    Vibration in new Steel City 6 inch jointer

    Hi all. I have a brand new Steel City 6 inch jointer. This is my first jointer and last night was my first use. I noticed more vibration in the jointer than I would have expected, but since I have zero past experience, I don't know what would be considered normal vibration. I would...

    Steel City 65115

    Does anyone own the Steel City 65115 Mini Dust Collector? Amazon has it for $39.99 and there are two reviews that do not speak highly of it. I read a professional review that claimed it worked well but was quite loud. My shop is in my barn and noise is not a major concern since I usually wear...

    Steel Shim Stock

    I have a Delta dedicated mortiser that needs a little shimming to be perfectly square in all directions. Does anyone know a source close to Fayetteville that might sell thin steel shim stock? Anything else work as well or better? Thanks for any feedback.

    Buffing a Tung Oil finish with steel wool????

    On several projects lately I have been using Behr Scandinavian Tung Oil finish. From my research it is a Tung oil, other oils and varnish blend. At $6.00 a quart it was a lot cheaper than mixing my own brew. It recommends buffing the last application with 4/0 steel wool. I have heard of applying...

    Round steel stock for Oland tool

    Part of the legacy my father left me was the collecting habits of Fred Sanford, and the engineering abilities of Rube Goldberg coupled with the "making do with what's you got" inventiveness of Red Green. In several threads recently members have mentioned difficulty in finding mild steel round...

    small pieces of thick steel plate

    I need a couple of small pieces of 1.25" or so thick steel plate. By small I mean really smalll - 3" x 2" and 2" x 2". They need dead flat parallel faces. EDIT - Oh yeah - Cary/Apex/Raleigh area.

    Need a few panels of steel roofing, or something similar. Nothing fancy, just need to build a Guinea Hen coop sometime in the next couple months and thought I'd start scrounging. Something like this is the plan:

    Hacksaw blade for spring steel ?

    I'm trying to cut a modern handsaw blade into pieces (to make other tools) but I'm not having good luck using the bimetal recip or 'regular' hacksaw blades I have on hand. The handsaw steel just rapidly wears the teeth right off the cutting tools - even using a bit of cutting oil. Should I be...

    Source for tinned steel (i.e., "tin")

    I'm trying to find sheets of tin for making a dust collector cyclone. Ages ago (high school) I used to do some tinsmithing at Old Salem, and we had both hot-dipped and electroplated. I figure it would be good to use for a dust collector since tin is easy to cut and solder, but I can't find a...

    I have a friend that asked me if I knew anything about this brand of tools. I told him I didn't but would see if anyone on the board knows. The story he was told was a couple of Delta employees were fed up with Delta and started their own company. Don't know more than that. Anyone know...
