  • just building my scrolling workshop

    How often do you use a joiner/planer? Just wondering if this is a necessary part of my new workshop. Also, is it helpful to have a drill press with a laser to pinpoint where the drill will create the hole or is this unnecessary? Thanks.

    I don't use my planer very often...when you need it, its invaluable.....the drill press I use a lot and don't have the laser but it would be helpful!

      Like Hi-Ho, I don't use them often, but when you need them, you really need them (planer and jointer that is). As for the laser on the drill press - don't have one and have never missed it and am having a hard time visualizing how one would work on that particular tool. If it shoots straight down the bit would be in the way, if it comes in at an angel I suspect larger bits, particularly a forstner would get in the way. Don't really see the benefit anyway because if the position of the hole is critical I position the work before starting the drill press anyway. I guess if the machine you want has one get it, but I wouldn't let that feature influence my decision.

        I don't use my joiner much but I use my planer a lot. I re-saw all my wood and I use the planer to get it to the thickness I want. I use an extra board 2x12 when planing down to 1/8'

          3-M In your reply you said you used a 2x12 to plane wood to 1/8 '. I've never heard of this can you explain this procedure futher.Does the piece you are planning need to be glued or tapped to the 2x12? Thanks, Poppad

            The top picture shows a nail that holds the board from sliding. That other picture shows the board so you can move the blades of the planer lower than without a board.

              Mike- Thanks, now it makes sense to me. That is a great tip.

                Without the complete schematic it is hard to know what is correct.
                That said, it is a multispeed blower that obviously has a controller board. That board varies the power to the motor. By doing what you did you bypassed that. You put power across the low and high windings. If any thing connecting...

                If he connected to red and black and the motor spun wouldn't that indicate the motor is grounded? Without connecting the white the circuit isn't complete and the motor should not spin.

                The reason for the smoke is incorrect wiring, posible melted insulation between motor windings and motor frame.

                You mentioned connecting power to the red & and black wire. Did you do anything with White wire? Per the lable on the motor the black wire is high the Red is low. White common...
