Shop Made Tools

[Tanto]

Nice grinder Swordfish. I like the castors on the bottom. Is it still nice and stable with them?

Impressive work thanks for posting that.

Did i miss it or did you post the dimensions???

I assume you are asking me for dimensions, if not here they are anyway.

Tanto, All the casters are swivel and have locks but I have never used them. This has no noticeable vibration . I am sure all the weight helps in that respect.

DATo, My tracking knobs / system is different than any 2x72 I had seen. It is similar to a delta 6x48 system. One handed - slacken the big knob, adjust track with the small, lock the large knob. In making knives you are constantly shifting the belt over one edge and then the other or at least I am and have not had one problem with tracking. These look too simple to work but they do and do it with all the style and grace you would expect from a 1.5 k machine.

Glad to hear everything worked as expected. Often is the time that instructions are not proofed properly in the designers zeal to publish and the builder finds himself doing a lot of dimension tweaking. You've done a very nice job with that project and I'm sure it will serve you well. Thanks for posting !!!

Well, it has been a little over a year and a half since I started the "shop made tools" thread.

Now it has had over a million hits. (page views)

I had wondered if the software would crash like some Y2K scenario or the water in my sinks would start to swirl the opposite direction. Nope.

I wonder if there are other forums that have threads that have over a million hits. I ran across one the other day about garages that was only about 100K hits behind and still active.

Does anyone know of any other very popular threads that have reached over a million hits?

Well it has done something, the water in our sinks IS swirling in the opposite direction.
