John, is that the biggest crosscut sled I've ever seen leaning against the wall behind your SS??

Re: Woodriver mortising attachment fit?

It's the attachment at the quill, it comes with a couple split spacers that go around the quill then fit into the chisel holder, but they aren't the right inside diameter. I'll try to post some pics later.

Woodriver mortising attachment fit?

I picked up a Woodriver mortising attachment a while back for use on another drill press (that died). Tried to fit it on the Shopsmith, couldnt' get it to mount properly. Anyone have one of these attched to the Shopsmith drill press?

thanks,
wes

Re: Help - jointer spinning freely

You gentlemen had it right. It was the metal drive hub slipping on the shaft. The setscrew backed out just enough to allow it to spin. It was jammed up into the plastic power coupler so I didn’t have a chance to check it last night, ran out of time in the shop. Took about two minutes to fix this mor...

Help - jointer spinning freely

Hello all! Was rocking along with my 520 getting a lot of work done on a new workbench I’m building. I was jointing some pine boards when the jointer stopped spinning under load. Headstock still spins fine and sounds great when I disconnected it. It will spin the jointer but once any load is placed ...

Re: Older Vs Newer Bandsaw

Ed, that's genius, although it did lead to a Homer Simpson 'doh!' when I saw the pics. :) It'll be very handy to be able to use the same miter gauge on both saw tables. I'll work on this solution tonight.

Nice work!

thanks again,
wes

Re: Older Vs Newer Bandsaw

That's what I was wondering. The rotating washer sounds like a great idea, any pics of that solution?

Re: Older Vs Newer Bandsaw

Thanks a bunch, Ed - very creative solution!

Another quick question, the miter gauge that fits the tablesaw doesn't seem to fit the ci table for the bandsaw. Am I missing a separate miter gauge that belongs to the bandsaw table?

Re: Jointer fence angles up??

Yep, saw that the upper part of the clamp was angled upward. Dennis, did you try to heat it up or just squeeze it in the vise cold? Hate to break it...
