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
If you need a tool and don't buy it, you will pay for it and not have it

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby handibunnyIt doesn’t matter whether the saw table tilts or the saw arm tilts. Either can be used for any project cut at an angle, and there’s a learning curve for each.
I actually prefer the tilting table because the blade remains vertical. I find that at really steep angles, like 40 or 45 degrees,...-

by will8989This is the tapestry I found in the cedar chest. We can’t identify where the pictures are from. Two among many. I also forgot to mention dad was also in the army Fife and Drum Corps and also played with a big band when he was discharged. Have to find that info....

Reply to Bruce doing greatby will8989What a morning. The therapists were quite pleased with what he could do. He took the wrap off today and he can walk with the walker with very little pain. It’s getting the leg completely straight that is hard to do. It’s when his brother stopped in that things went off rails. Rolf, we are talking...

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby Sandy OaksIf you are referring to 3D Compound cutting, the blade is 90 degrees to the table and not tilted. I use the tilting head for things like inlays and Carole's bowls. If you want a tilting arm, be sure it is rack and pinion. Look at other features that may fit your needs. As a Pegas dealer, I can help...

by Jim LowderI think the foot release was an option. I don’t see the pulley for it on the back of yours. Although it may have been removed. It is a very simple concept, it’s a cable attached to the back of the saw to release the arm
