these forums I've begun to wonder about the 510 and 520. I don't see myself shelling out $950 to $1250 for a shiny new upgrade kit*. I could buy a second whole used SS in a 510 o...

After removing 95% of the material, I'm then left with a mess which consists of large chunks mixed in with ...

Is there anyone out there who has successfully rebuilt the poly-v Drive Sleeve Assembly (518145). I have been told that I should not attempt to do this but I do not see why. I can readily see that the task can probably only be done by someone using the correct bearing pullers but what else is there...
