My problem is the noise gets loud with the disk sander on it and it didn’t have that noise years ago. Should I attempt to record it and post here? Unfortunately, the forum does not allow video or audio files as direct attachments. Others have posted videos to YouTube and provided a link. I have use...

If the start switch is stuck closed, then be very careful not to let it run too long. Be thankful your breaker IS tripping. Last year I had to clean out my motor when it only hummed when trying to start, and I re-formed the contact arms too much such they were unable to disengage properly, and then ...

Welcome to the forum. While you may be annoyed and frustrated now, that will soon pass as you have come to the right place where many users with years of experience are more than willing to share their knowledge to help you past this hurdle. Sounds like you have taken all the right steps so far to t...

For the table creeping down, I take that to mean that too deep of a cut is being attempted and the extra pressure is causing the table to self-lower. The solution of going from greater to lesser is not worded very well, and yes, that is the correct way to plane. Mine is manual feed, so it is hard fo...

The Trouble Shooting portion of the Planer Owner's Manual says if your boards are tapered side to side, then the Pressure Rollers may need to be adjusted. From what you have already done, it sounds like you have the Owner's Manual, but if not, there is one available on Everett Davis' My Google Drive...

However, getting the nut loose enough to do that is necessary first. On my 500 Mark V, the handle for loosening that nut is ...

Also, a slower speed (such as L or M) gives more torque when doing heavy ripping.

While selling equipment is not allowed on this site out of respect for the sponsor who sells new equipment, I can offer some general comments and suggestions. Most sales for an entire machine are done using Craigslist or FBMarketplace (so I understand ... I don't use Facebook). Check your local list...

Thanks to all who have replied and offered suggestions.

The faucet has managed to stop leaking, on its own, so if it ain't broke, I'm not going to try to fix it (for now).

I have new O rings to try in case the leak(s) re-appear.

Yes, I think there is a market, providing it is reasonably priced. With Craigslist (which I regularly check), you never know for what items actually sell. I too see ads that stay up for long periods of time, and there are probably many reasons. Some sellers just forget to take ads down when their it...
