    Finally got the beast running

    Thanks to the help of C Powell, I finally got my Saylor Beall compressor up and running. I purchased this off Craigs list sometime last fall, sans a motor for $125.00 ( 5 hp 2 stage / 60 gal horizontal tank model) This is a stock photo which looks very much like mine. I had to purchase...

    Controlling the Hidden Beast

    There has been considerable attention by woodworkers here and on other forums concerning Dust Collection. I recently purchased a ClearVue Cyclone (like at least five others here) and I've looked at how others have installed their units and the duct works to rid their shops from all that...

    Tweaked the Beast **w/pics**

    It has been awhile since I replaced the table jackscrew dust boots on my 20" planer with the nice red motorcycle fork boots. After installing the boots I had to re-align the table. I quickly found everything on the planer was out of whack, including the four blades. The blades were a...

    I Wixied my beast! **w/pics**

    I finally got around to mounting a Wixey digital height gauge on my new (old) Delta RC-51 20" planer. The expanded 2:1 analog scale on the RC-51 is the best I have ever seen but I wanted the precision of the Wixey. Installation of this unit on a movable bed planer is not as straightforward...

    New boots for the beast!! **w/pics**

    One of the few things needing attention on the beast (new old Delta 20" planer) were the four boots that keep dust off the table height leadscrews. The ones that came on the machine were shot- ripped/torn, and in need of replacement. Delta wanted $52 apiece!!! I looked at some automotive...

    The Beast has Ascended!!!! *w/pics*

    Today I used the hoist to lift the beast upright and onto its heavy duty casters. After picking up some heavy duty chain at Lowes, I hoisted the beast to my shop. Except for some failed lifts where the cable activated the limit stop early, hoisting went smoothly. Cable noise on drum was a...

    A beast followed me home

    I met fellow North Carolina Woodworker, Terry Reilly, in Fayetteville today and followed him in my car with trailer to Paul Sutton's shop where three old men (I was the youngest by a lot at 58 :-) ) wrestled the beast. We successfully (?!?!?!?) loaded Paul's Delta RC-51 20" planer onto my...

    Is there such a beast???? pics added

    I am going to make some boxes this weekend for my mother to give as X-mas gifts. They will be heart shaped with a heart shaped locking key piece. I want the lid to pivot on the point of the heart. I plan to use some sort of a pivot pin, but the more that I think about the design, the more I...
