    DW735 Planer DC Upgrade

    After completing the replacement of a broken exhaust fan and the entire dust shroud, Dewalt DW735 Issue I decided that there must be alternative ways to direct the DC hose in order to not interfere with the outfeed table. I found this YouTuber with an option to redirect without a 90 bend...

    Conveyer Cleaning

    For those of you have drum sanders; what do you use to clean the conveyer belt? My "Supermax" 19-38 could use a good cleaning. I have just been giving it a good blast of air from the compressor, but there is still stuff that looks like it needs more. (I don't want to get too aggressive and...

    Dewalt DW735 Issue

    I have had the DW735 for about 16 years. No issues other than a drive belt replacement. I have been busy milling up some stock for my latest project and noticed that the thickness adjustment crank is getting really difficult to turn. I took off the cover, cleaned out sawdust that didn't make it...

    I have turned a number of Christmas ornaments using pine, maple and cypress scraps. LOML would like to see them in various colors. "TransTint" is one brand I have used in the past, but at $23 a bottle; it gets expensive if she wants variety of different colors....no,I prefer not to paint...

As a rule, I would be building frames sized to accommodate standard print sizes (5x7, 8x10 etc.) And off the shelf mat boards. I have a picture frame project coming up where the off the shelf pre cut mat...

    Plywood and Drum Sander

    Off the wall question. I am in need of some thin (1/8" oak plywood) for a small project. I have plenty of 1/4" ply and was wondering if I can run it through my drum sander to drawn down the thickness? Parts are about 12" square and only need one face veneered in oak.

    Bending Plywood

    I am working on a small box (for a Grandson) 14" x 25" x 12" high. Wanting to loosely resemble a treasure chest. I was thinking of a curved lid but failed miserably using angle rip cuts on plywood slats (aka coopering) to result in the curve I was looking for! I prefer to have the lid around...

    Woodpeckers Tools Customer Service

    Around eight years ago, I purchased the Kreg PRS3000 router lift and PRS1045 router table. I found out that the Kreg PRS3000 lift is actually a rebrand of Woodpeckers PRL_V2. Awhile ago, I noticed that the fine adjust height adjust thumb wheel had gotten extremely difficult to turn. I decided to...

    My Fein Turbo II dust extraction/vac purchased 12 years ago died on me yesterday! Ordered a new Turbo II today.

    Stuck Hole Saw

    This afternoon I had to drill 4 - 2 1/2" holes into some 3/4" plywood. I grabbed a Lennox 2 1/2" hole saw and arbor. Successfully drilled the holes on my drill press and when finished, I tried removing the hole saw from its arbor and it was like it was welded to the arbor. I tried vice grips...

    Arbor Flange & Nut Search

    I have had my Craftsman Hybrid zipcode saw - 22124 for about 15 years now and it has worked flawlessly for me. I am finding that that arbor flange washer (OR91026) and arbor nut (OR91050) are looking a little weary! They have been discontinued or back ordered at both Sears Parts and...
