A simple way to bring back otherwise warn out power feeder wheels is to refresh them on the lathe

Sorry to offend Jack. I deleted my post of fence improvements and won’t bother you anymore.

What can I say but "amazing", Jack. This has to be the nicest spindle molder I've ever seen. Congrats.

Thanks for following on Instagram as well Marty I appreciate your comments. It’s taking about four years to source parts which is honestly the most difficult part of trying to make these machines complete

Its official... my better half hates you. Love the work you did on the festo feeder. I am copying what you did when I get to my festo. What is the paint you used to paint this thing? Your shaper work is beautiful and the insight you used even better. You have gi en me some excellent ideas.

Love what you did with the brass strain relief. Was wondering how I will deal with this issue on my pk. Thanks for solving this problem. The shaper is running like a kitten. Your tracking and tension is awesome. I am wiping the drool off both sides of my mouth. And that coin.....well what can you say....

It’s PPG Direct to metal so that you don’t see primer at the tape off.

It’s basically a high solids alkyd high gloss in this case with a Hardner. First time I’ve gone high gloss I generally only go satin but I don’t know if I’d use this particular brand again. about $110 a gallon.

Can’t help you out with your marital problems but it should do wonders for your machines.

Head over to the plumbing section in the big box stores and go through their pipe threaded fittings. You can often find brass machined parts that will tap into the British standard pipe thread. The biggest problem with electrical is the BSW with the English kit. The little standoffs there are two support pecks lines for in floor heating and they’re about 3 to 4 dollars each.

Paint is a problem. We just got hit by more VOC restrictions and POLANE guys are a pain in the rear as they dont want to mix wadkin colors. I like the high gloss as it makes your kit look like a shiny bobble. But its practical too. I find the high gloss finish makes blowing sawdust off the machine very easy. The dust does not like to hang out on shiny hard surfaces.
