    I got a free (cheap!) 6" benchtop jointer from a friend, and I wonder if anyone can diagnose the issue for me: It planes the first part of the board but leaves the last two inches unplaned.... always. I can run it through thirty times and it just makes the board into a wedge--thinner at the...

    I am wondering about the performance of the cutterhead on Grizzly G0814X. I can't find much info out there, but does it employ shearing cuts like True Helical cutterheads? This model is much cheaper than others I've found, like the Jet JJ-6HHDX. Ultimately, I want to purchase a nice helical...

    I spent a good chunk of yesterday trying to get my Grizzly 8" benchtop jointer relatively coplaner. Following the instruction manual I first got the outfeed table coplaner with the cutting edges. I verified this by placing a straight edge on these positions as highlighted by the manual. I...

    Hello everyone, I'm building a dining table that's about 4.5 ft long lengthwise. I don't own a jointer so I'm trying to find what the best method for face jointing the boards. My thought was to buy a sheet of 3/4" melamine and use that as a flat reference surface and shim the boards and run the...

    Short version: I am likely buying a used Delta DJ-15 jointer, which is currently wired for 110V (single phase). I have 220V already in my shop and would want to convert. Is this something easy to do myself (I am NOT an electrician by any means), or just get a pro to do it? Long version: I'm a...

    Am I looking for something that doesn't exist, a benchtop jointer with good dust collection and that doesn't do harm to your hearing? I've become more and more sensitive to dust, so I recently sold my JD Wallace direct-drive 6" jointer, and now I'm looking to replace it. But the benchtop...

    I made this for an upcoming auction at a local animal rescue center. I used their logo (which is black and white) and dressed it up a bit with walnut burl and aspen. It measures 11.5" x 14".

    I recently inherited an old 4” PowrKraft jointer, model TRT 2514. I think this is the correct manual. http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/657/18077.pdf I'm in the cleaning and rust removal stage, and I discovered that the bearings super stiff. I cracked them off today and now I'm hunting for...

    Anyone know of a good place to look for info on aligning the tables on a WEN JT833H 8-Inch Spiral Benchtop Jointer? I've had a heck of a time getting a good, consistent cut from mine and have put somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 hours messing with it to get it right with modest success. I've...

  18. End Grain Top, A true labor of love

    I have had the opportunity to build several, end grain, butcher block cutting boards when a close friend asked if i could make a counter top for a kitchen island. The process is the same, but it is considerably more work to build a larger top…especially in a small shop like mine. I was...

    I was informed that I we needed a corner cabinet to house a new television in what was going to become our exercise room. So I took up the challenge and went to work. I have never attempted a corner cabinet before and had not really thought about how they are constructed. This project taught...
