I think if I can recall back that far... the jig provides a very different angle then is on the orginal tool. Some where in the manual or in the book I think they mention this. I know when I set it up I expected it to be off by a small amount but the amout was a lot larger then that. I went with mak...

Hi, Has everyone that wanted information about the sharpening guide got it figured out? I can look for mine and take some pictures but I'm not so sure what good that will do. The resources posted should help out and if you have the manual take the time to read what it says there. As long as you foll...

Hi, I got a small container some years back mostly for router bits but to be honest I couldn't tell any difference between those with and those without.

Ed - I appreciate what you have done here - especially with the stacked feathers. However - gotta say these methods would be way over engineered in my shop. I found out a SS featherboard fits perfectly in a groove (or dado) that is the same width of most 3/4" plywood. (29/32"?) Once you h...

Hi, I was just working on a project... planning at this stage and while doing that I noticed that I was going to have to come up with a way to use something like a feather board but off on an extension table........ mmmmmmmmmmm [/QUOTE So you mean a SS floating extension table not a free standing i...

Ed "On things that don't have a wear factor and I don't want to rust I usually coat them in Penetrol by Flood products. It is a paint additive that is fantastic just painted on bare metal. I is almost plastic like and nothing I have painted with the product has rusted. I know many old timers us...
