No, it's not stopped. It's more that the speed was decreasing enough that the board wasn't really feeding itself through the planer. Still happened some after waxing. For knife sharpening, while I don't have the SS sharpening jig, I do have a slow speed wet grinder setup with a guide clamp for long ...

As far as thickness goes, I always start where the board can't touch at all, and slowly through successive passes at a decreasing thickness of 1/16" on each pass, keep running the board through until it starts making contact. Then, based upon how the planer responds, I'll run a different thickn...

I was planing again last night and realized I misquoted the amount I was taking off in each pass. I was doing 1/4 turns of the handle, which the chart says is 1/64" on each pass.

I finally found a way to bog down the powerpro, pretty heavily in fact. I picked up some very twisted and bowed ~2.25"x14-18"x8' live edge rough-sawn oak slabs that someone was throwing out. Looked like they got a pallet of them in for a remodel and left them in the rain. I cut a piece dow...

When I bought my mark mounted planer in early 2020, the manuals that came with it referred to both the mark mounted and the pro planer. I believe the owners manual itself was labeled as the pro planer. This being the case, I can see the easy confusion on the seller's end. For mine, I have run it on ...

This was actually one of the first times in this thread that I haven't had to look up where somewhere is (except for major cities).

From the article in the link, the name of the bill is "Preserving Woodworking Traditions and Blocking Government-Mandated Monopolies Act". A quick google search comes up with the congress.gov link that gives all useful information on the bill itself and actions taken, such as the bill bein...

I know a few years ago (probably over a decade now, as I'm forgetting how old I am) California was getting petitioned by SawStop to require blade brakes on all new saws, making them the sole provider to the state until other vendors catch up. I just searched online to see what's happening at the nat...

What news? I jumped over to google news and searched both for shopsmith and rlf brands and came up with only obituaries or articles not talking about shopsmith at all. Got a link?

I don't know Texas law all that well to know if shipping costs are taxed as well. I know that some sites do charge tax on shipping, while others don't. I feel like it's less common for them to charge it on shipping though. There was a time that I lived just barely outside of a certain taxing jurisdi...
