... Not sure it's the same model, but Makita apparently made a machine similar (OEM maybe?) to the Hitachi F1000A, which I have seen in person, but have not...
More band saw questions: I don't find any Delta/Milwaukee vintage catalog that shows a wood/metal version or parts for it. Does such an animal exist or was ...
I have the Hitachi F1000a and have used it for 21 years. I believe that Hitachi and Makita were going head to head with these machines, competing for the same...
Now that I have a cross section drawing of the arbor carrier on my 1924 Oliver Model 90, I will be working on taking things apart. Before I do so, I wanted to...
Wow, go away for a couple of weeks, come back and the project still isnčt finished. Anyway, what youčre thinking is what I agree with too. My guess, and...
Its worse. The W/M version makes a passable vertical metal-cutting machine, but only a fair woodworking machine. Consider those machines metal working ...
