Has anyone built and does any one use the sliding base for the drill press vise offered by SS? I have had the plan for it for some time (along with a lot of specialty jaw plans) but it is not clear to me the circumstances where it might be useful.

Does anyone have experience with putting the Oneida delux collector on the intake side of a DC3300? Seems logical for this single stage collector but not sure it is worth the money or the extra finagling that might be necessary if the DC has to be moved around. Anybody tried it?

I've found a "little used" 1989 free standing SS Scroll Saw for 1/3 the new price but am unsure of how to evalute its condition other than to turn it on and see if it runs. Suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks to all who reply. Looking at it tomorrow.

Here is a project done using my Shopsmith 520, its jointer and band saw accessories, a DeWalt 735 planer, and hand tools. It is a shaker inspired media cabinet from solid cherry, except for the panels which are a crotch cherry veneer over plywood, and for the back which is ship lapped poplar. The ...

Thanks for the reply Bill. A new lag bolt and washer system is supplied with the upgrade. Are you suggesting using something other that the supplied parts? My dad was 20 years in the Navy too. Flew in the Pacific during WWII. Lucky to get out alive....

I have found a used Joiner locally on CL and I'm going to look at it tomorrow. What should i look for or look out for. No picture of the Jointer. From reading all the posts about Jointers i found out that there are the older models with 3 screws and the newer models with 5. The seller did say he ...

I bought a Shop Deputy "upgrade" as a result of installing the Double Tilt upgrade and because I have a recently rebuilt Mark V powerhead. Looks pretty straight forward but wanted to check if anybody has any special advice or tricks on putting this thing together.

I have ordered a double tilt upgrade for my 520 which I recently upgraded to Powerpro status. I have some projects coming up that will be best done with a shaper and I wanted to go under table for a variety of reasons. Anybody with any advice on installing the double-tilt when it arrives, or on use ...

I want to thank everyone for playing with this question. As I mentioned before I am going to try grounding the hose, which I think is the only ungrounded element of my system. I suppose an explosion is remotely possible, even in a small shop like mine, but tell the truth I am mostly trying to avoid ...

Reading all this makes me think the answer is to ground the plastic tubing going from the SS dust collector to the DeWalt 735 Planer. I say this because the planer itself is grounded through the three prong plug and the dust collector is grounded in the same way. The planer is connected to the dust ...
