    That's an awesome display Dan. A large area too. I wish I had known about the show. I might have ventured north and visited. Maybe next time.

    Thanks. I appreciate your input. I've lightly coated it with Watco natural and will let it sit outdoors for a few days. I'm not in a big hurry so it can wait.

    I just found this one on Amazon. It looks like it will fill the bill. https://www.amazon.com/Jet-561706-TDC-501-Taper-Mount/dp/B0007XXI86/ref=pd_bxgy_1/138-0642384-6364469?pd_rd_w=N3fWf&pf_rd_p=c64372fa-c41c-422e-990d-9e034f73989b&pf_rd_r=PZGZY5R1H934C13MZCKF&pd_rd_r=93e4aa9d-4363-4767-8300-7f71dfb9ea34&pd_rd_wg=AfVwe&pd_rd_i=B0007XXI86&psc=1#

    I'm looking for that info right now.

    I've read here on the Village that some folks have better drill press chucks that will close down to zero. I'm hoping to find one of those that will fit my drill press.
  6. OCtoolguy
    Can you tell me more about the micro chuck? I'm looking at Amazon right now but not finding what I want.
  7. OCtoolguy
    I have numbers 56-60 and use the #58 the most. My problem is that I bought a 3 jaw adapter for my drill press and I can't get the bit to "center" in the chuck. My drill press is pretty tight so I know the problem is the tiny chuck. Any advice? I get pretty good job from my Dremel plunge router but it spins so fast it burns up the bits. If I slow it down, it has no power.

    Was it an inch thick? I'm stack cutting 4 layers.
  9. OCtoolguy
    It's almost done. Only 30 more cuts.

    Every project is different for me. What I'm doing now is 1/2 and 3/4" oak but the one before it was 1/4" BB. My next one is stacked 4 high 1/4" hickory. Boy is that stuff hard. But it's working out great so far.

    Thanks Kevin. I brushed it on but not in large amounts. I knew it was going to soak up a lot if I dunked it so I just brushed it on and waited a few minutes and then wiped off as much as I could. It'll air dry now for 3 days and we'll see at that point.

    I was thinking jelly beans. I love jelly beans. I just bought 7 pounds of them today on Amazon. I did go ahead and put a coat of Watcos on it and now I'll have to wait a few days before shooting the poly. It sure brought out the red in the red oak. Looks good though.

    Another source for Pegas blades that I have used with good service is Qtena.com. They are close to where I live so the service is fast but I'm not sure about their pricing at this time. I've switched my business to Denny Knappen.

    Hey Kevin, since you brought up Bushton's, when I bought that 226 Ultra, it came with 2 gross of #5 blades marked with the RBI brand name. Any idea who made them? Are they something that I might get some use out of?
  15. OCtoolguy
    One of our members here is a retailer for Pegas. Artcraftersonline.com. You will get excellent service and the best pricing. He also will break down gross quantities and still give you gross pricing. Over $35 free shipping. You can't go wrong.

    I wish there was a way to delete this once I get my answer but maybe someone else will benefit from it at a later time. As most of you know, I'm working on an oak dried flower vase for a customer. She wants it "unstained" and I take that to mean "natural". So my question is, if I was to apply a coat of Watco Danish oil in natural and let it dry well is it ok to spray a couple of coats of Minwax polyurethane over the oil? Or would it be better to just apply the poly without the oil? I know the oil will make the grain more prominent so I was thinking of doing that first. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. But please, don't confuse me any more than I already am. Thanks all.

    It's an experimentation thing. I had to do it with the saw off. I placed a small block behind the saw blade and used a screwdriver to cycle the armature while watching to see what way the gap went. I actually removed the 3 screws until I found the best position.
  18. OCtoolguy
    Have you tried adjusting the "agression" out of your new saw by loosening the motor and turning it to get the blade perpendicular to the table. It's a known fact that your saw is the same as the EX's and they have that adjustment.

    Those wireless controllers for Christmas lights are 15 amp rated and work great for turning stuff on & off. I use one for lots of things. They are cheap.
  20. OCtoolguy
    That's great! Glad you did well.

    Ok, I gotta ask, what's a Longaberger basket? Never mind, I did a search and found their site. Nice stuff.

    We loved visiting Shipshewana while we were out on the road. Great place to just nose around and have a meal.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Not sure whether you just made a typo here or in your search. It's a 571-5 and I found lots of parts diagrams for it. The brushes seem to be encased inside of a plastic housing that covers the motor and houses the electricals.

    I just got an order for this one. I'm charging $100, including materials. She will also pay the shipping and handling. Custom order so it took me some time to draw up the plans. A lot of time to sand it. The cutting part is the fun. The rest is just work.
  25. OCtoolguy
    No, but now I will. Thanks.
