Ok Russ. I have to report back that I bought a new dovetail jig in your honor. Thanks for the excuse!
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

That's a long haul! I don't anticipate buying a lot this year, but if I find something I'll do it in your honor

It is a traveling show of vendors with woodworking tools, supplies, and seminars. Tampa is one of the many cities they visit each year. Here's a link to the show in Tampa http://www.thewoodworkingshows.com/webapp-shows/Tampa

Thanks!

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: A question about finish for outdoors project.

Probably the best finish for anything outdoors is Spar Varnish. That is what is used on woodwork on boats (Prior to epoxy).

Yes, you would benefit. I have both a PC 1/4 sheet and a PC ros. The orbit size of the ros is far greater than that of the 1/4 sheet so it accomplishes its task much more quickly. I still use both often, but I reserve the 1/4 sheet for 220 grit and final finish. I recommend the low profile "390K" model. It is more ergo-metric and I have been using mine for years.

My personal opinion is to decide just what you will be producing first, and then base your purchases of tools on that decision. You can always add things if they become necessary, but if you just setup a general woodshop, you may find that some tools go unused while others that would have been important went un-purchased.

I'm very happy with my Jet 14" bandsaw with a riser block and most of the Carter upgrades. It resaws perfectly and has plenty of power. It also works well for bandsaw boxes and other curvy work. What's wrong with the one you have?

If the problem was the switch, I wouldn't be too concerned about the capacitor. It may well last for years without change. Sounds like Danny ht a home run!

No offense, but could you have put a blade in upside down? Did the wood jump up off the table more than normal? It has happened to most of us at some time.

« on: February 10, 2015, 03:24:54 pm »
I can't give you a definitive answer, but it is far more likely the capacitor than a burnt out motor. Do you hear a hum when you turn the power on? This may indicate a lost starter capacitor. Do not leave it turned on for any length of time with a bad capacitor as it is hard on the motor. Is it possible with that model to disconnect the motor from the drive and see if it will start with no load on the motor? In the old days we would turn power on to a motor and then spin the shaft manually. If it would start, it was the cap.
It shouldn't cost much to just replace the capacitor to find out if that is the problem. Eliminate the cheapest part first is the theory.
Good luck!
