I am having problems with my blade tracking. I can get it dialed in (centered on the tire), then once I release the quick tension lever, then reapply the tension, the blade jumps forward about 1/4" when it is turned on. I have also kept the blade tensioning on. When I start it up the next...

Greetings and salutations LumberJocks! Last year, I wrote regarding several issues I was having with my Kobalt 10" Sliding Compound Miter Saw. I have a new one now thanks to Kobalt's no-questions-asked 3 year full warranty. The saw was two years old, I went onto Lowe's and walked out 10 minutes...

Hi guys, i just bought a very expensive table saw and after setting it up i realized it has a very unacceptable issue. I was trying to allign the blade to the miter slots when i noticed that as i raised the blade the back part of the blade would shift to the right out of parralel with the slots...

I recently finished a segmented wood urn and when I was applying the last coat of finish, I applied too heavy a coat. Thus I had an issue with a run. So I tried to sand it out, I didn't like the look after, so I decided to remove all the finish from that area. I started by sanding, then I had...

Just to preface this I am very new to wood turning. I made a segmented bowl blank (4 in diameter) very easily, however when I went to turn the inside of it I could not take off any wood or it would fly off the lathe. I used Douglas fir, I have a jet 12in lathe and I have tried to used a full...

I have been using my DW735 for a few months now and for the life of me I just can't change the speed setting. I am stuck on #2 and no matter the strength I apply to try to change it to #1 it just won't go. As per the manufacturer direction I am only trying while the planer is running. I opened...

I have a Portercable 690LR in a JessEm Rout-R-Lift II and it sits about 1/32" off center of the plate. It's enough so that I'm unable to use the proper insert rings I purchased with it. I always have to use a ring one size up. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do about it?

Hello. I am having trouble signing in. I keep getting the message in the pic I sent. I wanted to change my email to see if it would clear the problem but I get the same message when trying to access my account settings. Fortunately I was still signed in from a previous post but if I sign out or...

Hi all. I have a DW733 planer I've been letting my dad borrow. I just got it back and the rollers aren't working. So I took it apart and verified that the main drive belt as well as the chain and sprockets for the rollers are all intact and looking good. So, I just cleaned everything, greased...

Laguna Tools Jointer Planer Combo and Bandsaw My Worst Nightmare In Progress I recently purchased a 16" jointer planer combo and 18" 3000 Series Bandsaw from Laguna Tools. It has turned into my worst nightmare. I have spent $6,245.83 on this order. It arrived damaged and I properly noted it on...

We're back up and running. Welcome back everybody! This has been one of the worse days of LumberJocks as our database failed to start and recover early morning my time. I've spent whole day on this but only manage to make a few small positive steps before John from Escalate joined me from the...
