For the motor remove the belt and see what it feels like when you rotate it by hand. Then turn it on and listen to the motor. If no louder than a router you can probably eliminate it. Before putting the belt back on rotate the cutterhead by hand and see if you can feel any roughness or drag etc...

Just when I think you've peaked you show you've climbed higher. I suppose suggesting the Hindenburg using a torch would be in bad taste. 🔥 Pete

Just 90º hook latch. If you can't do the º then write it out, degree. Pete

I searched 90º hook latches and quite a few came up...

Build it like it is a wall. Plate top and bottom with studs (North American terms) between and clad with OSB/Plywood. Treated wood and plywood will make it last longer. You can make it any height you want and or are allowed to, plus it can be insulated. Pete

Great thread! Whatever you charge it should be more. Pete

Wire strip flap brush is about as close as I can get...

Paul woodworking shows and events are pretty much history. Online stores started the downfall and Covid finished the last few off. Bigger cities usually have a brick and mortar store or two like Lee Valley and the Borg stores/lumberyards have construction style tools. Pete

Bearings? Either motor or cutter head. Pete

I suppose the cell tower system can be used along with GPS etc. I'll be happy to have a self driving car once they can make them work in all weather since by then I'll be an old git that shouldn't be driving and it'll be the only way I'll be able to get around. 😉 Pete

Geoff that is something I had never seen before. I assumed it worked off data Google earth supplied with their camera mounted cars that make the rounds of the roads periodically. Like I said it was also on the mapping system my older truck had built in that wasn't using the phone. If they wanted...

The watch vibrates the same as when you get a message, email or you have a fall. When you look at it you see the warning. You can dismiss it for an hour or the rest of the day if wearing protection or get out of the situation if not. Mine goes off every time I use the string trimer, push mower...

The technology exists to limit speeds wherever the vehicle happens to be and could be reset to reflect deteriorating conditions. I use my iPhone map app as my navigation and when driving it shows the posted speed I should be observing as I drive. My older truck (2015 Nissan) did the same. It...

You should look into the option before buying new rollers because it might be much cheaper than the replacements. An example. Makita planer jointer rollers are approaching $500Cad for a pair from Makita. Having them reconditioned is under $300Cad. Pete

I wonder how these perform in areas with deep frost? Foundations, ground screws, piles etc here have to go down to 10'/3m to be approved for building.

Appreciate that Micheal but I am in Canada so having one shipped here might hurt a little. What I meant was will they be sold by the retailers here in Canada? There are at least two sellers in our little city of Saskatoon. Pete

Are the Euro model fences going to be available here for purchase? If so I'll buy one. Pete

Tom I searched out your video and the guy never said what SawStop told him. He also never mentioned if the gap between the blade and cartridge set properly. He is also using a blade with chip limiting teeth which SawStop specifically recommends against using. They slow down the braking action...

You are reading something into what I said that escapes me. If you are referring to checking the brake gap it is because the gap has to be within a range so the time to engagement isn't longer or if the gap is too close and the blade touches the brake it might activate when turned on. It...

You're welcome. Mine is older and black. A phenolic material of some kind. Hard, smooth and dimensionally stable. I think the newer are the same, just red for safety to hopefully remind people they are near the blade. If a round trip into town to look at one wouldn't take an hour or hour and a...
