Thank you all once again!

Oh thats it? I didnt know if it was something special or not and was needing to get back up and running asap and cant wait for mail delivery this time of the year. Pen orders are FLYING in for christmas. Thank you!

My 10er power switch broke and am i able to use a house light switch in a metal box?

Yes so i have decided just to keep both the only reason i bought the second one was for the jointer that it had and for the price i couldn't say no.

I cant speak for it as of yet but some things to consider 1) its a skip product, how can it be bad 2) its a true varible speed controller 3) digital tach 4) bigger motor.... What could be bad lol jk but on a serious note tho, i dont think going that route would be a bad thing at all. Im going to buy...

on 1 of my 10ers i do have the speed changer. Im not real worried about having a second speed changer because, i am gonna upgrade my main er to skips control box with digital tach and 1hp motor. when i do that i will move the speed changer over to my secondary 10er.

Im not an expert but from what i do know your best option that i can think of is put it up in your shop for a year or 2 to let it dry. Maybe someone can help more than i can with helping it dry faster.

How old/seasoned is it?

thank you, yes they are it was VERY relaxing to do. I have wanted to set the SS up as a lathe ever since i got it 3 years ago just never put forth the effort or $ to do so. I figured it was about time lol.
