Post: RE: Uses for radial arm saw
They are nice for making crosscut dadoes. Ripping cuts scare the crap out of me. Set up time can be a little longer, but repeat cuts when you can see your stock goes easier IMO. I agree with han...

Does anyone have experience with the PSI duplicator? Looking at making a chess set. Templates will be provided a friend who will finish carving them. All said and done I keep the duplicator.

Capacitor is probably gone. Turn the switch on and lift the arm and let it drop. See if it runs with a kick start.

Get some JB Weld. Use a small pick to force it into the threads. Put wax on a 1\4-20 bolt and chase the threads. Back the bolt out and allow the JB to dry. Problem solved.
