Well guys I can honestly say I definitely did not get a kick back but I cannot definitely say the wood did not move on me. It has in the past... I have had it close the saw kerf and pinch my riving knife and all sorts of issues in the past cutting this batch of walnut. So I can't rule it out but......

I agree with Dusty. I don't see how thus can happen (particular with a 1/8" gap) with out a kick back. Maybe at one end of the stock if something moved but not a curve in the middle of the stock. Being inside for a couple of years does not mean that the wood will not move when cut. Is this happ...

The tail stock is a #2 Morse taper. SS sells a live center and they show up on eBay all the time.

I agree with Dusty. Look at the second picture in the first post of this thread. At the 7 o'clock position it looks like the varnish is discolored. The actual fault could be buried in the wire bundle.

Good bearing have grease in them. They should be smooth and easy to turn. They should not spin like a top. If they spin like a top they are dry and on their way to failure.

The hawk just showed up and got his dinner today. Sorry no picture. He flew off with the catch too quickly.

I have to drive half way across the state to the nearest motor shop.

Yes but remember we are talking about Rhode Island.

I agree that motors are not installed in the same orientation. Today we have sealed bearings that don't matter. In the past when we had motor bearings that needed to be lubricated. They were designed for the specific application (orientation direction) with the oil cups up so they could be lubricate...

That is way cool. Not at all intimidating to me at all. Oliver has been making quality wood working tools since the 1890's and is still in business today.

Since SS says no lubrication required, could it be that the manufacturer used (universal) end caps that have "oil holes" that are not used in this application? It makes no sense that they are 90° off set if they are intended to be used. Also oil holes have a spring loaded caps over them to...
