OK, let me reword my question: Can anyone tell me the size of the Woodruff key for the Planer drive shaft when using a pulley rather than a coupler? No, in fact, I do know the difference between the types of keys and how they are used. It was just simpler while sitting here reading the latest posts ...

Planer pulley key

Picked up a SS mount planer that was mounted on a power stand. The planer pulley Woodruff key is missing. Does anyone know what size the key should be and should it have a flat or full-radius style bottom? The keyway is full-radius so I assume the key should match. The motor pulley is there and is a...

I thank all of you for your service. While never having served myself, I hope that I have contributed to supporting many of you while working for a large Seattle aerospace company, especially the time I spent in Philadelphia where the Sea Knight, Chinook, and Osprey are made. And to my late Father-i...

Dremel

I removed a hardwood floor using the Dremel Multimaster. I was reinstalling it in another room so needed to not destroy the tongues. The Dremel metal cutting blade slid underneath and clipped the 2" staples at the floor with little effort. I also used it for shortening the trimwork around doors...

Dusty, Go here and watch their videos. I've stood and watched Alex cut those reindeer continuously at The Woodworking Show for a number of years now. It is really something. I did finally buy the guide but haven't as yet installed it. Soon as the additions to the garden (Square Foot Garden) are comp...

Dusty: I don't make up the news, I just report it. Tim: Jerry doesn't just represent the company, he is the demonstrator, inventor and owner. It could be they still have some in stock and therefore have not changed the website until its gone. Could be that the Webmaster isn't up to date on his to do...
