I'm looking to try to standardize some of my bolts and see if I can find them with 5/32 hex key heads.
Incra on their gauges and sleds etc often use 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 bolts, but all with 3/16 hex key heads.
Does anyone know of a source for these bolts with 5/32 hex key heads?
Thanks in advance...

Wow! I have questions, is he a member here? I know his name is familiar. Really long 520 fence, 5' he says, wondering how he did that as I've always ASSUMEd that the SS version would lack some rigidity. And this version evidently only uses the front lock, or at least does not use the normal rear lo...

I'm in the process of finishing assembling one of Al's Little Proteus Power Feeders. Someone asked about riving knives. The standard Shopsmith riving knife is an issue and you would have to check clearance when using it. If you have the non-through-cut riving knife, however, you will have no issues ...

OK guys, Al Ladd, who makes the Proteus Power Feeder, saw this thread and tried to join and respond, but he has been unable to do, due to some kind of registration error (I have no idea). He asked me to post this to the thread, as a FYI... so here goes... "Great to see my power feeder being dis...

My issue is that I find it hard to find a large square that's accurate to begin with. I have a 48 inch drywall square and a 24 inch carpenters square and neither is worth a damn. I would like to find a 24 inch carpenter's square that IS accurate - and as with most accurate tools, you then need to ca...

Anyone considering the SuperBar should check out the MasterPlate from the same people - also available in a shopsmith version - which makes it even easier to align your table to spindle. Gives you a machined flat reference plate to put on the saw arbor and with a good dial indicator setup in the mit...

I've been very happy with my Incra products overall. I have the v120 w/shopsmith track, a telescoping fence, and both old and new types of flip stops (which for some reason, work pretty much backwards from each other, why is that? I also have the Incra Wonderfence. I have never noticed that kind of ...

Hi guys, There's some confusion here about my handles - I make the 19 position quick release purple hub handle sets that have been referred to here. Someone was questioning how they even worked. I thought it might help if I explain how they work, and why they are better than either the single arm SS...
