Re: User guide for 555471 Planer / Jointer Knife Sharpener

I assume you use the 150 grit. Do you follow with a finer grit? If so, where do you get it? Shopsmith doesn't offer any finer grit.

To keep the factory angle (looks to be 45) do you keep the table at zero, or 4 degrees as when sanding?

Looks like you could nick a knuckle if you're not careful.

User guide for 555471 Planer / Jointer Knife Sharpener

I purchased a used Shopsmith planer several years ago. I don't use it that often, and it is just now needing the knives sharpened. I received the 555471 Planer / Jointer Knife Sharpener and conical disc with the planer. But, there was no instructions on how to use the 555471. Can someone please poin...

Lumber Liquidators

Have any of you fellows installed floor from LL? I'm considering their flooring for the new house. But I see that there is a possible class action against them. It appears to center on Formaldehyde Levels in some of the flooring they sell that is being produced in China. I am going to the local stor...

Re: Federal Pacific Circuit Panels and Breakers

I had one of their boxes in a house I purchased in 1996. In 2011 I sold that house to my son. When he attempted to get insurance with the company I use, State Farm, he was told they no longer issue new policies on homes with FP boxes and breakers. He was also told that in the near future, they were ...

Re: Project that might push me to buy a panel saw (system)?

I haven't seen Menards' price for this service, but at my local HD, the first two cuts per sheet are free, and are only $0.50 per cut thereafter. Our Lowes neve...

Re: Wood Working Plans, question

Be sure to double check any free plans. I have found dimensional errors in many.
