I have not had my band saw hooked up to the Power-pro yet. I still have one more upgrade to do. I will try and get that done this week and see if there are any issues. I will also copy the adjustment procedure for future reference.
Thanks for sharing this information.

I really like your Civil War pen. Pen turning is on my " to learn in 2012" list. Where could I find the kit for such a fine pen?

I wonder if their % of price increases will reflect in % of drop in sales:confused: I have bought what I could (sort of) afford but if the prices on some of the items I still want/need go up too much, I will have to do some serious "shopping around". With the prices of everything going up ...

One of your photos looks like the ears were lopped off at some point. You should be able to rig up a pair of ears. As I understand it the infeed and out feed tables or finished as a pair and you cannot replace one or the other without having them machined to mate. The ears are there primarily to hol...
