All have been freshly reground and are flat within .001. The sides have been ground square to the bottom. I took the Keen Kutter 7c apart to show that all all parts work. The #3 has been repainted and it needed to be taken apart to do that so I didn't take it apart for a picture. The blades have been precision ground so no lapping is required. The knob and tote on the 7 are rosewood. The keen Kutter is basically a Bedrock round side with the casting numbers changed. Asking $200 plus shipping for the K7 and if you think that is high check out the prices on eBay unground.
First, I don't cut firewood, I don't cut timber, all I do is basically cleanup any debris on my property. I've always used a gas powered chainsaw. For the last couple of years, I've had issues. I ended up replacing the carburetor and it sorta helped. I'm really frustrated with having to work on it or now I feel it's time to put it in the repair shop for a complete "fix", mainly correcting my failed attempts at a DIY repair. So, I'm mow considering a battery powered chainsaw. I don't have any large trees to worry about plus, I have neighbors if needed. My question, does anyone have experience with a battery operated chainsaw? Pros and cons.

After looking at lots of saws on Marketplace I decided to get this Dewalt 925. Lesser known to me than the legendary MBF, it was the successor to that saw and, according to a guy on YouTube, an even better saw. So when I saw this one about an hour away I got it. The guy asked $100 for it. When I got there and saw that he was selling off stuff because of a divorce, I didn't have the heart to barter with him. He and his brother put the saw in my car, so it was all good.
I didn't find out how heavy even a small RAS is until I got home and went to pull it out of my car. I ended up taking it apart in order to have parts light enough to carry down to my shop. But that made it easier to clean out all the old grease and dirt, so it wasn't wasted effort. The good news is everything was in good shape. The head slides smoothy in the arm, the motor runs smoothly, and all the knobs and parts are there. A little light rust in some places on the frame, but nothing bad.
I couldn't salvage the original table, so I made a new one. I put three metal bars in it to make sure it stays flat. I had never seen a fold down front section until I saw the one on this saw. It came that way from the factory so I included it on the new one. If you raise the front section and rotate to the saw head to the out rip position, it will rip a little wider than 25". I don't plan to use it for that, but it's impressive that even such a little saw can do that. Crosscut capacity is 12"+ with the fence in the forward position, and about 15" if you move it back.
Here it is on it's temporary stand.
After I got everything adjusted, I gave it a test drive. Plenty of power on 3/4" thick maple and zips through 3/4" plywood with the 8-1/2" Oshlum 60 tooth blade I have on it. Beautiful, chipout free cuts on both.
The reason I got this saw was because of problems I've had with my CMS getting smile free 45 deg cuts in hard maple, etc, despite trying several blades. So that was the benchmark test.
Mission accomplished. Now to find it a permanent home.
Afternoon All, I am open to suggestions on what to use to clean up this Jointer table? as to not warp the table with massive belt sander.. LOL
Motor and other parts work great... just collected moisture in the shed from sitting and roof leakage I covered it in heavy plastic and bungie corded around it.. not sure if that hurt it more as no air draw and moister rose from the concrete floor?
I have 19 HSS router bits for sale. I have no idea how old these are but many still have the wax on them.
Some surface rust but I actually think the pics make it look worse than it is.
I will estimate the number and size. It was hard to get an exact count without taking all the wax off.
Last time I was here, I was asking for some help with what I called the bubble leg desk. That project actually turned out great and the customer is very happy.
This time, my sister-in-law is asking that I build her and my brother a new dining table. This is sort of what she wants.
Top will be 80" x 45" out of oak, preferably white.
The top is easy enough, just the size and weight make it challenging to move around.
For the base, I am thinking along the lines of building plywood boxes approximately 8" wide x 28 depth. Adding support pieces in the top to attach cross members that would fit into notches. The cross members will connect the two bases and provide for attaching the top.
For finishing the bases, I think that applying a black dye, stain, or even flat back paint first to the boxes, then applying pre-finished wood strips.
I am interested in ideas on constructing the base, and how you would finish it.
