To pay for the double tilt upgrade I sold by router table, that also friend up 5' of floor space , a bunch of wall space and an outlet. If also allowed me to get my plunge router back so I did not have to buy another one. So yes to get the full Mark 7 you need to get creative about what you can repl...

I have said this many times and repeat it again in this thread, the PowerPro upgrade after selling all the excess stuff is very reasonable. What is a used Ridged saw worth, close to nothing, well a used 510 motor with dual bearing quill or speed increaser/reducer is worth more than a new Ridged saw ...

The Post Office has not/does not get any funds from the U. S. Treasury as tax dollars, surplus, grants, loans or any other subsidized funding from the government. Period. Has not since 1971. Since 1996, they have to pay up front at least one year's worth of retirement and insurance benefits per man...

I''m really surprised we aren't seeing this motor technology in other tools. Why? Typically it is but one reason: cost. That is the main reason we still have huge rotating antenna dishes on radar towers. Prior to the rotary waveguide joint, the radar transmitter and receiver used to spin with the r...

There is nothing stopping FedEx/UPS from going after "Junk Mail" except economics and profit. If they really wanted the business, they would offer competitive rates to junk mailers. Only the post office can put something in your mailbox, the one you paid to have put on your house. FedEx o...

None of this bodes well for the USPS. And they have fierce and extremely competent competition in the overnight and parcel-delivery niches. They seem to do well with the flat-rate boxes, which are definitely popular with eBay sellers. In the very near future, mail-type service will only deliver stu...

We've discussed this point before. The fed had not subsidized the Post Office since 1971. The Post Office pays the Congress billions of dollars each year to pay for retirement funds, premiums for health and life insurance. Otherwise, the post office pays its own way, that's why it is in the red and...

Technically, there is "money" in the trust fund the same as there ever was. They never kept an all cash balance, like any company or fund they put the cash in low risk high liquidity investments. They always owned treasuries, they are just directed to ONLY own treasuries now. Large organi...
