I know this is a dumb question...but please understand my mind is still not all there with all the meds. I was on from the Hospital...that being said, I have a question regarding my Jet Spindle sander. If you have this machine you know at times it is hard to loosen the spindle from the machine. I have not used this machine for about a month and I am tying to change to a larger spindle and can not for the life of me remember which way to loosen the spindle. Does the spindle loosen clockwise? Sorry for such a dumb question, but each way I try it is very tight and I do not want to break anything...

It's opposite of the way you want to do it. Can't remember offhand which is which, but I know everything is backwards on it - right up to the nuts.Janette

Reminds me of a sign I saw on the door of a country store. It said "Push, if it don't open, Pull, then if it still don't open, we are CLOSED".Chuck D
When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

If there is one thing I can make perfect every time it is sawdust.

If they did not use a reverse thread the spindle would unscrew while you are sanding. Jet does not have a bad sense of humor it makes perfect sense. I don't know what other spindle sanders you have used but in order to use a standard thread the motor would have to spin backwards and the sandpaper tubes would also have to wrap in the opposite direction otherwise the would probably unwrap as they wear.Tim

I don't want no bargains, they always cost me more money.

Reply to Spring IssueI let my subscription lapse as I have difficulties handling the patterns on the broad sheet in the centre.
I saw the latest book available at Walmart and had quick look. I think only one pattern is in the book and 11 on the insert. Didn't buy.
Until they start and make...-

by RolfI have been trying to purge my basement and shop of "stuff". I had enough yesterday and needed a sawdust fix. I cut the compound cut Water bird designed by Diana Thompson and test cut by my friend Joe Pascucci, a fellow club member. I followed his suggestion of using a harder wood, maple....Today, 09:14 AM

Reply to Spring Issueby Quartz43I am still waiting also. Difficult to hear about people making projects from it when I have not seen it.

by jim_mexThanks for that idea Scott. I don't know much about how to set up such an option up but I'm pretty sure that I can investigate and find out.
Too true Rolf! I don't know if Miguel has changed the working methods of his team but one thing that impressed when I visited several...-
