I believe it is for sharpening router bits with your router. You put a small grinding stone in the router and the bit goes in the holder. I have a similar one somewhere.

the last one I did was a band of silver solder flattened to a square and soldered to the brace

I would lay the problem to the cutting edge and not the lead screw. If the bit isn't properly sharpened the lead screw will strip out because it cannot pull the dull cutting lips through behind it....

Keep in mind that what appears to be a fine thread on an RJ bit is actually a double lead thread and is not all that fine in reality. You may be looking at a double lead and a single lead thread with...

I just tapped a lathe chuck for 1 3/8 threads. We used a metal lathe and held the part in the chuck and then put the cone center(dead) into the countersink at the end of the tap. took the biggest...

Here is a link to my take on a sawhorse/sawbench. Strong, easy to make , stacks. Pretty traditional form used by carpenters.

If you are using a jointer plane with the iron square across you need to be sure that it is taking an equal shaving all the way across the plane. Plane your edge straight, put a square on it and see...

The goal of the oil is to carry away swarf and not to lubricate. I use lamp oil which is a modern replacement for sperm oil in lamps. Oil stones can be flattend with coarse sandpaper the same manner...

Just remember Alcohol is flammable, in the water/alcohol concentration for anti freeze it may not be too bad. It may evaporate as well leaving you unprotected.

denaured alcohol might work as well and wouldn't risk fouling the stone.

I assume you are cutting with the grain as this is a rip saw. You don't say what material you are cutting, whether this is a tenon saw, dovetail saw, or panel saw. It would also help to know what...

Some transfomers are filled with some pretty nasty stuff, PCBs I believe, might want to be sure, or not take the risk. I use lamp oil cheap and easy to get. Remember that the oil is to keep the swarf...

I have no knowledge of the Takane movements. You should get one and make a shop clock and give it a test. I have bought movements from Primus here in the US. Weather here is fine, I am over 100 miles...

In this case no. is an abbreviation for number of jewels (0) Glad you got the rest sorted out

You have quite a bit of fine surface pitting as well. I like to polish up the plate as best I can as a smoother plate will have less friction in the cut. some of that can be corrected by putting in...

Rake angle is the angle of the face of the tooth measured from a perpendicular off of the toothline, this is not effected by the back or the handle.
Hang is how the handle is attached relative to...

I would say practice on what you have. Even if they are not very good saws, why practice on good saws? Learn to file on the ones you have while keeping your eye out for better saws. If the saws you...

As a homeschooler with two kids in college now I can say that I know where you are. If I were you I would take the co-learner approach and learn and work along with my son. It sets a good example for...

There are 3 vises in the photo, each is 16 inches long. They are clamped with a 2 carriage bolts and wing nuts, bar nuts would be better. I'm glad you liked the posts.

A frame saw is any saw with the blade held in a frame, a Jewler's saw, a coping saw, turning saw, cooper's saw, some bucksaws (a buck saw is used for cutting wood to length, usually firewood or...

That does work, but wrong forum!
Cupped side up is probably easiest. Plane the ends straight across so you can check for wind, put the ends in wind, plane the edges straight to match the ends, hog...

Unless you have an in-cannel gouge the bevel is usually on the outside of a gouge, either carving or woodturning (ouside being the part that would form a section of the outside of a circle). The...

I usually eyeball square in front of me and use a mirror with a square at 90 degrees to the other line of sight, guide off of the center of the bit rather than the edge. A laser level also works. set...

USA 2000 not Europe. Sorry for the confusion. I have good luck with the Euro. stuff (P2000) as silicon carbide breaks down in to finer and finer grits and keeps cutting.

2000 grit wet or dry sand paper is about the same grit size as an 8000 waterstone.

I wouldn't use paste wax in a wick as it has solvents in it that would dry up in short order. Roy Underhill uses mutton tallow, I use paraffin as it is low maintenance, my friend has a stand with a...

I keep mine in a 5 gallon plastic bucket full of shavings

Option B is better. They do not need to go through just fit well. I don't think in mm but I would make the rails wider say 80 to 90mm and put three tenons on the cross rail. The entire side to side...

You don't want to run the tenons for the mortise and tenon on the long stretchers the way you have them. You want a double or triple tenon running horizontal. The way you have it would be fine in a...

It is much easier to file a saw for ripping than crosscutting. With saws with small teeth I don't find much difference in the quality of the cut so I go with the simpler, easier filing. If you have...

You are taking full width shavings but are they the same thickness edge to edge? Start in the middle of a board with your plane taking no shaving and advance the iron until you get s wisp of a...

I concur with the one in the middle and the one on the end assessment. Disston also used cherry for handles. walnut makes a nice handle as does maple. The advice to use a smooth dense hardwood is...

Once you get a card scraper sharp you will wonder how come you had so much trouble before. Polish the face (at lleast near the edge0 and file the edge square and straight like jointing a saw, polish...

The old handles are fine, I think the large openings have more to do with wearing gloves on the job than a four finger grip. Where I live it gets cold in the winter. Just point your finger and saw.

I don't think you need them. You would also need the irons for them if you did get them. Learn to use the plane as it is. You could buy a used 1/2 set of H and Rs for less money then what these would...

New chisels sometimes have less carbon in the edge due to the hardening process, when the chisels are sharpened a few times this goes away. If you overheated the chisels when grinding the edge this...

M2 is designed to be wear resistant, since sharpening is basically wear they are hard to sharpen. I believe that while they hold an edge longer they have larger carbides and therefore don't get as...

get an extra set, then send these out to be sharpened. By your description you need to sharpen more often as the blades are breaking down from being used dull. If you do happen to get a nick in a...

Planes have more to do with physics than philosophy. Good steel is fairly equal worldwide, wood is wood and people are people. The best bevel angle for an iron, and the best bed angle for a plane for...

Sharp is what counts whether it is a wooden plane or an iron plane, whether you push it or pull it, since you are in japan and have access to Japanese planes use them. "when in rome".

Bad Axe uses top grade materials and Mark is an excellent sharpener. the saws are also very pretty.

Looks like a Stanly #45, go here for more info

Sharpen it up and plane the end grain. Try it on some scrap to see how it works out. it will blow out the ends a bit so leave your board wide. you could plane in part way on the edge which would help...

Heat directly on the screw head, let cool, apply penetrating oil and patience. Check to see If the screw is in the correct place as then there is no need to remove it.

It sounds like you have the wrong cap iron for your plane.

I believe the correct term is square rabbet plane.

I have heard that they are planning a foot powered version for those who don't use power tools. I believe it is loosely based on an old blacksmith bellows.

the large circumference of the knives would cause them to cut faster. Larger diameter same rpm. It would be easier to have the gibs modified or the screws to allow for thicker knives so you don't...
