WD40 is very corrosive. Never use it on firearms. Spray a pad of 4 0 steel wool and lay it outside. It will disappear.

Thanks, I'll just have to figure it out. It's not rocket science.

I'm old-fashioned. I still use a light oil like 3n1 but my favorite is still Howes. I use it very sparingly though. I used synthetic grease on all the many needle bearings.

I've looked at all the pics included in your original post but don't understand what part was bound up. You reference a number in the diagram but there was no diagram included. Can you maybe post something. I have two of these clamps and would like to know what part you had a problem with. Thanks for all your info.

The spring is only there to apply return tension to the lever. Blade tension is applied through the cam action of the lever.

Thanks Rolf. There are so many to choose from and they all seem to have different things that I like or don't like. This one looks pretty neat. Sort of marries you to Kreg accessories though. Not a bad thing. I like most of their stuff.

After everything the Earth has been through over the millennia, I think it will do just fine. At the worst, it will be The Earth and plastic bags. LOL. Thanks George Carlin.

Rolf, what is your bench? I've been thinking of buying a portable work area. I have one of the original WorkMates but it's not always the right tool for the job.

As to the environmental/ecological aspect, remember that EVERYTHING is either grown or mined from the earth. No getting around that.

They have bought out several cattle farms in my area and have been making the fields into solar farms and making a mess of the fields.. be interesting how the snow or hail will affect these. Sad to see what was crop fields and now all you see is rows and rows of solar panels.. don't get me wrong they may have a small place for if a homeowner would like to sub some alternative energy more power to them.. but ruining farmlands to do this just doesn't seem all that smart to me. This is probably getting too much into political talk but I've not been a supporter of this electric car push or the solar and wind farms.. I don't know a much about these things but hear that the solar panels are bad for the environment.. maybe they'll circle back after my time is gone and realize this was a bad idea.. tax the people again to clean up the land and mess they made and go back to nuclear power plants or coal.. I'd be curious what many people that know way more than I really think about this stuff.. This site probably not the place for discussion as it'd likely turn too politics in the process.. I'd be open to hear anyones thoughts in a PM on some of this stuff push for the direction they're taking our kids too though. The electric cars are pretty dangerous for the firefighters for not only the fire hazards but also electrocution in car crashes and the firefighters having to cut people out of a car is pretty bad stuff to mess with.. especially if it's in the rain, snow etc.. I guess I just see them as way more dangerous and hazardous.. not to mention what happens to all these batteries in 20+ years.. maybe they've got this all thought out but also seems like bad ideas to me.. Wonder what the health effects are of the self charging roads they're making in in Michigan.. I heard they was building a electric road that somehow charges the car as you drive on it or something.. and here they talk about cell phones causing cancers etc.. Just what we need is more of this garbage to ruin the human population.. Without being political, it ain't gonna work. They already are realizing that they should have stayed with nuclear and clean burning coal and natural gas. The power demands of the A.I. computer farms will far exceed what they can get from solar/wind generation. Not to mention what happens if we have a few weeks of cold foul weather. Of course there is also darkness for about half the day too.

Not a jab at all. You are far smarter than I will ever be. I prove my lack of knowledge on a daily basis. Just ask my wife.

I humbly bow to your superior knowledge JT.

You misunderstood. I would be sad to lose you. I am still very sad over losing Rockytime and Scrollsaw703 but it's life. Congrats on your great family.

I bought 4 of the HF 48" overhead shop lights that were prior to the ones that could be daisy chained. I have 2 on each side of my small shop. I turn 2 of them off at times because of their brightness. But I've never experienced any kind of "blue light" syndrome. I do like having plenty of light when working or reading or ???. I could never go back to the flourescent bulbs again. I have 2 of the LED worklights for my scrollsaws.

Better light and longer life. It will be the last one you will buy.

Paul, it should just be a "plug n play". I ordered the bulb on Amazon and bingo, it was in and working.

The arm doesn't move.

I've always questioned the tension method on my EX's too. If I left the rear knob at the same spot when going from a 5 to a 1 or 2 mgt. As soon as I'd flip the lever the blade would break. So I had to back the knob off a 1/4 turn or so.

Frank, can you offer any info on your magnetic light? I've seen a few that magnetically mount to the sides of the upper arm. It seems like they were for sewing machines or something like that. About $10-15 ea. Can you maybe show a pic?

Adios!

Are referring to a "green Excalibur"? If so, what was the problem with it? I have 2 of them and no problems at all.

I was amazed at how much dust my box fan collected with just a cheapie furnace filter.

I can see many ingenious ways to release that pin without reaching. A cable with pulleys comes to mind.

50 minutes ago, Mike Crosa said: Kevin I had vertigo and a good therapist and believe it or not You Tube helped me a lot. Prior to seeing the therapist I did some exercises for this at home based on the youtube. When I went to see him I had been cured. So don't despair with vertigo, it is treatable. My wife did the same. An easy procedure that stopped the vertigo.

I was going to ask just what you needed a user manual for. They are a simple device. Ask specific questions and you will get answers here.
