    Setting up and tuning a ridgid 14" bandsaw

    I bought my saw in early 2006 on a closeout, and moved to NC and packed it in a shed. Earlier this month I started setting up my TINY shop, and it was time to set up the bandsaw. After my initial assessment, I finished putting it all together per the manual, and found the yellow safety key...

    Miter Saw Help Needed

    Miter saw help, please. I’m stumped. My Delta 36-225 10” compound (non-sliding) miter saw, equipped with sharp Freud LU85 is producing 90-dgree cuts that are crowned. What I’m calling a crown amounts to a cut that curves ever-so slightly outwards from the edge closest to the fence, reversing its...

    tuning a drill press question

    I was given this drill press and haven't really used it much. The wheels on the base are very hard to maneuver and I always feel like its about to tip over when I move it. I wan't to build a new base for it but there is something out of alignment with the drill press and am wondering if its...

    Questions on fine tuning my table saw

    Here is the story. I realized that I was not getting anything close to sq out of a cut on my tablesaw and spent time last weekend aligning the table fence and blade. Things got no better. I discovered however that the saw was not the problem, my Incra 1000 was out of square. In fact, it took...

    Help Tuning a Plane...

    Hey folks -- I picked up a Sargent Hercules (c. ~1950) smoothing plane at a flea market 2 weeks ago and I need some help tuning it. I have researched the process and understand it well, but with such a nice tool I don't want to lay untrained hands on it. Could anyone in the triangle area...

    Jointer Tuning help

    Hey folks, I haven't tried it yet since I moved, still need to set it up and give it a try. However in my recent house moves, my Delta 6in jointer is giving me fits, I'm guessing I have some table sag and need some adjustments outside my expertise. It was moved set up versus boxed and packed...

    Bandsaw tuning needed? Help!

    Hi Everyone. At this moment, I am very frustrated. Nothing seems to be going right in the shop today and I have a lot to get done :BangHead: The worst is this piece of wood: It is a piece of Mopani that I tried to resaw off of a 3'' thick 6''x6'' block. I thought I had the bandsaw tuned...

    Zero tolerance insert fine tuning

    I just put the zero tolerance insert in my table saw and it won't sit flat. I can get the front flush with the top of the table but, the back left is low and if I bring it up flush then the front sits high and doesn't even touch. This is the Craftsman 10' that had the rusty top. My question...

    Tuning Up Old Planes

    In an earlier post, I mentioned that my brother had sent me some old planes that he had found in his barn that belonged to my grandfather. I am in the process of tuning them up as best I can. I have polished the sole of some of them; removed some of the surface rust with WD-40, Scotchbrite pads...

    Fine tuning a table saw

    Does anybody have one of these: From woodcraft it's $60 for the basic kit or $155 with all the bells and whistles. I'd like a way to measure runnout on my saw, not to mention aligning the top with the blade once I re-install it. Would I be just as well off with the $6 dial indicator from...
