On my pegas clamps I sometimes have reset the set screw so the blade clamp will work. The set screw moves out over time, I just haven't got around to using some loctite so it doesn't unscrew itself.
-
I have the pegas blade holder on my Delta it's a vast improvement over the standard blade holders. To me it's an obvious decision.

Never Trying A Puzzle Made Of Hickory Again

I can't believe you had problems with such a soft wood.(lol) -
It is an issue with almost all Dewalt, Delta, Excalibur type saws. The potentiometer just doesn't work the way it's designed to. I don't if it's the circuit board or the speed control. Find a sweet spot and leave it there.

Incredible workmanship! I put that issue of Woodsmith in my file cabinet. Now I will have to bring it back out and make the steam engine. The school I taught at the mascot is the Railroaders and the city was founded by the B&O. Just what Need another project. I hope mine turns out half as nice.

Wow, what an awesome talent and incredible models. I bet he had no problem being on the stay at home order.

You will not like Tennessee because your commute from home to anywhere won't be long enough to remind you of California. My daughter has lived in Fayetteville area for several years and it is a beautiful state. Good luck on your move!

That's approximately $4.00 a bdft cheaper than my store price. So you saved about$25.50. Great find!
-
Sounds like an awesome fix except for the potential cost. Good luck!

I have an extra craftsman motor from that age if you lived in the area instead couple of thousand miles away it would be yours for pickup.

I don't know about the riser. But unless your going to resaw often you more than likely not need the extra height. I have a dedicated bandsaw and rarely saw more than 6" for resawing. The only time I have used the full capacity was to cut logs in half for bowl blanks.

I have a 1/2" carbide tip blade for resawing and it is fantastic. I purchased it from Highland Woodworking. I see getting at least 3or4 years use out of it. I am on year 3 and still going strong.

I purchased the 4x24 Triton belt sander today. I need it for a farmhouse table my daughter wants made. I was all set to buy it from my local woodworking store but they have curbside delivery and wouldn't take cash. So I saved $8 and ordered it on Amazon. You try to buy local and pay a little extra and they didn't want my cash. So if I had to use a credit card might as save money because I will have it to use before they open backup.

I have a Rikon 14" deluxe with a 1/2" blade the does a great job resawing. I resaw it then sand it with my drum sander or plane it. I can get the wood down to .075 or less with this method. The thinner wood I use for bands when making shaker oval boxes.
-
If your set on a belt sander Triton has one that you can clamp upside down as an added feature. When Johnson's Workbench opens backup check them out. I need a new belt sander and that's the one I am going to buy. I just need to do a few blog entries on woodworking for the local woodworking store to get a $25 gift certificate for each one. Since the lockdown they have not been able to offer Saturday morning demonstrations. The demonstrations is how I picked up $50 dollar gift certificates, so I guess I will have do the blogs.

Sometimes you have to tell on yourself

Will that would be something a person from Winchester would do(lol). My uncle grew up in Winchester and he did stuff like that. All kidding aside I plugged the cyclone on my dust collector and didn't realize it until I had to start ducking chips coming out of the planer. -
Everybody ready for a new gadget? Here ya go!
Woodmaster1 replied to OCtoolguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I installed micro switched blast gates and the dust collector only runs when a blast gate is open. I had a remote system but got tired being a contortionist for the remote to activate the dust collector. -

I installed one on my garbage disposal. It's easy to install and works great. You plug it in to an outlet and plug in what you want to control, run the tubing and push button to desired location. -
Carter products web site. I only paid $79 for the stabilizer. It is a single bearing you put on the upper guide and you remove the bottom guide. It is for 1/4" or less blades. I use an 1/8" blade with no issues. If you get one make sure you get the model for your brand of bandsaw. They have replacement guide sets but for my needs the stabilizer all I need.

It’s amazing what will do to entertain ourselves when we’re bored. Hopefully they will ease up on the restrictions. My state is taking a 5 step approach. I just wish people would respect others a wear a mask. My wife doesn’t want to leave the house very often. With her lung problems she is scared she will get it.

I have the rikon 10-325 14” deluxe bandsaw. It will resaw up to 13”. I have the upgraded blade guides and a carbide tip resaw blade and it does an awesome job. I use it just for resawing . I have a porter cable with a carter stabilizer and an 1/8” blade. Keep the delta put a carter stabilizer on it and buy the rikon for resawing.

I will have to ask my son to pick me up a gallon when he goes to work at Dollar Tree.

I am glad I retired so I didn't have to do shop class online. I know my replacement has built a shed step by step online. They have also setup zoom for group instruction. Good luck with online instruction.
-
I use a padded shop stool from craftsman for new Delta and an office chair for the old Delt on a stand made from a Steve Carmichael plan. My picture wouldn't load for the Old Delta stand. It could be used on the Dewalt style scroll saws.

I have one just like it and the book as well. I loaned mine to my brother in law because I didn't need it as much as I needed the space. Mine cost me $50 15 years ago. Nice find and great job on bringing it back to life.
