    Problem ripping wood on table saw

    I am a relative novice at woodworking. I have a table saw and am fairly confident the blade is parallel to the fence (but maybe you'll tell me otherwise). There are no burn marks on the cut side of the wood and the cuts are very smooth. When I rip a board, as the cut portion of the board moves...

    Problem with this Thread location

    I don't feel this thread belongs in the FFS/HD Forum as it isn't really appropriate there. :icon_scra I do feel it belongs in the OT, but the problem there is that some members may need this info that have opted out of that Forum. :dontknow: The real reason I'm making this suggestion is that...

    Delta 22-785X planer problem

    Hello All, I was using my Delta 22-785X planer, and was at the final pass, when I pulled out the rod to change to the slower feed rate. The rod came completely out of the machine, followed by a stream of oil. I re-inserted the rod, which seemed to stop the flow of oil, then turned the rod...

    Hand Plane Problem

    I have a couple of inexpensive Stanely hand planes that I was storing in a tool box shelf with a silca gel packet in the drawer with them. Evidently last time I was using my dust mask, that has cloth straps, I threw it in there when done and then put the planes on top of it. I went to get my...

    trim shaping problem

    I am trying to figure out how to match some trim for a piece I'm working on. I need 25' of OAK 3/4 X 1 1/2 with a 3/4" bull nose type curve on each side. I could just use a bull nose router bit, but it would leave a flat spot between curves. I could also cut a bull nose on each piece, rip it to...

    Porter Cable Belt Sander Problem

    I have an older Porter Cable belt sander & shortly after starting to use it today (less than 2 minutes) noticed it was getting very hot, lost some power, and had an excessive amout of blue sparks coming from the motor housing. I haven't had any problems with it in the past. Any idea what's...

    Electric Motor Problem?

    I have a Dayton 1 1/2 hp motor on a compressor. It will start up fine while there is no air pressure in the tank, but when the tank starts to get full sometimes it will trip the breaker before it gets full or most of the time it will pump it all the way up and then trip when it tries to start up...

    Square problem

    I made some end panels for a cabinet. But when I measured and marked the end of the panel I couldn't get or confirm it square. I checked my old rusty trusty framing square and from each side it was different. So I used a 5 foot Starrett machinist's straight edge to check the sides of the panel...

    CA finish problem

    Inspired by Alex's technique I've been working on CA finishes for my pens. I'm pretty pleased with the sheen but today after I took a Sapele Slimline off the mandrel I noticed these milky spots next to the center band. They weren't there when I first finished the final polishing. (Honest!)...

    Mortiser problem

    I'm new to mortising and experienced a problem with a new Powermatic model 701 bench top mortiser. When doing my first attempt the chisel and bit got extremly hot in just a few seconds. I thought may be I did not have the bit and chisel installed properly. I read instructions and tried again...

    Refinishing problem

    I’m refinishing and old (not antique) desk. The top is a nice, reasonably thick, mahogany veneer. The problem is that it was grain filled with white filler before it was sprayed with the usual thick toners to cover up that nice veneer. I’ve stripped and sanded it but the white filler...

    Biscuit Problem? or Not...

    I have noticed on several wood working shows, on TV, when biscuits are used the wood worker seems to apply pressure while inserting the biscuit. I used my biscuit cutter (RYOBI) on a recent job and all the biscuits went in rather loose. The cutter was purchased from a one time owner who used it...

    Miter Gauge Problem

    Ok, well it's not really a "problem" per se, at least not one I mind having. I have two very good miter gauges, an Incra Miter 1000SE and an Accu-Miter with clamp. Both have been heavily used but are in excellent condition with all the parts fully functional. I'm trying to decide if there's a...
