Thread: SAWSTOP: Tripped the Brake Cartridge: UPDATE
Post: RE: SAWSTOP: Tripped the Brake Cartridge: UPDATE
Felder will give Sawstop lots of competition . Why destroy a blade and cartridge if you don't have too? Will be glad when Felder and Altendorf put their technology on cabinet saws.. |

I've got the G1033, plane w/ knives. Very reliable.
BTW, castings are identical to PM, Jet.
With a spiral head, you'll have a nice planer.

Thread: Water Wheel Sharpeners (Tormek)
Post: RE: Water Wheel Sharpeners (Tormek)
A 50-50 mix of acetone and brake fluid is the best to get rusty bolts or nuts loose. Put them in a spray bottle. You have to shake it as they will separate after sitting. |
