Which tool do you USE the most
The recent thread on scary tools plus the ongoing discussions about just how good is the Shopsmith in Table Saw mode got me to wondering which Shopsmith setups people use most frequently. When I asked myself this question, the answer was easy - I use the table saw set-up more than any other, and, I ...

Re: Which tool do you fear the most?
I have great respect for the jointer but never a fear Likewise. I have a lot of respect for the bumps on top of the jointer fence. Hands are never placed between them. Following this rule, so far so good. And of course any piece shorter than the distance between the bumps gets jointed with a differ...

Re: Which tool do you fear the most?
ouch! Score another for the ts. One of my worst in the shop, not counting kick backs from the ts that missed me by a hair, was when I took the edge of a thumb off with a box cutter...I was holding a straight edge down with the left hand and pulling the knife along the straight edge with the right. I...

Re: Which tool do you fear the most?
I have always heard that the table saw is responsible for the most shop accidents, so it gets my respect and attention every time I use it. That said, anything that spins at high speed and/or has sharp edges is rightly to be...well, maybe not feared...but approached with an abundance of caution. Ed ...

Re: How to Use Lathe Eccentric Tail Stock Bushing
All good ideas and information, especially about using epoxy to fil the dimple in the eccentric and maybe even having a second eccentric to use just for non-eccentric turning. I have used jb Weld to fill the dimple but recently just bit the bullet and ordered a new one from the mother ship. First ti...

Re: Crosscut Sled Sustained Accuracy
My '54 carriage has a "positioning stud" that works fine. The stud is a threaded bolt that screws into threads tapped in the carriage. There is a nut that tightens over the stud to lock it into place once the stud adjustment is done. This arrangement serves the same function as the rubber ...
