Yep TDC as set up by a dial indicator gauge and then reconfirmed after setting all 3 blades. Really does speed up changeovers!

After having refurbed and played around with 4 Shopsmith planers now. 2 pro and 2 non-pro. One pro in similar situation of not having had the key in place with significant damage to the key way due to overaggressive set screw tightening where the key should have gone. I actually hand milled the key ...

Great little project! I love my Thein baffle and it captures a lot of stuff. At least for my high flow CFM, low pressure Dust collector, it must capture close to 99% of the dust before it ever reaches the filter.

I think the manual lays out a great plan of action for setting the jointer blades, but it can be a bit more time consuming than I like so I just built a handy little jig for it.

As mentioned, you would ideally purchase a high flow/low pressure dust collector system to work with the SS vs. something like a festool dust extractor. It will work to a ce...

I have an an opportunity to pick up a like new Festool CT-46-E dust collector for $300.00 bucks. Can someone give a clue if this unit would suffice for limited use with SS equipment?? Right now I am using a Craftsman shop vac. Don G I really hope you went for it Don! That is an exceptional deal tha...
