    3 1/4 hp router options?

    I ordered a Triton 3 1/4 hp router motor for my router table at the end of the year and it is on back order. Woodcraft said it would be February, but now Triton they say they are not sure when they will have it. The Bora gets bad reviews on amazon. I just noticed that Grizzly has one available...

    Black Walnut thread

    I have been going through lots of kiln dried black walnut lumber this year. I have a preference for air dried, I just find the warm reds and even the creamy sapwood more interesting. Unfortunately air dried walnut is hard to come by regularly especially where I'm located on the coast. So for...

    Orbital Sanding Stroke

    I'm considering a new orbital. I've had both 3mm and 5mm stroke air sanders for years and love them, but I'm planning to go with electric. I have the rotex 190 that gets a lot ion use in my shop and I like it but the 5mm orbital strokes are visible when sanding to 150 in preparation for a...

    I went on amazon to purchase a new box of Mirka Abranet (it's been a while as a box usually lasts me a couple years) and Mirka now offers "Autonet". Does anyone have any experience with it. It's considerably less expensive. This is Mirka's explanation which isn't very helpful. "Abranet has...

    Bridgewood Wide Belt Sander Rebuild

    Last year I picked up a wide belt sander from an estate that had been sitting for 15 years. With help from a couple members here we were able to replace all of the air lines that had disintegrated. We got 6 months of use and now one of the diaphragms is leaking. Talked with Powermatic and...

The CNC was available with a vacuum table but I have a couple of vacuum pumps that I have used for a veneer press and a vacuum chuck for my lathe so I decided not to get the vacuum table option.

    Two chucks on a Powermatic standing square chisel mortiser?

    I purchased a Powermatic 320 mortising machine from an estate. It has a small Jacobs chuck mounted in the larger chuck. My only guess is that the second chuck shortens the length between the chuck and the clamp that secures the square chisel allowing use of a shorter chisel / drill bit set...
