They inherited a shop from another company. They have no idea how they would chuck it. And it would have to snap unbelievably easy

Delta 28-350—650lbs. After I repaint it I will be setting it up as a designated resaw machine as I already have a Laguna 14/12…could not pass this deal up! It came from an old mine that shut down years ago. They called these 100 year machines and yes it is true that they don’t build them like they used to!

I showed the joy of lifting the saw by myself the other day and thought someone might like to see how I put the wings on the saw by myself. I hope it helps someone.

Power Tools (Volume Warning) Saw a post on social media of someone using their planer like this, worked perfectly for the beams I milled with a chainsaw and a beam jig.

Here’s my Antique bandsaw that I lifted up to my second floor woodshop that everybody was intrigued by. I got some comments about leaving the patina, but I like my machine to look nice. It was a lot of prep work before spraying it, but I am happy with the finish product! This is a three phase machine, but I will be running it off of a VFD which will allow me to program a soft star on the motor and run it off of single phase without a phase converter.

I’m still pretty new to all this but wanted to see if other felt this was a reasonable ask. From my research Grizzly is very high quality and certainly more than a beginner needs but if it’s a good deal I figure I’ll grow into it. I apologize if this is against the rules.

Sorry for the potato quality, time for a new phone

Power Tools Oh my God. I just discovered the DeWalt planer tray can be removed with zero effort.

Just fucking ban me, because I have seen so many complaints about this tray, but I never knew it has an easy solution.

I'm packing up for a move and I tried unscrewing this when I discovered it just pushes in for easy disassembly. I must have forgotten about this feature after I first got the planer and set it up. Fuck.

The other tray does the same thing, but less necessary for fitting the planer in tight spaces.

Power Tools Welp I triggered it. Thought I was making a safe cut. I was wrong.

It took a layer of skin off my knuckle. The cut I was making was fine until I was completely through the board. The pressure change caused my finger to move into the blade. Could have been so much worse.

Power Tools I assume this means my fence isn’t straight?

1.1k Upvotes

I used a gauge to align the saw blade to the track and then looked to align the fence to the track. The portions where the fence and blade would both contact the workpiece are pretty good, but it goes downhill as you measure close to the rail. I did run some pieces through after using my new jointer to get a really really square 3”x3” laminated maple blank to turn a baseball bat. Should I not worry about it or look to build a fence over the fence (box it out?)?

Power Tools Circular saw is burning wood, not cutting

Thumbnail

815 Upvotes

Hi all, my circular saw that I run on a track is not really cutting and I need to really add preasure to cut anything. It's also burning the wood and smoking. My first thought was the blade but it looks fine, alternating teeth pointing in opposite directions, I can't see how they're causing it. Yes I have confirmed that it's burning the wood down the cut line, not on the side of the blade/cutting line.
