Re: Table setup and sanding disks

If you visit the site you will see the disk is just steel. You can buy the disk alone if you want. The hook and loop is a separate feature to stick to the bare disk that allows the use of their sandpaper disks in different grits.

Table setup and sanding disks

I received e-mail from Infinity cutting tools this morning. This item was of interest to me. I thought some of the members might be interested in these setup - sanding disks. They look to be well made with a tolerance of .002. The price is very good and the fact that you could put a different sandin...

Re: Bandsaw Maintenance...where to begin

I am looking at your second video. When you spin the band saw by hand I can see that your saw blade is totally covered by the blade guides. I think the teeth on the saw blade are rubbing the blade guides causing the noise. You should back up your saw blade guides so they are just behind the teeth on...

Re: Shopsmiths 3" caster upgrade as it unfolds

My Shopsmith was bought in the 70's and the level adjusters are close to the outside edges. When I installed the new wheels the adjustment levers were hitting the flanges. All I did was to add some thick washers on the wheel shafts and put them back in. It worked fine and gave me just enough clearan...

Re: Shopsmiths 3" caster upgrade as it unfolds

I have a 500 too. After the wheel upgrade the lift arms were hitting my flanges. They didn't hit by very much so I took off the new wheels and slid a large flat washer on each shaft. When I reinstalled them in their holes it gave enough clearance for me. It worked fine. Good luck Ps the flat washers...

Re: Yet another, slightly different, blade discussion

Morning fellow Shopsmithians; I have been using a Shick injector razor all my adult life, which is a long time as I'm going on 68 years young.It has an adjustment dial on top of it so you can set the space between the blade and the bar that rides on your face.

Re: Pro Planer

I have had a shop smith mounted planer for twenty five years. I bought a pro planer about six months ago. In my opinion the pro planer is the winner hands down. I used the mounted planer to plane lots of wood many pieces near the 12 inch wide variety. I found it to be very time consuming to get the ...
