    Any advise in purchasing/ setting up a VFD?

    Hey folks, My "arn" collection grew a bit over the weekend to include a nice 1964 Powermatic PM65 cabinet saw....complete w/ (2)-3' cast iron extension wings. The seller described the motor as being a "newer 2HP, 3PH", so my original plan was to find a 2-3HP 1PH motor and swap it out. Upon...

    jointer knife setting jig

    this was my first time changing jointer knives. Rather than buy/use a jointer pal or one-way jig, I came across a thread or two mentioning an easy to build (i.e. cheap) variation on this theme using glass and some magnets. I'm sure others have seen this or similar. I used some 3/32" thick...

    Setting up shop

    After nearly 5 years in this house, the garage has turned into nothing but a catch all for clutter. Unusable for anything but the occasional small project, unorganized, etc... I picked up a delta table saw to replace my old craftsman and that sparked the need to finally completely setup shop...

    Help setting the blade in Stanley Bailey #4 plane!!

    I was given an old Stanley Bailey #4 plane recently (with the ridges in the sole). The trouble is that I can't get the iron to sit in the mouth properly. With the bevel down the iron will sit flush with the front of the mouth which won't allow the shavings to come through the sole. I have...

    setting a lousy fence with high accuracy

    Don't do this: Do this: That's my $6 HF caliper, but a more expensive one may work just as well :rolf:. Put the fence tight against the blade, measure over both (be sure you are over the teeth if the tips have overhang) and zero the caliper. Now move the fence slowly out to the size you...

    Help setting up a PM2000

    I was able to follow the directions and get the saw together. However since this is my first "real" table saw I'm not sure how exact I need to get the part in-line. I put a straight edge to the table and it does not look perfect. This could be a result of the straight edge, saw-top or both...

    I'm getting ready to do the dreaded knife changing on my jointer. I have read that the knives need to be the same height as the outfeed table and I have also read that they need to be lower than the outfeed table. Which is best? Also do both ends of the knives need to be exactly the same...
