Re: PowerPro Gen 1 to Gen 2 Upgrade Video

I've been offline for a while. What is the upgrade for? Any new features, or is it a reliability issue. My Powerpro is a 2014 vintage, going strong!

Re: Adding heat- wiring question

We have been saving on our electric bill. It’s a leased system so we pay the leasing company a set fee each month. If we use more that we produce, there is a bill from Eversource.

Re: Adding heat- wiring question

Well, time flies! I did run 10 gauge wire, but never installed any heat. With all the insulation I installed, and the fact that my furnace lives nearby, the temperature never got below 65 degrees! My sleeve unit AC has a heat function, but I only turned it on once over the winter just to see if it w...

Power stand and a bandsaw

A few years ago I acquired a power stand. It came with the motor. What size pulley do I need to put on the bandsaw? I have two Shopsmith band saws and would like one of them to live on this stand.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Turning Bowls in a Wheelchair/Powerchair

Now, no dissing of Shopsmith intended, nor do I want to spend your money, but I believe Oneway makes a dedicated lathe for those in wheelchairs. Food for thought.

Re: Dust collection

After taking off my original felt filter bag I saw and remembered why a canister adaptation will not be practical, regardless of air flow. The blower motor housing takes up a third or more of the space in the filter bag. You would have to make a very large adaptor to mount the canister filter on. T...

Re: Sharpening Guide

I gave mine away. Get a slow speed grinder and a Wolverine jig. You will be happier.

I’m employed full time (60 hours a week!) No check for me. As a tier 1b worker, I get my vaccine Friday! Grateful.
