Re: New Casters

Ed,

I don't want to replace the whole bracket and lift mechanism just the casters. They are in all probability a direct fit???

New Casters

I have an older Mark 5 model 510 with steel casters. Would the new urethane casters be a direct replacement or would some modifications be in order.

Re: The ducks on the lake go round and round

I do a lot of birding here in Willcox and visit our pond as well as Sunsites, Benson, Bowie etc. Our Sandhill Cranes are in the valley and are fun to watch. As a retired Biology teacher I also have been know to guide birding tours into our Chiricahua and Dragoon Mts. If you need to add to your list ...

Re: The ducks on the lake go round and round

Shovelers have serrations on the side of their bills that as they nibble at the water and close up their bills the water goes out between the serrations and the "good stuff" goes down into the crop. They also are churning the water with their feet which bring more stuff up from lower for f...

Re: Bandsaw Tracking

OK, I did a check and the 1/4 inch blade tracks just fine. Just for grins I pulled up an older carbon steel 1/8 inch blade and it also tracks just fine. I put the new premium 1/8 inch blade on and no it will not track. My gut feeling is that it might be the blade.

Bandsaw Tracking

A while back I took advantage of the Shopsmith sale on bandsaw blades. I have been doing some resawing and ripping with no problems. Today I wanted to do some intricate work so I put on the 1/8 inch blade. I tried all sorts of the tricks of the trade but it just wouldn't track. It moved to the outsi...
