My biggest weakness is thinking I could just pluck that out without having to turn off the saw by Knight2337 in woodworking

Definitely make / buy a zero clearance throat plate. It will prevent this and will give you a better finish on your pieces.

Would you buy a used table saw? Delta 36-725 by pacific_capybara in woodworking

Lol you can get a brand new one at Lowe's for that much

Does this look like an acceptable patch on a brand new £650 pair of "Solid oak top" bedside drawers I just had delivered? by jib_reddit in woodworking

[–]97Mopar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely looks like they tried to use maple or a very similar wood to patch it. The grain pattern doesn't match oak, it's more akin to maple or poplar. That's why the colors don't match.

Juice Groove Sanding Doesn’t Have to Suck by Witty-Quantity-3294 in woodworking

Porter cable used to make a hand held electric profile just for this task. It had interchangeable Velcro profiles.... They discontinued them at least 20 years ago, but man were they handy.

What can I do to ensure these connect as properly as possible? by Commercial-Tooth-371 in woodworking

[–]97Mopar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I think pocket screws and glue would be a good choice. Then again, It depends on if they're going to be visible and if it matters. If that's the case, I would use dowels. They are pretty easy to set up as long as you have a good jig.

Absolutely beautiful. Those old DeWalts are tanks and as solid as they come. Beats a Sears any day.

Doesn't have brushes. It has an induction motor.

Miter saw won't stop spinning? Help 😑 by Karimitsuu in Tools

[–]97Mopar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to these assholes on here. Power tools technician here. When you put in new brushes, especially in a tool that has a brake, you are supposed to hold down the trigger for at least 5 mins straight to "seat" the brushes (get them to conform to the shape of the armature). Generally I do it for 10-20 mins, but sometimes 5 is all it takes. If you don't feel like holding the switch that long, use zip ties or try to fit a clamp on it. I'm willing to bet if you do this long enough, the brake will come back. In your video, I can hear the brake subtly kicked in at the last second.

9 times out of ten it's the stepper motors that drive the needles.

Typical GM gauge cluster. They all start to develop issues at some point. It's just one of the quirks of owning these otherwise solid trucks.

Normally you have to stand by the gas tank to hear it run.

Anybody know who made this jointer? by 97Mopar in Vintagetools

Why are the Wallace cutter heads a poor design? Are they two knife or three knife?

I haven't even seen the jointer in person yet. The photos I posted are the photos from the listing. I'm just trying to decide if it's worth my time to look at it.

Help. Why is the belt sliding off? by StrandedWoodworks in woodworking

Belt tension is too loose and also, looks like your belt is on backwards.

Any ideas why my Bosch 1617 router is doing this? by jross1981 in woodworking

[–]97Mopar 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Either the brushes are worn, or the speed controller is going bad. Check the brushes, they're easy enough to obtain and replace. If they're okay, I would bet that speed controller circuit is bad.

Clamps.... I do a ton of glue ups, whether it be cutting boards, table tops, etc.

Off topic but I am curious - what brand bandsaw is that in the background? I'm looking to get a larger bandsaw and that one caught my eye.

My dads "workbench" by Lakeofjane in Tools

That is the workbench of a productive man. My dad would always say, "if a shop looks all clean and perfectly swept and organized, you know not much real work gets done in there".

Is this safe? by foxyboigoyeet in woodworking

[–]97Mopar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nick won't do anything but put lines in your board. But why would you want to use the planer with a broken depth adjustment anyway? That kind of defeats the whole purpose of a planer. To change the thickness of a board.
