RE: Casters / wheel kits - questions

Bill,Thanks.  I bet those cost you a fair bit to get them shipped to you.Those wheels def. won't develop a flat spot! (But they will leave rust spots on the floor if there's any moisture on them.)The Shopsmith requires what I believe is called a "stem caster" - in that the caster has a stem (no thr

Re: Casters / wheel kits - questions

I'd suggest taking a look at servicecaster.com out of West Reading Pa.. They have a wide selection of casters with several different types of wheels (i.e., poly, soft rubber' semi-steel, and more). If you rummage around on their site you can research most questions on usag

Re: Casters / wheel kits - questions

The wheels from Woodcraft do lock the wheel rotation and the base to the machine - zero movement in any direction when locked - I will be surprised if you don't love them On Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 10:55 AM Ray Leaman wrote: > I'd suggest taking a look at servicecaster.com

Re: Casters / wheel kits - questions

I have found with certain situations that I prefer to have casters on two corners and matching fixed wheels (vs casters - that can swivel 360º) on the opposing two corners.  Thai allows me to have much better control when moving/positioning certain pieces.  Think about the "normal" American-style g

Re: Not done on a LOM but it could

I designed it on Vcarve and then cut it on my 4th axis. I still don't have the machine working the way that I want it. I had to lower the Z axis's zero twice to get it to the dimension that I wanted. Going from the headstock to the tailstock there was a slight drift in dimension going from zero t

Re: Not done on a LOM but it could

I was thinking of doing that also. However, I thought I would try to design something as one unit. I have 2 ovolo router bits that are like 1.5 inch radius and 1.25 inch radius. So I would be able to "cut" a 3 inch and a 2.5 inch ball. I got these two bits not knowing what they were. I also was

Headstock spindle

I am in need of a headstock spindle for a Legacy Model 1200. The Morse taper is true but, the threads are not aligned with the center of the shaft. When I attached the four-jaw chuck, there is a noticeable wobble. Is this piece available? What is the price and how do I order one? -- Bryce Geor

Re: Casters / wheel kits - questions

If you are not in a hurry for them, Woodcraft put them on sale about every 3-4 months. And the sale prices are pretty good - worth waiting for - IF:  "T-ime is on my side (Yes it is; yes it is").  (1964 - Rolling Stones) Mac-Original Message- From: Tim Ziegler Sent: Nov 2, 2020 11:06 P

Bryce,Is there a good machinist's shop in your area?  Take it to them and see if they can help resolve the issue.If I understand the problem right - the spindle lacks concentricity?between the spindle axis and the external threads?If Tim Krause or Curtis are seeing this, they might have some possib

Curtis,Nice idea.  A bit of a challenge really seeing what it looks like with the photo having been taken straight down.  Can you take another from the side - at an angle?Like the SawStop folks and the saw blade manufacturers tell you when you ask if you can pry the blade brake off and still use th
