Popular Post legenddc Posted June 8 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 8 I got Here. It was $21 after the coupon so you might want to wait a bit. I’d rather just order non-urgent bolts or nuts than rifle through Home Depot only to find they don’t have what I need where I need it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, the others sold by that seller were all in the $130-150 range. I don't know why this one was discounted, but i figured I'd give it a shot. I'll report back after the maiden voyage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 What is a CBN wheel? Besides the obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 @Coop, the abrasive is cubic boron nitride. It is harder than aluminum oxide, and is very, very long wearing. So the wheels don't decrease in diameter as they're used. It is good for sharpening high speed steel tools, like wood turning gouges, but I've heard it can get clogged up when used on high carbon steel, like bench chisels and plane blades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good. Seems to spin true and balanced. The abrasive is very aggressive, but then almost all abrasives are really aggressive when new. I reground the primary bevel on an old beater chisel to test it out. No complaints. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted June 11 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 11 Tenon cutter I purchased in December showed up last week this will be nice in my chair builds. Also picked these up at a recent Mid-West Tool Collectors Association show. More chair tools; a couple of brace's, cobblers hammer for wedges, and a draw knife I can use on the outer bark to save my newer ones from damage from things like dirt, nails, etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Until I saw "chair" I didn't know what kind or tenon you could be making. I'm assuming it makes one size of tenon, or is there some kind of adjustment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ronn W Posted June 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15 Got a replacemnt sppeed controller for my Triton router. Had to make a few emails and phone calls to fine one for 120V. Seems that the company is concentrating on 240V for European market. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 @Ronn W, did you get it from Triton, or did you have to find your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ronn W Posted June 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16 I ended up placing a call to Toolstream.com. The place for spare parts (Tool spares online) told me via email that they no longer carried the 120V version of this part. But Toolstream told me that Tool spares was only out of stock temporarily. Go figure. Toolstream was happy to send me the part. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gee-dub Posted Tuesday at 01:12 PM Popular Post Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:12 PM I'm a Felix the Cat man myself. With a lot of get togethers and grandkid visits lately things tend to get messy in the yard sheds. I'm trying to do a little organizing each morning before the heat hits. It really peeves me when items are laying in the aisles and I can't get to what I want without having to move something I don't. ***NOTE*** I just noticed I put this in the “what came in the mail today“ thread and not the “what did you do today“ thread…doh! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
