    Check this out. $400 sounds like a fairly good price. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/198903467361846

    YOu should be able to find one on Amazon. All you need to know is the size of the threads you want to replace. Or change to. R

    Hi all, I have been wanting to try my hand at making a bowl but I have no way to clamp the pieces together. I have seen bowl clamps on a couple of the youtube videos but I have not been able to find any plans for making one. I know it's a simple design but I was wondering if there are different designs. I'd like to make something that would be compatible with bowls from about 3.5" up to maybe 8". The ones I have seen were nothing but a couple of flat round boards with a series of bolts around the outer perimeter. Nothing fancy but I like to look at pics before performing my miracles. So, anybody got any pics or plans? Thanks in advance...... Ray

    After doing this, you'll probably never have to do it again. Did you use some thread locker on the helicoil? More than likely, it will never fail. R

    I built a stand for my Dewalt and incorporated a top with hinges in the front. I just use a sliding block under it to put the top at whatever angle I like. Once I determine the angle I like, I will problem just put a spacer block in and screw it down. R

    There is a huge difference between being "tight" and being "stupid". R

    I actually got the idea after reading how much trouble you were having in identifying what you got. They didn't have any exotics when I ordered so all this stuff is domestic. But, it sure is nice knowing what they all are. I have never even seen alder before but now I have a bunch of it. Nice stuff too. R

    Check out their website. They don't even offer 24" x 24" in 1/4". R

    Just for the heck of it, I just went to their site and ordered 8 pieces 1/4" x 12" x 24". They don't offer it in the same size as that add so I just doubled the order to get the same board footage. It was $10 each but because I was ordering 8, I got it for $8 each. Free shipping to my home in So Cal. $80 total. Something doesn't make sense in that ad. R

    Just for the sake of saying, isn't BB usually sold in 5' x 5' panels? At that rate, they are sending a very odd sizing. Or am I wrong? Also, I see that they ship it from the U.S. to anywhere in NZ. Most of that cost has to be in the shipping and import fees. R

    When I install a blade in my Dewalt, I put it in the bottom clamp first. Then I pull down on the top arm so that all the slack is out of it. Tighten the blade clamp. Then, tension it. I usually have mine set at about 4 or so depending on the size of the blade. It sounds like you're not getting the slack out of the arms/mechanism prior to tightening the top clamp. The same goes for when I loosen the top clamp to put the blade through the next entry hole. Then do the process all over again. If this doesn't cure your problem, then it's time to take the saw apart. R

    That and the fact there are not many trees in Antartica. R

    I have to post this. I just received my shipment of woods from Ocooch Hardwoods. When I place my order I asked them if it wouldn't be too much trouble if they would include a list of what woods they were sending. They not only did what I asked, they took the time to actually label each piece as to what it is. Not every piece actually but I am now able to compare the none labeled pieces to the ones with labels. This is a first class operation. I will be buying from them again. I highly recommend this company. Thanks to the OP who originally spoke of them. Ray

    This wood was grown in a mushroom forest in Tasmania. And milled by gnomes. R

    I am curious too. What exactly is the problem you are having? Did it start suddenly or come on slowly? It's a very simple mechanism so it can't be anything to bad. Did you make sure when you put the case halves back together that you got the plate back in the slots where the wedge moves against it? If that is all correct, then it's just a matter of going in to the front part where the tension lever is and doing an adjustment on the pull rod. Very easy stuff. Make sure when you put it back together that you get the bushing on the end of the pull rod seated into the tension lever housing. Nothing else to go wrong. R

    Why not free up some money and sell it. They go fast if you price it right. R

    Harbor Freight has one for about $40 that comes with either a clamp bracket or the post for the Hegner mount.

    Thanks Dan. I never knew that was there. Now, I can spend the rest of the day doing different searches. I love it. R
  20. OCtoolguy
    Yes, Thanks to all. R
  21. OCtoolguy
    That sounds like a great idea for any of us just starting out. Thanks. R
  22. OCtoolguy
    I was just in contact with Travis and it may come to pass. If anybody else thinks it's a good idea, please let Travis know. So far I have been contacted by 4 or 5 Hegner owners so it might be a small group. R

    Kevin, what you are talking about would be for a Dremel or similar mini tool. I'm wanting something bigger with at least a 1/4" shaft. R

    That was not my intent. It has nothing to do with hijacking threads. I just thought it might be nice to create a group of like minded folks. Sort of like a group of stamp collectors wanting to separate from cooks and recipes. I guess I might have been expecting too much. R

    It has come to my attention that I may have offended a member here so please disregard my original topic. It will not be followed up. Sorry but it's not worth offending anybody. Ray
